D-XTR-MN-A-24 Exam Dumps : Dell XtremIO Maintenance Achievement

The XtremIO Storage Array Site Preparation Guide contains the power requirements for the XtremIO system. This guide includes detailed specifications for power consumption, electrical requirements, and other environmental factors necessary for proper installation and operation.

The correct sequence of steps to power up an XtremIO X1 cluster after an emergency shutdown is as follows:

Determine the cause of the shutdown

Power up the Battery Backup Units

Power up the XMS

Power up the Storage Controllers

Start the cluster

Detailed Explanation with References:

Determine the cause of the shutdown: Before powering up the system, it is essential to understand why the emergency shutdown occurred to prevent reoccurrence.

Power up the Battery Backup Units: The BBUs provide the necessary power to the storage controllers during power-up.

Power up the XMS: The XtremIO Management Server must be powered up to manage and monitor the storage system.

Power up the Storage Controllers: Once the BBUs and XMS are operational, power up the storage controllers.

Start the cluster: Finally, start the cluster to bring the XtremIO system back online and resume normal operations.

The correct sequence of steps to install a virtual XMS prior to creating the cluster on an XtremIO X2 is:

Deploy the OVF Template

Configure the XMS

Transfer the Installation Package to the XMS Server

Install only the XMS

Display the Installation Package on the Storage Controller

Deploy the OVF Template: Begin by deploying the Open Virtualization Format (OVF) template which is a pre-configured virtual machine that contains all necessary installation files.

Configure the XMS: After deployment, configure XtremIO Management Server (XMS) which involves setting up network configurations and other system settings.

Transfer the Installation Package to the XMS Server: The next step is transferring all necessary installation files for XtremIO to your newly configured XMS server.

Install only the XMS: Proceed with installing only XtremIO Management Server software on your server.

Display the Installation Package on Storage Controller: Finally, ensure that your storage controller can access and display all relevant installation packages for further processes.

These steps are outlined in the Dell XtremIO Maintenance Achievement document and provide a systematic approach to installing a virtual XMS, which is essential for managing and creating an XtremIO X2 cluster.
