   A media company stores large video files on a PowerScale cluster. An administrator sets a requested protection level of +2d:1n for a new directory containing 4K raw footage. After writing the data, the administrator runs `isi get protection` on a file and sees that the actual protection level is +2d:1n. However, the cluster has 6 nodes and the file was written when one node was down. What is the most likely reason the actual protection level matches the requested level?

   • AThe system was able to apply the requested protection level because the cluster had enough nodes to support it, even with one node down.
   • BThe `isi get protection` command displays the requested level by default, not the actual level, so the output is misleading.
   • CThe requested protection level was automatically downgraded by the system to match the available nodes, and the output reflects the new value.
   • DThe file was written after the node came back online, so the full requested protection level could be applied.

   A university IT team manages a PowerScale cluster with 7 nodes. They set a requested protection level of +3d:1n for a research data directory. After writing the data, they run `isi get protection` and see the actual level is +3d:1n. What can be concluded?

   • AThe requested protection level was applied successfully because the cluster has sufficient nodes.
   • BThe actual protection level is higher than requested because the cluster has extra nodes.
   • CThe actual protection level is lower than requested because the cluster is under maintenance.

   A financial services firm has a PowerScale cluster with 8 nodes. An administrator creates a new directory for archived transaction logs and sets a requested protection level of +3d:1n. After writing the data, the administrator runs `isi get protection` and sees the actual protection level is +2d:1n. What is the most likely reason for this discrepancy?

   • AThe `isi get protection` command shows the suggested level, not the actual level, so the output is expected.
   • BThe requested protection level was not supported by the cluster configuration, so the system applied the suggested level instead.
   • CThe actual protection level is always one level lower than requested to ensure performance.
   • DThe administrator made a typo when setting the requested protection level, and the system silently corrected it.
