A company has a PowerStore cluster with two appliances. They are planning to perform maintenance on one appliance, which will require it to be powered off. What is the expected impact on the storage services provided by the cluster?

The cluster will operate in a degraded mode with reduced performance

The other appliance will take over the I/O, and services will continue without interruption

All storage services will be temporarily unavailable until the appliance is back online

The cluster will automatically rebuild data from the remaining appliance

In a PowerStore system, what is the function of front-end ports?

They connect hosts to the storage system for I/O

They connect the appliance to a remote replication target

They connect the appliance to the management network

They connect the nodes to the drive enclosures

An administrator is explaining PowerStore's architecture to a new team member. They state that a PowerStore cluster is formed by pairing two appliances. What is the primary benefit of this 'pairing' architecture?

It allows for independent scaling of compute and storage resources

It simplifies cabling by requiring only one connection between the appliances

It enables synchronous replication and an active-active data path between the appliances

It provides a unified management interface for both appliances

A hospital is deploying a two-node PowerStore 500T cluster to run a critical EHR database. The storage administrator is concerned about a single node failure causing application downtime. Which architectural feature of PowerStore directly addresses this concern?

RAID 6 protection on the back-end drives

Dual power supplies in each node

NVMe over Fabrics for front-end connectivity

Active-active node configuration with automatic failover of I/O

What is the purpose of the power supplies in a PowerStore appliance?

To convert AC power to the DC voltages needed by the components

To provide battery backup for the cache during a power outage

To regulate the temperature inside the appliance

To provide network connectivity for management
