A PowerStore solution must support hosts using 100 Gb/s Eth connectivity and hosts using 16 Gb/s FC connectivity. How should the I/O Modules be populated according to Dell Best Practices?

Question

Options

• A100 Gb/s Eth I/O Module in Slot 0 and 16 Gb/s FC I/O Module in Slot 1
• B100 Gb/s Eth I/O Module in Slot 1 and 16 Gb/s FC I/O Module in Slot 0
• C100 Gb/s Eth and 16 Gb/s FC I/O Modules can be placed into any Slot

• A
  69% (18)
• B
  12% (3)
• C
  19% (5)

Explanation

According to Dell best practices for PowerStore solutions, when supporting hosts that use both 100 Gb/s Ethernet (Eth) connectivity and 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity, the I/O modules should be populated as follows: Slot 0: Install the 100 Gb/s Ethernet I/O module. This ensures that the high-speed Ethernet connections are handled by the first slot, which is typically prioritized for network connectivity. Slot 1: Install the 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel I/O module. This setup leverages the capabilities of the second slot to manage Fibre Channel traffic efficiently. This configuration ensures optimal performance and adherence to best practices, providing a balanced distribution of network and storage connectivity within the PowerStore system.
