What are the IP requirements for the management network during initial Configuration wizard for a PowerStore cluster?

Question

Options

• APowerStore T requires four IP addresses, and PowerStore X requires six IP addresses
• BPowerStore T requires three IP addresses, and PowerStore X requires five IP addresses
• CPowerStore T requires four IP addresses, and PowerStore X requires five IP addresses
• DPowerStore T requires three IP addresses, and PowerStore X requires six IP addresses

• A
  90% (35)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  5% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because during the PowerStore Initial Configuration Wizard, the PowerStore T model requires four management IP addresses (two node IPs, one cluster management IP, and one appliance IP), while the PowerStore X model requires six management IPs - the same four as T, plus two additional IPs for its integrated ESXi hypervisor nodes.

Options B and D are wrong because neither model uses only three IPs; three is insufficient to address both nodes and the cluster management interface. Option C is wrong because it misassigns the counts - five IPs belong to neither model; PowerStore X specifically needs six due to its hypervisor layer, not five.

Memory tip: Think "X = eXtra" - PowerStore X has eXtra complexity (built-in VMware hypervisor), so it gets eXtra IPs (6 vs. 4). The two extra IPs cover the ESXi management interfaces that PowerStore T simply doesn't have.
