Which tasks can be performed using Dynamic Node Addition in PowerFlex? (Choose two)

The correct answer is A. Expand storage capacity C. Increase compute resources. Dynamic Node Addition in PowerFlex allows new nodes to be added to a running cluster without downtime, and each node contributes both its storage drives and its compute hardware (CPU/RAM) to the pool - making A (Expand storage capacity) and C (Increase compute resources) the…

Explanation

Dynamic Node Addition in PowerFlex allows new nodes to be added to a running cluster without downtime, and each node contributes both its storage drives and its compute hardware (CPU/RAM) to the pool - making A (Expand storage capacity) and C (Increase compute resources) the correct answers, since both resources scale out simultaneously when a node joins the cluster.

B (Configure Protection Domains) is a management/logical configuration task performed through the PowerFlex Manager or CLI and is completely independent of adding nodes - Protection Domains define fault-domain groupings, not node membership. D (Enable automatic snapshot creation) is a storage policy and volume-management feature, unrelated to the physical or virtual act of adding nodes to the cluster.

Memory tip: Think of a node as a "full server" - when you plug in a new server, you gain both disk space (storage) and processing power (compute). Dynamic Node Addition does exactly that at cluster scale: one action, two resource gains.
