What is the purpose of the failover policy in a PowerScale IP pool?

To route traffic between different VLANs

To redirect client traffic to another IP address if the primary interface fails

To assign IP addresses to nodes automatically

To balance client connections across all nodes in the cluster

An administrator is configuring a PowerScale cluster with multiple IP pools. They want to ensure that if a node fails, the IP addresses from that node are redistributed to other nodes in the same pool. What is the best way to achieve this?

Use a load balancer to distribute traffic to the remaining nodes.

Configure the IP pool with a static load balancing policy.

Create a separate IP pool for each node and enable failover between the pools.

Enable failover on the IP pool and ensure that all nodes in the pool have interfaces that can accept the IP addresses.

What is the role of NIS (Network Information Service) in a PowerScale cluster?

To balance network traffic across interfaces

To provide centralized user and group information for authentication and access control

To resolve hostnames to IP addresses

To provide routing information for the cluster

A PowerScale cluster is configured to use an external NIS server for user authentication. Users report that they cannot log in to the cluster. The NIS server is reachable from the cluster. What should the administrator check first?

The IP pool is configured with the correct failover settings.

The NIS domain name configured on the cluster matches the NIS server's domain.

The VLAN ID on the subnet is correct.

The DNS server is configured correctly.
