Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Elastic Cloud Storage — Question 42

What is a consideration when scaling a VxRail cluster?

Answer options

• A. A maximum of 10 nodes is supported if 1 GbE networking is used
• B. The first two nodes in a standard cluster must be identical
• C. Mixing of all-flash and NVMe nodes is not allowed
• D. Mixing VxRail nodes with different base network speeds is not permitted

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because VxRail clusters do not support the mixing of all-flash and NVMe nodes, which can lead to performance and compatibility issues. Options A and B are related to node limitations and requirements but do not pertain to the mixing of node types, while option D discusses network speed compatibility, which is also important but not the focus of this question.
