A company is deploying a PowerScale cluster with a mix of node models. The administrator is about to run the cluster creation process. What is a critical prerequisite that must be verified before proceeding?

All nodes have been assigned the same hostname

All nodes have the same amount of RAM

All nodes are running the same OneFS version

All nodes are connected to the same power source

Before creating a new PowerScale cluster, which of the following must be verified on each node?

The node has a public IP address assigned to its external interface.

The node is running a supported version of the PowerScale OneFS operating system.

The node has a hostname that matches its DNS entry.

The node is connected to a shared external storage array.

An administrator is configuring the initial network settings on a PowerScale node. The node has two network interfaces: one for front-end (client) traffic and one for back-end (cluster) traffic. The administrator must ensure that the back-end interface is on a separate subnet from the front-end interface. What is the reason for this requirement?

To simplify the IP address assignment process

To enable jumbo frames on the back-end network

To allow the node to use different gateways for each interface

To prevent client traffic from interfering with cluster communication

After creating a PowerScale cluster, which of the following should be verified to ensure proper functionality?

The cluster has a public IP address

The cluster name matches the DNS entry

All nodes are visible in the cluster and show a healthy status

All nodes have the same IP address

A storage administrator is preparing to create a new PowerScale cluster. The nodes are connected to a network that uses VLANs. The administrator must ensure that the nodes can communicate with each other for cluster creation. What is the best way to verify this?

Check the VLAN configuration on the switches

Ping each node from the other nodes

Use the WebUI to check node status

Run the cluster creation command and see if it succeeds
