NEW QUESTION # 11
For FlashArray//XL, which PCIe card slot is reserved for control upgrades?
Answer: C
Explanation:
On the FlashArray//XL, PCIe Slot 5 is explicitly reserved for Non-Disruptive Upgrade (NDU) procedures and specific control plane functions.
The FlashArray//XL chassis (5U) features a redesigned controller layout with 9 PCIe slots per controller (numbered 0-8). While slots 0-3 and 6-8 are generally available for Host I/O (FC/iSCSI) or Backend Expansion (SAS/NVMe-oF), Slot 5 is kept open or populated with specific interconnect cards used during controller upgrades.
During a "Data-in-Place" upgrade (e.g., moving from an //X to an //XL or upgrading //XL generations), this slot facilitates the high-speed link required to cluster the old and new controllers or to transfer state information. Implementation Engineers must ensure this slot is not populated with standard customer I/O cards (like FC HBAs) during the initial configuration, as doing so would block the ability to perform future non-disruptive hardware upgrades.
NEW QUESTION # 12
Which PCI cards must be validated on the Bill of Materials (BOM) to allow an Implementation Engineer to attach a DirectFlash Shelf to a FlashArray//XL130R5?
Answer: C
Explanation:
The FlashArray//XL series (such as the XL130R5) utilizes a modern backend connectivity architecture for its expansion shelves, specifically the DirectFlash Shelf (DFS). Unlike older generations that might have used SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) for shelf connectivity, the //XL architecture relies on high-speed Ethernet with RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) to communicate with external media shelves. This ensures that the NVMe drives in the shelf perform with the same low latency as those in the head unit.
To attach a DirectFlash Shelf to a FlashArray//XL130R5, the chassis must be populated with specific PCIe interface cards designated for shelf back-end connectivity. The correct part for this is the FA-XL-100G Ethernet/RoCE 2-Port card. This card provides the necessary 100 Gigabit Ethernet bandwidth and RoCE protocol support required for the NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabrics) backend fabric that Pure Storage uses.
It is crucial to distinguish this from host-facing cards. While an "iSCSI/RoCE" card exists, the shelf connectivity specifically utilizes the "Ethernet/RoCE" designation in the BOM to differentiate backend fabric ports from frontend host ports. The 200G options are generally reserved for host connectivity or inter-array clustering in specific high-performance setups, but the standard validated card for connecting the DFS to the
//XL130R5 is the 100G Ethernet/RoCE adapter. Verifying this line item on the BOM prevents onsite delays where the engineer might otherwise find themselves with incompatible ports for the expansion shelves.
NEW QUESTION # 13
Before proceeding with a controller upgrade, phonehome logs must be sent. What command will verify that the logs have been sent?
Answer: C
Explanation:
To verify the history and transmission status of Phonehome log bundles, the correct command is purearray phonehome --list .
Before starting a controller upgrade (NDU), it is mandatory to ensure that the array can successfully transmit diagnostic data to Pure Storage. This allows Support to review the "pre-flight" checks and ensures that if an issue occurs during the upgrade, logs will be available for triage.
* Usage: Running purearray phonehome --list displays a table of recent log bundles generated by the system.
* Verification: The Engineer must look at the Status column for the most recent entries. A status of
"uploaded" confirms that the array has successfully connected to the Pure Storage cloud and transferred the data. If the status is "queued" or "failed," the upgrade should not proceed until network connectivity (firewall/proxy) is resolved. Options A and C are incorrect CLI syntax for this specific verification task.
NEW QUESTION # 14
Refer to the exhibit.
During the puresetup portion of the new controller setup of an NDU, the Implementation Engineer gets an error message regarding missing or unassigned network interfaces.
What action should the Implementation Engineer take next?
Answer: A
Explanation:
During a cross-generational Hardware Non-Disruptive Upgrade (HWNDU), such as migrating from a FlashArray//XR3 to an //XR4, the physical network port layout changes significantly. Older controllers often utilized integrated onboard ports (like eth2 and eth3) for Replication or iSCSI. In newer architectures, these services are shifted to dedicated OCP mezzanine cards or PCIe expansion slots, which may enumerate differently within the operating system.
When the Implementation Engineer runs the puresetup script to initialize the newly inserted controller, the software attempts to validate the legacy network configuration against the new physical hardware topology. If it cannot find the exact physical ports that were mapped on the old controller, puresetup will pause and display an interactive warning or error message indicating that certain network interfaces are missing.
Because this mismatch is an expected architectural consequence of the hardware upgrade, the correct procedure is to acknowledge the warning and continue with the setup process . The engineer must allow the controller to finish its base initialization and join the cluster quorum. Once the new controller is online and functioning as a secondary node, the engineer can log into the Purity CLI or GUI and manually use the purenetwork commands to reassign the affected services (e.g., Replication or iSCSI) to the new, correctly enumerated physical ports before proceeding with the controller failover. Stopping the process or attempting to force the script to accept invalid ports will stall the upgrade.
NEW QUESTION # 15
After racking a new FlashArray with one data pack, how should DirectFlash modules be installed?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Proper airflow and thermal management are critical for the reliability of high-density storage arrays. FlashArray chassis are designed with specific airflow baffles and cooling zones that rely on the drive bays being populated in a specific order.
When installing a new FlashArray with a single data pack (typically 10 drives), the Implementation Engineer must install the DirectFlash Modules starting in bay 0, filling from left to right.
Bay 0 is typically the leftmost slot (when facing the front of the array).
Filling slots 0-9 ensures that the first "cooling zone" is properly pressurized, forcing air through the populated modules and the chassis midplane correctly.
Leaving gaps (e.g., installing in slots 10-19 while 0-9 are empty) can disrupt the airflow path, potentially leading to hotspots or inefficient cooling for the controllers behind the backplane.
Additionally, the software enumeration of drives often expects contiguous population starting from the lowest index for logical clarity, though cooling is the primary physical constraint.
