Dell EMC D-PST-DY-23 Exam - Topic 3 Question 26 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-PST-DY-23 exam

Question #: 26
Topic #: 3

A PowerStore appliance is running out of storage capacity. The cluster consists of a PowerStore 5000T appliance with three NVMe expansion enclosures.

How can this issue be resolved?

AAdd additional SAS expansion enclosures.

BAdd an additional PowerStore appliance.

CEnable advanced deduplication.

DAdd additional NVMe expansion enclosures.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

PowerStore 5000T and Expansion: The PowerStore 5000T model supports a maximum of three NVMe expansion enclosures. Since the appliance already has three, adding more is not an option.

Scaling Out: To increase capacity in this scenario, you need to scale out by adding another PowerStore appliance to the cluster. This will provide additional storage resources and processing power.

Adding another appliance seems like overkill for this issue.

Definitely not SAS enclosures, that won't help!

I recall that SAS enclosures wouldn't work with NVMe, so option A seems wrong. I think D is the best choice, but I’m a bit unsure.

Adding another PowerStore appliance sounds like a big solution, but I feel like it might be overkill for just running out of capacity.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about deduplication helping with storage issues. Maybe enabling advanced deduplication could free up some space?

I think adding additional NVMe expansion enclosures could be the right move since the current setup already uses NVMe.

Adding an additional PowerStore appliance seems like overkill for just running out of storage capacity. I'm going to go with option D and add more NVMe expansion enclosures.

I'm a bit confused. The question mentions SAS expansion enclosures, but none of the answers talk about that. I'll have to double-check my understanding of the PowerStore architecture.

Okay, I've got this. The question says the cluster already has NVMe expansion enclosures, so the answer must be to add more of those. Option D is the way to go.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Maybe I should review the PowerStore documentation again.

D) Add additional NVMe expansion enclosures. This is a no-brainer. Unless, of course, you're a fan of running out of space and living on the edge.

D) Add additional NVMe expansion enclosures. Bingo! It's like adding more storage space to your fridge - you don't want to buy a whole new fridge, do you?

C) Enable advanced deduplication. Really? That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. This is a capacity issue, not a data optimization one.
