Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerEdge Server — Question 66

You are configuring a VMware cluster to use storage from both a PowerMax and a VMAX array. You want the VMware administrators to be able to provision and manage both Dell EMC storage arrays from within the vSphere client.

What must be installed and configured to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. VSI plugin 7.x and SMI-S provider
• B. VSI plugin 8.x and SMI-S provider
• C. VSI plugin 8.x only
• D. VSI plugin 8.x and 7.x

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the VSI plugin 8.x provides the necessary capabilities to manage both storage arrays directly from the vSphere client. Options A and B include unnecessary components that are not required for this specific management task, while option D suggests using both versions of the plugin, which is not needed.
