For a Dell EMC PowerStore X implementation, a minimum of six IP addresses are required for the storage network. This is to accommodate the various components that need network connectivity within the PowerStore infrastructure1.
The allocation of these IP addresses typically includes:
•Two IP addresses for the storage processors or nodes within the PowerStore appliance.
•Two IP addresses for the management interfaces.
•Two additional IP addresses for redundancy or other network services.
It’s important to plan the network configuration carefully to ensure that there are enough IP addresses available for all required services and for future expansion. For optimization and best practices in IP address allocation, administrators should refer to the Dell EMC PowerStore Networking Guide for Storage Services2. This guide provides detailed information on network requirements, including IP address allocation and network design considerations for PowerStore systems.
Question # 18
Which LED combination shows a connected and working node?
The LED combination that shows a connected and working node ispower LED: steady green fault LED: off.
The power LED on a Dell EMC PowerStore node indicates the power status of the node.
A steady green power LED typically signifies that the node is powered on and operating normally1.
The absence of the fault LED being lit (fault LED: off) indicates that there are no current faults detected with the node1.
This combination of a steady green power LED and no fault LED is the normal operating state for a node and suggests that it is connected and functioning properly1.
For more detailed information on the LED states and what they represent, you can refer to the Dell PowerStore Hardware Information Guide or the Dell Support Knowledge Base1.
