A Storage Administrator has an existing single appliance Dell PowerStore 3000T cluster. An additional PowerStore 9000T has been purchased to add into the existing cluster.How does the administrator proceed?
A) Additional VLTi links on the ToR switching must be configured for the 9000T to support the increased inter-switch network load
B) Add the new 9000T appliance into the cluster per the procedure; mixed models of the same type are supported
C) Remove two of the four NVMe NVRAM drives from the 9000T the caching configuration of all clustered appliances must match
D) The new appliance cannot be added to the cluster; appliance model and type must match when clustering appliances together

Yeah, I feel confident about B too. It’s the best approach here.

Option D seems wrong. We can definitely cluster different models.

True, but B is more about the procedure. We can handle links later.

Option B) is the way to go. Keep it simple, just add the new appliance and let the cluster handle the rest.

C) is just weird. Why would I need to remove drives from the new appliance? That doesn't make any sense.

D) can't be right. I'm pretty sure mixed models are supported in the same cluster.

B) is the correct answer. The administrator can simply add the new 9000T appliance into the existing cluster per the procedure.

I’m pretty sure D is incorrect because I remember discussing how different models can work together, so that rules it out for me.

I feel like I read that the caching configuration needs to match, which makes me lean towards C, but it seems a bit extreme to remove drives.

I recall something about needing to configure additional links for load balancing, so A could be a consideration, but I don't think it's the main step.

I'm a little unsure about option A. The question mentions something about increased inter-switch network load, but I'm not sure if that's something we need to worry about in this case. I'll have to think about that one a bit more.

I'm leaning towards option B as well. The question seems to be pretty straightforward, and the instructions say that mixed models of the same type are supported, so I don't think we need to do anything special to add the new appliance.

Okay, I'm pretty confident that option C is not correct. The question says the caching configuration of all clustered appliances must match, so removing drives from the 9000T doesn't seem like the right solution.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. The question mentions something about configuring VLTi links on the ToR switching, but I'm not sure what that means. I'll have to look that up before I can decide on the best approach.
