An administrator wants to configure a shared file system in PowerFlex. What steps should they follow?

Question

Options

• ACreate the shared file system using the GUI
• BAssign the file system to a protection domain
• CConfigure multi-node access permissions
• DValidate compatibility with all nodes in the cluster

• A

• B

• D

Explanation

Configuring a shared file system in PowerFlex requires two core actions: creating the file system through the GUI (A) and configuring multi-node access permissions (C). The GUI provides the primary interface for provisioning the file system with the required parameters (size, name, storage pool), while multi-node access permissions are what make the file system shared - enabling simultaneous access from multiple clients or nodes, which is the defining characteristic of a shared file system.

Option B is incorrect because protection domains in PowerFlex are constructs for grouping Storage Data Servers (SDS) for block storage resilience - they are not a step in creating or assigning a file system. Option D is incorrect because validating compatibility across all cluster nodes is not a standard step in the file system creation workflow; PowerFlex handles cluster-level compatibility at the infrastructure level, not during individual file system provisioning.

Memory tip: Think "Create, then Share" - you first Create the file system (GUI), then configure Shared access (multi-node permissions). The two wrong options (B and D) both sound like backend/infrastructure tasks that happen outside the file system setup process itself.
