A PowerScale cluster is running OneFS 9.4. An administrator needs to add a node that is running OneFS 9.2. The compatibility matrix shows that 9.2 nodes cannot join a 9.4 cluster. What is the correct procedure?

Use the WebUI to join the node, as it may allow version differences.

Upgrade the new node to OneFS 9.4 before joining.

Downgrade the cluster to OneFS 9.2.

Join the node using the CLI with the '--force' flag.

A new node is being added to a PowerScale cluster. The administrator has connected the node to the network and powered it on. During the discovery phase, the cluster does not detect the new node. What is the most likely cause?

The node is not on the same subnet as the cluster's front-end network.

The node's power supply is not redundant.

The node's IP address is not in the cluster's DNS.

The node's OneFS version is newer than the cluster's version.

Which pre-check is required before adding a node to a PowerScale cluster to ensure the cluster can accommodate the new node's storage capacity?

Confirm that the cluster's total usable capacity will not exceed the maximum supported by the OneFS version.

Ensure that the new node's drives are pre-formatted with the same file system as the cluster.

Verify that the cluster has enough free license slots for the new node.

Check that the new node has more RAM than the existing nodes to handle additional load.
