   A monitoring script uses the PowerStore REST API to retrieve datastore metrics. The script currently queries the /api/rest/datastore endpoint and receives a large JSON response with many fields. The script is slow and consumes excessive bandwidth. Which API feature should the script use to improve efficiency?

   • AUse the filter query parameter to limit results
   • BUse the select query parameter to request only the needed fields
   • CUse the sort query parameter to order results
   • DUse the page query parameter to paginate results

   A storage administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue on a VMFS datastore. The datastore shows high IOPS but low latency in PowerStore Manager. However, users report slow performance for a critical VM. What is the most likely explanation for this discrepancy?

   • AThe datastore is experiencing a capacity issue
   • BThe PowerStore metrics are incorrect
   • CThe VM's performance issue is not storage-related; the bottleneck may be CPU, memory, or network
   • DThe datastore is configured with the wrong RAID level

   A VMware administrator notices that a critical VMFS datastore on a PowerStore array is at 92% capacity. The administrator needs to determine whether the current growth rate will exhaust the remaining space within the next 30 days. Which PowerStore Manager view provides the most direct information to make this assessment?

   • AThe vCenter Alarms tab, listing current warning and critical alerts for the datastore
   • BThe datastore's Performance page, showing IOPS and latency over the last 24 hours
   • CThe PowerStore REST API endpoint for datastore capacity, returning a single current value
   • DThe datastore's Capacity page, showing current usage and historical capacity trend charts
