   An organization is planning a PowerScale cluster with 4 nodes. They have a 10GbE network for client access and a separate 1GbE network for backend cluster communication. The plan must ensure that client traffic does not interfere with cluster internal traffic. What is the best network configuration?

   • AUse the 1GbE network for client traffic and the 10GbE network for backend traffic.
   • BUse only the 10GbE network for both client and backend traffic to maximize performance.
   • CUse separate VLANs for client and backend traffic, and connect each node to both networks.
   • DUse the same VLAN for both client and backend traffic to simplify configuration.

   Which check validates a successful PowerScale cluster installation?

   • AVerify that all nodes are visible in the cluster and the cluster health check reports no errors.
   • BVerify that the front-end network is connected to the internet.
   • CVerify that each node has a unique hostname.
   • DVerify that the cooling fans are spinning at maximum speed.

   A company is planning a PowerScale cluster that will be accessed by clients on a 10GbE network. The cluster will have 6 nodes, each with two 10GbE ports. The network team wants to ensure that client traffic is evenly distributed across the nodes. What is the recommended approach?

   • AUse a single network switch for all client connections to simplify the topology.
   • BConfigure the client network with link aggregation (LACP) between each node and the switch.
   • CAssign each node a different VLAN to isolate client traffic.
   • DConnect all client ports to a single switch port using a hub.

   Which network topology is typically used for a PowerScale cluster's backend network?

   • AA dual-switch topology with redundant connections for high availability.
   • BA daisy-chain topology where each node connects to the next.
   • CA wireless mesh network to reduce cabling.
   • DA single flat network with all nodes on the same subnet.
