A vSphere administrator needs to provision a new datastore for a critical application. The datastore must be on a PowerMax array with specific performance characteristics and must be immediately visible to all hosts in a cluster. They have VSI installed. What is the most efficient way to accomplish this?

Create the LUN in Unisphere, then use vSphere to create the datastore and rescan.

Use PowerCLI to create the LUN and datastore.

Use vSphere's New Datastore wizard to create the LUN on the array.

Use VSI to create the LUN and datastore, then rescan the cluster.

A company uses VSI to manage PowerMax storage in vSphere. The storage team wants to automate the process of creating datastores and applying consistent storage policies. What VSI feature should they use?

VSI's performance monitoring dashboard.

Storage Policy-based Management (SPBM) integration.

VSI's built-in scripting engine.

What does VSI provide to vSphere administrators through its integration with vCenter Server?

A unified view of virtual machines and PowerMax storage

A separate console for storage management

A command-line interface for storage operations

A storage administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue with a VM that resides on a PowerMax datastore. They suspect the LUN is not optimally configured. Using VSI, what is the best way to gather information about the LUN's configuration and performance?

Log into Unisphere to view LUN performance.

Check the vSphere performance charts for the VM.

Use VSI's Storage Viewer to see LUN details and performance metrics.

An organization has VSI installed and wants to ensure that only authorized storage administrators can create or delete datastores using VSI. What should they configure in vCenter?

Configure PowerMax array-level security groups.

Set up a separate vCenter instance for storage administrators.

Assign the appropriate vCenter roles and permissions to VSI users.

Enable VSI's built-in access control list.
