A manufacturing company is deploying a PowerScale cluster for its design and engineering teams. The design team uses Windows workstations, and the engineering team uses Linux workstations. Both teams need to access the same files for collaboration. What is the best way to configure the cluster to support both teams?

Enable both SMB and NFS protocols on the same share, with appropriate access zones.

Create two separate shares, one with SMB and one with NFS, and have the teams copy files between them.

Enable only NFS, as it is the most efficient protocol for file sharing.

Enable only SMB, as it is the most common protocol for file sharing.

What is the primary role of the back-end network in a PowerScale cluster?

To connect to the management console

To provide client access to data

To carry cluster-internal communication such as data replication and node heartbeats

To provide out-of-band management access

What is the purpose of tuning the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size on a PowerScale network?

To improve security by encrypting packets

To increase the number of concurrent connections

To reduce the number of packets needed for large data transfers

In a PowerScale network design, which traffic types are commonly separated into different VLANs?

Only management and back-end traffic

Client access, back-end, and management traffic

All traffic on a single VLAN for simplicity

Only client access and back-end traffic
