Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Elastic Cloud Storage — Question 78

What is true when scaling out a VxRail cluster?

Answer options

• A. All nodes in the same chassis must be identical for an E Series
• B. A cluster using 1GbE must be NVMe
• C. All-flash NVMe and hybrid nodes cannot be mixed in the same cluster
• D. A cluster using 1GbE networking is limited to a maximum of 10 nodes

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because VxRail architecture does not support mixing all-flash NVMe and hybrid nodes within the same cluster, ensuring compatibility and performance. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not reflect the requirements for scaling out a VxRail cluster. Option D is also incorrect; while there are limits to node counts based on configurations, 1GbE networking does not inherently limit a cluster to 10 nodes.
