Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, VMAX All Flash and PowerMax — Question 13

You are configuring a NetWorker with Cloud Boost solution using ECS as LTR backup. When adding the CloudBoost appliance in the Dell EMC Cloud Portal, the configuration fails and shows the following error:
Operation Completed with errors. Could not apply initial configuration. Reason: Validation failed; cloud profile is invalid.
What is causing this error?

Answer options

• A. Claim code is invalid when registering the CloudBoost appliance
• B. ECS object access S3 password does not match ECS access key
• C. Display name is set incorrectly for the ECS Cloud Profile
• D. Neither port number 9020 nor 9021 is included in the ECS endpoint

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the ECS endpoint must have the appropriate ports open for communication. If neither port 9020 nor 9021 is specified, the connection cannot be established, leading to a validation failure. The other options relate to issues that would not directly cause the configuration error described in the question.
