Which command is used to initiate a Storage Controller power supply replacement for XtremlO cluster ABC123?
Answer : B
To replace a power supply unit (PSU) in a storage controller of an XtremIO cluster, a specific command needs to be executed.
The correct command to initiate this process is replace-storage-controller-psu sc-psu-id=1 cluster-id='ABC123'.
This command specifies the action to replace the PSU (replace-storage-controller-psu), the PSU ID (sc-psu-id=1), and the specific cluster ID (cluster-id='ABC123').
Using this command ensures that the correct PSU in the specified cluster is prepared for replacement.
How many expansions are required to expand a Starter X-Brick cluster to an eight X-Brick cluster?
Answer : D
To expand a Starter X-Brick cluster (which typically begins with one X-Brick) to an eight X-Brick cluster, a total of three expansions are required. Each expansion step in XtremIO can typically double the number of X-Bricks, thus:
First expansion: From 1 X-Brick to 2 X-Bricks.
Second expansion: From 2 X-Bricks to 4 X-Bricks.
Third expansion: From 4 X-Bricks to 8 X-Bricks.
This sequence ensures that the storage array scales properly, maintaining performance and redundancy.
In an XtremIO X2, what is the maximum number of lifetime cycles for NVRAM?
Answer : D
In an XtremIO X2 system, the maximum number of lifetime cycles for NVRAM is 10,000. This number represents the total count of write and erase cycles the NVRAM can endure throughout its lifespan, ensuring data integrity and reliability over time.
How much rack space is required for a four X-Brick XtremIO X2 cluster with a physical XMS?
Answer : B
XtremIO X2 clusters are designed for efficient space utilization in data center racks.
A four X-Brick XtremIO X2 cluster requires specific rack space allocation.
Each X-Brick occupies 5U of rack space. Therefore, four X-Bricks would require 20U.
Additionally, the physical XtremIO Management Server (XMS) occupies 1U of rack space.
In total, the four X-Brick XtremIO X2 cluster with a physical XMS requires 21U of rack space.
Where can the XtremlO power requirements be found?
Answer : C
The XtremIO Storage Array Site Preparation Guide contains the power requirements for the XtremIO system. This guide includes detailed specifications for power consumption, electrical requirements, and other environmental factors necessary for proper installation and operation.
Refer to the exhibit.

Based on the exhibit, which rows of drives are used for DPG-2 in an XtremIO-X2
DAE?
Answer : B
In Dell XtremIO X2 arrays, the Disk Protection Groups (DPGs) are organized in such a way that each DPG spans multiple rows of drives. Specifically, DPG-2 in an XtremIO-X2 DAE (Disk Array Enclosure) uses the drives in Row 1 and Row 2. This configuration is designed to ensure redundancy and fault tolerance. The drives in these rows collectively form the DPG, which is responsible for data protection and performance optimization.
Which port should SC1-IB1 be connected to in a single X-Brick XtremIO X2?
Answer : A
In a single X-Brick XtremIO X2 configuration, the port SC1-IB1 should be connected to IBSW1-P01. This connection ensures proper communication and data flow between the storage controller and the InfiniBand switch, which is critical for system performance and redundancy.
