The configuration details can be exported during theCluster Configurationstep of the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) for Dell PowerStore. This step allows the user to review the chosen configuration information, validate the configuration, and initiate the cluster creation.It is at this point that the option to export the configuration details is provided1.
For a detailed guide on how to navigate the ICW and export configuration details, users should refer to the official Dell PowerStore Manager Overview documentation or the PowerStore Info Hub, which includes product documentation and videos that assist with PowerStore deployment and maintenance12. It is important to follow the official documentation to ensure that the process is carried out correctly and to maintain system integrity and compliance with warranty and support agreements.
Question 2
What is the protocol used for the storage network?
Options:
A.
NFS
B.
FC
C.
iSCSI
D.
SMB
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The protocol used for the storage network in Dell PowerStore systems is Fibre Channel (FC). FC is a high-speed network technology primarily used for storage networking.Dell PowerStore utilizes FC as part of its all-NVMe design, which also includes NVMe-over-fabric networking to deliver low latency performance for storage workloads1.
Fibre Channel provides several benefits for storage networks, including:
High throughput and low latency for storage operations.
Support for long-distance networking, which is beneficial for disaster recovery and remote backups.
A mature and widely supported ecosystem with a variety of hardware and software options.
For detailed information on configuring and using FC with Dell PowerStore, administrators should refer to the Dell PowerStore Networking Guide for Storage Services and the Dell PowerStore Best Practices Guide.These documents provide comprehensive instructions on network configurations, including best practices for setting up and managing FC networks within Dell PowerStore environments23. Following these guidelines ensures optimal performance and reliability of the storage network.
Question 3
A Storage Administrator needs to connect through SSH to run svc commands. How is the SSH session configured?
Options:
A.
NAS server IP address using port 22
B.
Appliance IP address using port 26
C.
NAS server IP address using port 26
D.
Appliance IP address using port 22
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The SSH session for a Storage Administrator to run svc commands on a Dell EMC PowerStore system is configured using theAppliance IP address using port 22.
To connect to the service console over SSH, the Storage Administrator should use the appliance IP address.
The default SSH port for accessing the service console isport 221.
SSH access to the nodes may be required for troubleshooting and is not enabled by default. To enable SSH access:
Navigate toSettings.
SelectSSH Managementfrom the Security section.
Choose the appliance or appliances on which to enable SSH.
ClickENABLE SSH1.
The service user account is used for SSH login, and the password is set during the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW) or can be reset from the PowerStore Manager user interface1.
It’s important to note that the SSH port used to log in to the service container is port 22 after the cluster creation is completed.Before the ICW is run, port 26 may be used1.
For detailed instructions on how to connect to the service console over SSH, please refer to the official Dell documentation or contact Dell Support for assistance.
