   A maintenance team is planning to replace a failed node in a PowerScale cluster. The cluster is running at 90% capacity, and the replacement will require a shutdown of the node for 4 hours. The cluster has a replication factor of 2. What should the maintenance plan include to minimize the risk of data loss?

   • ASchedule the maintenance during a period of low usage and monitor the cluster's health during the shutdown.
   • BIncrease the replication factor to 3 before the maintenance to provide additional data protection.
   • CPerform the maintenance immediately because the node is already failed.
   • DVerify that the cluster can tolerate the loss of one node and have a backup plan in case of additional failures.

   A customer is installing a PowerScale node in a data center that has a power distribution unit (PDU) with a 30 A rating. The node draws 5 A, and the PDU is already supplying 20 A to other equipment. The customer wants to add a second node to the same PDU. What should you recommend?

   • AAdd the second node and monitor the PDU's load to ensure it does not exceed the rating.
   • BAdd the second node to the PDU because the total load will be 25 A, which is within the PDU's rating.
   • CUse a different PDU for the second node to avoid exceeding the continuous load rating.
   • DAdd the second node to the PDU because the PDU's rating is sufficient for the total load.
