An Implementation Engineer is performing a capacity consolidation on an X50R3.
Which command is needed for the engineer to determine whether the customer's FlashArray supports SAS Flash Modules?

  1. puredrive list --total --type controller
  2. purehw list --type controller --all
  3. purehw list --type drive --all

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This command reports every installed drive module, identifying SAS Flash Modules if present, whereas the other commands do not enumerate individual drive types.



On a FlashArray//XR50R2/3 Fibre Channel (FC) array, what is the default type and placement of the PCIe FC card?

  1. 2-port in slot 0
  2. 2-port in slot 2
  3. 4-port in slot 0

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

On an X50R2/3 FC array, Pure ships each controller with a factory-installed dual-port 32 Gb Fibre Channel card in the PCIe slot numbered 2, providing out-of-the-box SAN connectivity.



A data pack has been installed and the puredrive list command shows the drives in "unadmitted" status.
Which command should be used to complete the admission?

  1. puredrive add
  2. puredrive admit
  3. purearray drive admit
