Which of the following is a prerequisite for creating a new PowerScale cluster?

A dedicated DNS server must be configured before cluster creation.

Each node must have a unique static IP address on the same subnet as the cluster management network.

All nodes must be the same model and have identical hardware specifications.

All nodes must be connected to a Fibre Channel SAN for storage.

A company is deploying a PowerScale cluster in a remote office with limited IT staff. The cluster will be used for file storage and must be highly available. The administrator has two options: use a single switch for all nodes or use two switches for redundancy. The budget is tight. What is the best approach to balance cost and availability?

Use two switches with each node connected to both switches

Use two switches but connect each node to only one switch

Use a single switch with redundant power supplies

Use a single switch and rely on the cluster's internal redundancy

Which of the following is a valid method to validate a newly created PowerScale cluster?

Ping the cluster's public IP address from the internet

Check the cluster status in the OneFS WebUI

Run the `isi status` command on any node

Verify that all nodes have the same hostname

After creating a new PowerScale cluster, an administrator runs 'isi status' and sees that one node is reporting a 'degraded' status. The node is reachable via ping. What is the most likely cause of the degraded status?

The node is overloaded with client requests

The node is running a different OneFS version

The node's IP address is incorrect
