Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerProtect DD — Question 36

An engineer is deploying two PowerProtect DD6900 systems in an HA pair. The installation includes ES40, DS60, and FS25 expansion shelves.
What consideration should be made when cabling the hardware?

Answer options

• A. The FS25 shelf must be fully populated
• B. The FS25 shelf should be cabled on a separate chain
• C. The DS60 shelf should be cabled on a separate chain
• D. The DS60 shelf must be populated with identical drives

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because for optimal performance and compatibility, the DS60 shelf requires identical drives. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not address the necessary requirements for the drives in the DS60 shelf, which is crucial for ensuring the reliability of the HA configuration.
