A PowerScale cluster has nodes with outdated firmware that may cause performance issues. The administrator needs to update the firmware on all nodes without disrupting ongoing client operations. What is the recommended approach?

Manually download firmware to each node and apply it individually.

Use the `isi firmware update` command to stage and apply firmware updates in a rolling fashion.

Use the WebUI to update firmware on all nodes simultaneously.

Schedule a maintenance window and power off all nodes before updating firmware.

An administrator needs to verify that all nodes in a PowerScale cluster are running the same firmware version before a maintenance window. What command should they use?

Check the BIOS version on each node via the WebUI.

Run `isi firmware list` to display firmware versions for all nodes.

Use `isi hardware list` to view firmware.

Run `isi status` to see firmware versions.

A storage administrator notices that a PowerScale cluster is reporting intermittent client disconnects. They need to quickly determine whether any node is experiencing hardware errors or service failures. Which tool should they use first?

Collect a full cluster support bundle and analyze the logs offline.

Run `isi status` from the CLI to view cluster health and node status.

Check the DNS server configuration for the cluster.

Reboot all nodes to clear any transient errors.

What is the recommended method to update node firmware in a PowerScale cluster to minimize disruption?

Update all nodes simultaneously

Use the OneFS upgrade process to apply firmware updates in a rolling fashion

Update firmware only during a full cluster reboot

Power off the cluster and update each node manually
