An administrator is explaining PowerScale storage management to a colleague. They need to clarify the difference between SmartPools and file pool policies. Which statement is accurate?

SmartPools is a storage pool; file pool policies are used to create storage pools

SmartPools is the feature that enables file pool policies; file pool policies are the rules that automate data placement

SmartPools is a hardware component; file pool policies are software

SmartPools manages SSD caching; file pool policies manage HDD storage

An organization wants to ensure that all files containing 'confidential' in the filename are stored on a specific storage pool for security reasons. Which feature should they use?

SmartPools with a security zone

File pool policy with a filename match criterion

Storage pool with a security filter

SSD caching with a filename filter

A company is deploying a new PowerScale cluster. They have two types of nodes: high-capacity HDD nodes and high-performance SSD nodes. They want to ensure that data is initially written to the SSD nodes for fast ingest, but then automatically moved to HDD nodes after 30 days. What should they configure?

Create a single storage pool with both node types and enable automatic tiering

Create two storage pools (one for SSD nodes, one for HDD nodes) and a file pool policy that moves files older than 30 days to the HDD pool

Configure SmartPools to automatically balance data between the two node types

Use SSDs for metadata acceleration and configure a file pool policy to move data to HDDs

An administrator is designing a PowerScale solution for a video surveillance company. They need high write throughput for new footage, but older footage is rarely accessed. They plan to use a two-tier storage strategy. Which combination of components will achieve this?

A high-performance storage pool for new data, a high-capacity storage pool for old data, and a file pool policy to move data based on age

A single storage pool with mixed drives and SmartPools to balance load

SSD caching for new data and a file pool policy to move old data to HDDs

Two storage pools and SSD metadata acceleration for old data
