A customer must configure two PowerStore clusters with these requirements: - Two PowerStore T appliances in each cluster. - Configure file replication between the clusters. What is the minimum…

Question

Options

• A06 IPs on source and target
• B10 IPs on source and target
• C09 IPs on source and target
• D07 IPs on source and target

• A
  14% (3)
• B
  19% (4)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  62% (13)

Explanation

Option D (7 IPs) is correct because each PowerStore T appliance has two nodes, each requiring its own management IP, plus one virtual/floating IP per appliance for management access - that's 3 IPs per appliance. With two appliances per cluster, you have 6 IPs, plus one additional cluster-level virtual IP, totaling 7 management subnet IPs per site.

Option A (6) is wrong because it likely omits the cluster-level virtual IP, accounting only for the per-node and per-appliance IPs. Option C (9) and Option B (10) over-count by adding unnecessary IPs - file replication is configured at the replication session/interface level and does not require additional management subnet IPs beyond the baseline 7.

Memory tip: Use the formula (2 nodes + 1 appliance VIP) × 2 appliances + 1 cluster VIP = 7. Think of it as "3 per appliance, times 2, plus 1 for the cluster" - the "+1 cluster" is the easy one to forget, and forgetting it leads you to the wrong answer of 6.
