Which requirement of a source storage system is invalid when participating in PowerStore Native Import migration?

The correct answer is A. With iSCSI connectivity between source and PowerStore, Global storage IP address is not. Option A is invalid (i.e., incorrect as stated) because when using iSCSI connectivity between a source storage system and PowerStore during a Native Import migration, a Global storage IP address IS required - the statement that it is not needed is false. This makes A the…

Question

Which requirement of a source storage system is invalid when participating in PowerStore Native Import migration?

Options

  • AWith iSCSI connectivity between source and PowerStore, Global storage IP address is not
  • BAdministrator privileges are required on the source and associated hosts to import to a PowerStore
  • CFor EqualLogic, the front-end connectivity must be iSCSI
  • DFor PowerMax or VMAX, the front-end connectivity must be FC

Explanation

Option A is invalid (i.e., incorrect as stated) because when using iSCSI connectivity between a source storage system and PowerStore during a Native Import migration, a Global storage IP address IS required - the statement that it is not needed is false. This makes A the "invalid requirement" the question is hunting for.

Options B, C, and D describe valid, real requirements: administrator privileges on source systems and hosts (B) are genuinely needed to perform the migration; EqualLogic arrays only support iSCSI, so iSCSI front-end connectivity (C) is a legitimate prerequisite; and PowerMax/VMAX systems require FC for front-end connectivity (D) due to their architecture - both are correct conditions for Native Import eligibility.

Memory tip: Think of it as a "spot the lie" question. Three of the four options describe real-world protocol/privilege constraints you'd actually configure. The odd one out (A) contains a negation that flips a true requirement - a classic exam trap. Whenever you see "is not required" in a list of requirements, flag it as the likely invalid entry and verify whether the opposite is actually true.
