A vSphere administrator is planning storage for a new cluster that will run a mix of workloads. Some VMs require high-performance block storage, while others are less demanding and can use file storage. The storage team wants to use PowerStore for both. What is the recommended approach?

Use VMFS datastores for high-performance workloads and NFS datastores for less demanding workloads

Use VMFS datastores on PowerStore block volumes for all VMs

Use NFS datastores on PowerStore file systems for all VMs

A company is deploying a new VMware cluster for a high-performance database workload. The storage team has decided to use PowerStore. The database requires low latency and high throughput, and the vSphere administrator wants to use VMFS datastores. Which PowerStore provisioning method should be used to present storage to the ESXi hosts?

Create a volume and map it to the ESXi hosts via FC or iSCSI

Create a NAS server and use SMB 3.0 for the datastore

Create a file system and export it via NFS

Create a storage container and attach it directly to the virtual machines

A company wants to use PowerStore's QoS capabilities to limit the performance of a specific virtual machine. The vSphere administrator has created a VM storage policy with a QoS setting. What is required for this policy to take effect on a PowerStore-backed datastore?

The PowerStore vSphere Storage Provider must be enabled and the policy must be associated with the datastore

The virtual machine must be configured with a static disk

The datastore must be an NFS datastore

The ESXi host must have the PowerStore CLI installed

A vSphere administrator is configuring a new ESXi host for iSCSI connectivity to PowerStore. The host has two software iSCSI adapters, but only one is being used for storage traffic. The administrator wants to use both for multipathing. What must be done on PowerStore to enable multipathing?

Enable the 'Multipathing' option on the volume

Use the ESXi host's IP address as the initiator identifier

Add both IQNs to the same host entry

Create two separate host entries and map the same volume to both
