Question

A storage administrator is configuring an import session from a VNX2 for Windows host data. The administrator inputs the SPA IP address into the Add Remote System configuration. The administrator then checks the Verify Alternate Address option for the User Authentication configuration. What does this action provide?

Options

  • ASelects the PowerStore Global Storage Discovery IP
  • BGenerates a duplicate of the SPA RSA key for the SPB HTTPS certificate
  • CValidates the SPB IP address and certificate for high availability

Explanation

Checking "Verify Alternate Address" confirms that the SPB's IP address is reachable and that its HTTPS certificate is valid, ensuring the import session remains functional if SPA becomes unavailable - this is the high-availability safeguard built into the remote system configuration. Option A is wrong because Global Storage Discovery IP is a PowerStore-side networking concept unrelated to verifying a VNX2's alternate SP address. Option B is wrong because no RSA key duplication occurs; the system validates an existing certificate rather than generating or copying one. For exam retention, think of it this way: you enter SPA's address, so the alternate address must be SPB - "Verify Alternate" = "trust SPB too," which is exactly what HA requires.
