Explanation:
"For PowerStore T model appliances, the individual ports within the system bond could be running in
active/active mode or active/passive mode. This state depends on whether Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP) has been configured on the network switches. To ensure best resiliency and network
performance, it is recommended to enable LACP on the network. For more information about
configuring LACP for a PowerStore T model appliance, see the document PowerStore Guide for
PowerStore T Models on the PowerStore Info Hub. For PowerStore X model appliances, there is no
system bond and no LACP configuration is needed because the link aggregation and failover is
handled by the virtual switches within the VMware hypervisor. "

What is different about the management network configuration for the new appliance compared to
configuring an initial appliance for the cluster?

  • A. All the needed management IP addresses for the new appliance must be pre-configured on the cluster
  • B. Additional appliance does not require a cluster management IP address
  • C. Additional appliance inherits all its management IPs from the existing appliance

Explanation:
Each appliance must have Management and Storage networks configured. Management networks
connect the cluster to management services such as DNS, NTP, and vCenter. The management
network also enables external clients to access the cluster. The Storage network connects the cluster
to an existing storage network or establishes a new network within the cluster. It also enables
external clients to access the storage in the cluster. Both the Management and Storage networks
require at least three IP addresses
