During a PowerFlex deployment, which steps are required to complete resource discovery?

Question

Options

• AAssign IP addresses to all nodes
• BValidate network connectivity for SDS nodes
• CConfigure storage pools for metadata storage
• DDeploy vSphere for virtualization

• A
  85% (29)
• C
  6% (2)
• D
  9% (3)

Explanation

Resource discovery in a PowerFlex deployment requires assigning IP addresses to all nodes (A) so the system can locate and communicate with each component, and validating network connectivity for SDS (Storage Data Server) nodes (B) to ensure the data path is reachable and functional - both are foundational prerequisites before the PowerFlex Manager can enumerate and register resources.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C (Configure storage pools for metadata storage) is a post-discovery step - you define storage pools after resources have been discovered and registered, not as a prerequisite to finding them.
• D (Deploy vSphere for virtualization) is optional infrastructure for virtualized environments and is completely independent of the PowerFlex resource discovery process itself.

Memory tip: Think of discovery like sending out invitations to a party - you need everyone's address (IP assignment) and you need to confirm the roads are open (network connectivity). You don't decorate the venue (storage pools) or hire entertainment (vSphere) before you even know who's coming.
