Explanation

Option B is correct because the PowerStore Discovery Utility communicates over the Management network to detect and identify unconfigured appliances - this is the network layer exposed for administrative access, making it the logical choice for discovery and initial configuration tasks.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (IDN - Infrastructure Data Network): This network handles internal storage I/O traffic between nodes, not appliance discovery.
  • C (ICM - Internal Control Module): ICM refers to an internal component/interface, not a discoverable network used by the utility.
  • D (Internal): The internal network is used for node-to-node cluster communication and is not externally accessible for discovery purposes.

Memory tip: Think "Management = Meet the appliance first" - before you can configure anything, you need to meet (discover) it, and that handshake always happens on the Management network.
