A system administrator must assign six of the MX5016s drives to a single MX750c compute node. Which assignment mode accomplishes this task?

Question

Options

• AMultiple-assigned storage configuration
• BDrive-assigned storage configuration
• CPERC-assigned storage configuration
• DEnclosure-assigned storage configuration

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  95% (36)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Drive-assigned storage configuration allows an administrator to assign specific individual drives-exactly six in this case-to a single compute node like the MX750c, providing granular, per-drive control over storage allocation within the MX5016s sled.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Multiple-assigned - designed to share drives across multiple compute nodes simultaneously, which is the opposite of dedicating drives to a single node
• C. PERC-assigned - storage ownership is managed at the RAID controller level, not by selecting a precise count of individual drives for one node
• D. Enclosure-assigned - assigns all drives in the entire MX5016s enclosure to compute nodes as a unit, so you cannot isolate just six of the sixteen available drives

Memory tip: Think "Drive-assigned = Drill-down control." When the task requires a specific number of drives going to one node, you need the most granular assignment mode-drive level. Any mode with a broader scope (enclosure, controller, multiple nodes) won't let you pick exactly six.
