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.

But what about option A? More links might be needed for performance.

Agreed! Adding the 9000T should be straightforward.

Definitely B, I've done it before with no issues!

Wait, D can't be right, can it?

C seems off, why remove drives?

I think A is also important for network load.

B is the way to go, mixed models are supported!

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

Haha, I bet the person who wrote option C) has never actually worked with a PowerStore cluster before.

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.
CO

A) sounds like a lot of unnecessary work. Why would I need to configure additional VLTi links just to add a new appliance?
GL
Gladys

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

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.
AR
Artie

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.
YU
Yuriko

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.
JA
Jaclyn

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.
CA

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.

I think option B is the way to go. Mixed models are supported.
DE
Devorah

I think the answer might be B since I remember mixed models can be supported in clusters, but I'm not entirely sure.
PA
Paz

I think option B is the way to go here. The question says that mixed models of the same type are supported, so I don't think we need to worry about the different models.

Option B is the best choice here. Let's get it done!
CO

Definitely, no need to match models. Just follow the procedure.
ST
Stefany

Yeah, adding the 9000T should be straightforward.
RO

I agree, option B seems correct. Mixed models are allowed.
