Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, SC Series — Question 19

A Storage Administrator is adding an appliance into an existing Dell EMC PowerStore T cluster.
What is different about the management network configuration for the new appliance compared to configuring an initial appliance for the cluster?

Answer options

• 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
• D. All the needed management IP addresses for the new appliance are auto-generated by the cluster

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when adding a new appliance to the cluster, the management IP addresses are automatically generated, simplifying the configuration process. Options A and B are incorrect as they imply manual configuration or requirements that are not necessary for additional appliances. Option C is also wrong because the new appliance does not inherit IPs but instead receives them from the cluster's auto-generation process.
