Dell EMC D-XTR-DY-A-24 Exam - Topic 4 Question 16 Discussion

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

Question #: 16
Topic #: 4

A systems administrator is powering up a XtremIO X2 multi X-Brick cluster. Which components will automatically power-up when the rack PDUs are turned on?

ADAEs and InfiniBand switches

BInfiniBand switches and physical XMS

CStorage Controllers and InfiniBand switches

DDAEs and Storage Controllers

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

When powering up an XtremIO X2 multi X-Brick cluster, both the Disk Array Enclosures (DAEs) and the Storage Controllers will automatically power up once the rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) are turned on. This process ensures that the essential components for storage and data management are operational immediately, facilitating a seamless startup of the storage environment. The DAEs contain the SSDs for data storage, while the Storage Controllers manage the data operations, ensuring high performance and reliability.

Dell EMC XtremIO X2 documentation explains that upon powering the PDUs, the DAEs and Storage Controllers automatically power up as part of the system's startup process

Pretty sure it's the InfiniBand switches and physical XMS.

I’m leaning towards option C because I recall that the Storage Controllers and InfiniBand switches are essential for the cluster's operation, but I could be wrong.

I practiced a similar question where the focus was on the XMS and switches, but I feel like I might be mixing up the components here.

I think the Storage Controllers are definitely part of the power-up sequence, but I can't recall if the DAEs come on at the same time.

I remember something about the InfiniBand switches being crucial for communication, but I'm not sure if they power up automatically with the PDUs.

Okay, I've got this. The key is that the question is asking about automatic power-up, not manual. So the answer has to be either A or C, since the DAEs and InfiniBand switches are likely designed to automatically power on when the rack PDUs are turned on. I'm going to go with C, Storage Controllers and InfiniBand switches.

Alright, let me break this down. The question is asking which components automatically power up, so that rules out the physical XMS since that's likely a manual process. I'm leaning towards either A or C, but I'll have to double-check the XtremIO X2 architecture to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the XtremIO X2 has DAEs, InfiniBand switches, and Storage Controllers, but I'm not sure which ones automatically power up when the rack PDUs are turned on. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think I know this one - the key is understanding the components of the XtremIO X2 cluster. I'm pretty sure the correct answer is C, Storage Controllers and InfiniBand switches.

Option D sounds like the most logical choice. The DAEs and Storage Controllers are the heart of the XtremIO cluster, so they should be the first to power-up.

Haha, I bet the correct answer is A. Who needs the storage when you can just power-up the DAEs and the InfiniBand switches and call it a day?
