Dell EMC D-XTR-DY-A-24 Exam - Topic 4 Question 32 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-XTR-DY-A-24 exam

[All D-XTR-DY-A-24 Questions]

What is the total number of power connectors that must be available in a customer rack for an XtremIO X2 dual X-Brick cluster configuration without a physical XMS installed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

For an XtremIO X2 dual X-Brick cluster configuration without a physical XMS installed, the total number of power connectors required in a customer rack is 8. This is based on the system specifications which state that a 2 Brick Cluster requires 16 x IEC C14 power sockets1. Since the physical XMS would typically require additional power sockets, and it is not included in this configuration, the total number of power connectors needed would be less than the specified 16.

Here's the breakdown:

Each X-Brick in a dual X-Brick configuration would require power for its controllers and DAEs.

The InfiniBand switches included in a multi X-Brick system would also require power.

Without the physical XMS, which would normally need its own power connectors, the total comes down to 8 connectors required for the dual X-Brick setup1.

Definitely 16, that's the standard for dual X-Brick.

I thought it was 10? Seems low for a dual cluster.

B) 8 seems like the correct answer to me. That's the number of power connectors required for the configuration.

I’m a bit confused; I thought it was 18 connectors, but that seems high for just a dual setup.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I believe the answer was 8 connectors for a dual X-Brick configuration.

This is the kind of detailed technical question I feel pretty confident about. I'll work through it systematically and double-check my work before submitting the answer.

I'm a bit unsure about the "without a physical XMS installed" part. Does that change the power requirements somehow? Better read that part closely.

Alright, I'm going to sketch out the setup on my scratch paper and count the total number of power connectors required. Gotta make sure I don't miss anything.

It's 16 connectors needed for the XtremIO X2 setup.

I think I remember something about needing a specific number of power connectors for the XtremIO setup, but I’m not entirely sure if it was 10 or 16.

I recall that the total should be 16 connectors, but I might be mixing it up with another configuration.

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. I know an X-Brick has power connectors, and a dual cluster needs two X-Bricks, so that's a good starting point.

Hmm, this seems like a pretty specific question about XtremIO hardware. I'll need to think through the cluster configuration details carefully.
