How does Solutions Enabler typically allocate gatekeeper devices for host access to a Dell PowerMax array?

It uses any LUN that is already mapped to the host as a gatekeeper

It uses a reserved portion of the host's system disk for gatekeeper communication

It requires the host administrator to manually create and present gatekeeper devices to the host

It automatically creates gatekeepers on the array and presents them to the host without manual intervention

A storage administrator is setting up a new Linux host to manage a PowerMax array using Solutions Enabler. The host will run SYMCLI commands to create storage groups and mask views. The administrator wants to ensure the host can communicate with the array without exposing the management ports. What is the primary purpose of configuring gatekeeper devices on this host?

To provide a dedicated high-bandwidth data path for host I/O to the array

To cache array configuration data locally for faster SYMCLI responses

To authenticate the host with the array using CHAP credentials

To enable the host to send management commands to the array over the SAN

A Solutions Enabler host is experiencing slow response times for SYMCLI commands. The administrator suspects a gatekeeper issue. What should the administrator do to diagnose the problem?

Run `symmaskdb list` to check masking views

Run `symcfg list` to check the array status

Run `symcfg list -gatekeeper` to check the number and status of gatekeepers

Run `symdev list` to check all devices
