What is the primary purpose of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in PowerScale?

To encrypt data on the storage cluster

To manage data replication schedules

To monitor network traffic for intrusions

To restrict administrative actions to authorized roles

A company uses Kerberos for SMB authentication to PowerScale. They are experiencing authentication failures for some users. The error logs indicate 'KDC cannot find the requested principal'. What is the most likely cause?

SMB encryption is not enabled on the share

The user's account is locked out due to failed login attempts

The user's password has expired

The PowerScale cluster is not joined to the Active Directory domain

A law firm stores case files on PowerScale. They need to ensure that only partners can read sensitive documents, while associates can read but not modify them. The files are stored in a directory with inherited permissions. What should be configured to enforce this?

Enable SmartLock on the directory

Apply ACLs on the sensitive documents directory

Use data classification to tag the files

Configure RBAC roles for partners and associates

Which regulatory requirement is SmartLock compliance mode specifically designed to address?

Data encryption standards like AES-256

Record retention and immutability requirements

A healthcare organization is deploying a new PowerScale cluster to store patient records. They require encryption at rest to meet HIPAA compliance. The cluster will use HDDs for bulk storage and SSDs for metadata. The organization wants to minimize performance impact while ensuring all data is encrypted. What should they configure?

Enable software-based encryption on the cluster

Configure encryption keys with an external key manager

Enable encryption only on the SSD metadata drives

Use self-encrypting drives (SEDs) for both HDDs and SSDs
