   A host reports intermittent connectivity to a PowerMax FC port. Which initial check would most likely identify a common cause?

   • AConfirm the port's WWN is correct
   • BReview the array's power consumption logs
   • CCheck the host's operating system version
   • DVerify the port's link status and error counters

   A service provider is designing a new multi-tenant environment on a PowerMax. They have 50 tenants, each requiring a dedicated set of LUNs. To reduce hardware costs, they want to use a single physical FC port on the array for multiple tenants. They plan to use NPIV on the host side. What is the primary consideration for this design?

   • AEach tenant's host must present a unique WWN via NPIV, and the array's masking view must be configured to map each WWN to the correct tenant's storage group.
   • BNPIV is only supported on the host side, so the array must have a separate physical port for each tenant.
   • CThe administrator must create a separate port group on the array for each tenant.
   • DThe array will automatically create a new virtual port for each tenant, so no additional configuration is required.

   A PowerMax administrator is monitoring the array's performance. They notice that a front-end port is showing a high number of 'Invalid CRC' errors. What is the most appropriate initial troubleshooting step?

   • AReview the zoning configuration on the SAN switch.
   • BInspect and reseat the fiber optic cable and SFP+ transceiver on both ends of the connection.
   • CReboot the director that contains the port.
   • DCheck the masking view to ensure the correct host is mapped to the port.

   What is the benefit of using port groups in a PowerMax configuration?

   • ATo simplify management by applying common settings to multiple ports
   • BTo increase the physical bandwidth of a single port
   • CTo replace the need for LUN masking
   • DTo automatically encrypt all traffic
