What describes Dell EMC PowerStore X front-end cabling?
- A . Uses internal VMware virtual switching and does not require a management network
- B . Storage and management use the same LACP bonded cable connection
- C . Uses VLTi data switch interconnectivity to support vMotion networks
- D . Management and discovery use the same cables and connections as storage
D
Explanation:
"For PowerStore T model appliances, the individual ports within the system bond could be running in active/active mode or active/passive mode. This state depends on whether Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) has been configured on the network switches. To ensure best resiliency and network performance, it is recommended to enable LACP on the network. For more information about configuring LACP for a PowerStore T model appliance, see the document PowerStore Guide for PowerStore T Models on the PowerStore Info Hub. For PowerStore X model appliances, there is no system bond and no LACP configuration is needed because the link aggregation and failover is handled by the virtual switches within the VMware hypervisor.
