A customer has a Dell PowerScale Gen 6 cluster that is using an Ethernet backend. They have Gen 5 nodes and cables from a previous installation. A PowerScale platform engineer is on site. The customer asks the engineer if they can repurpose the Gen 5 equipment on their Gen 6 cluster.
What should the engineer advise the customer?
- A . Gen 5 nodes cannot be joined to a cluster with Gen 6 nodes running an Ethernet backend
- B . Order new cables with the right connectors
- C . Daisy chain the Gen 5 backend by InfiniBand cables, then plug them directly to the Gen 6 primary node
- D . An InfiniBand switch must be paired with the Gen 6 back-end Ethernet switches to allow the Gen 5 nodes to join
A Dell PowerScale platform engineer is connecting to Node 1 for the first time. The customer has provided a KVM for node output and after connecting the VGA and keyboard ports, the engineer powers on the node. During the boot process, the node output freezes and stops scrolling.
What is the cause of the problem?
- A . The boot process was interrupted
- B . The baud rate is set incorrectly
- C . Only a serial connection is allowed
- D . VGA works, but the keyboard does not
A platform engineer is adding three F600 nodes to a Dell PowerScale cluster.
What is a good practice when adding the nodes?
- A . Wait 5 minutes between each additional node.
- B . Manually reboot each node before joining.
- C . Use the isi network output to show progress.
- D . Join new nodes simultaneously.
