A new drive shelf has been added to an E-Series system and is visible in SANtricity System Manager. The administrator needs to create a new volume for a database application. The application requires high performance and redundancy. What should the administrator do first?

Initialize the drives individually, then create a volume on each drive.

Create a RAID 0 group using all the new drives, then create a volume on that group.

Create a RAID 5 group using the new drives, then create a volume on that group.

Create a volume directly on the unconfigured drives without a RAID group.

An organization is planning to add a new drive shelf to an E-Series system that is currently running an older firmware version. The new shelf comes with newer firmware. What should the administrator do before installing the new shelf?

Upgrade the E-Series controllers to the latest supported firmware version.

Check the SANtricity System Manager for a compatibility matrix after installation.

Install the new shelf as-is; the system will automatically handle firmware differences.

Downgrade the new shelf's firmware to match the controllers' version.

An organization is adding a new drive shelf to an E-Series system that is currently running a mix of drive types (SAS and NL-SAS). The new shelf will contain SSDs. The administrator wants to ensure that the new SSDs are used for a high-performance application. What should the administrator do?

Place the SSDs in the same RAID group as the SAS drives to increase capacity.

Format the SSDs and add them to the existing RAID group.

Create a separate RAID group using only the SSDs for the high-performance application.

Use the SSDs as cache for the existing SAS drives.

An administrator is adding a new drive shelf to an E-Series system. The system currently has one shelf with a base ID of 1. The new shelf will be placed in the same rack. What base ID should the administrator set for the new shelf?

Any ID is acceptable as long as it is different from the existing shelf.

Which action verifies that newly added storage is recognized by the E-Series system?

Checking the storage array's hardware inventory for the new shelf and drives

Rebooting the controllers to refresh the configuration

Formatting the drives with a file system
