FlashArray-Implementation-Specialist Exam Dumps - Pure Storage FAIS Questions and Answers

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

A swing shelf is installed during the SAS to NVMe Evergreen XFORM upgrade only if the array lacks enough free capacity to evacuate data packs, enabling safe data migration during transformation.

The command purealert untag --maintenance removes the maintenance tag after a hardware upgrade, signaling the system that maintenance mode has ended.

The proper and safe method to power cycle a FlashArray is to run the purearray reboot command, which gracefully restarts the system without risking data integrity or hardware issues.

FlashArray//XL arrays require four power cables with C19 (receptacle) to C20 (plug) connectors to connect properly to rack PDUs, supporting redundant power supplies and higher power demands.

The command purehw list --enclosures displays detailed information about shelf enclosures and their cable connections, helping verify physical connectivity.

Upgrading from FlashArray X10 to X50 requires upgrading power supplies to meet the higher power demands of the larger chassis and expanded hardware.

FlashArray//XCR4 arrays are shipped with 32Gb Fibre Channel (FC) SFPs by default. These 32Gb FC SFPs are capable of supporting 64Gb speeds, which can be enabled via a firmware upgrade. This allows the array to leverage higher-speed FC connections as needed.

Fibre Channel (FC) I/O cards are compatible across all FlashArray models, providing consistent SAN connectivity regardless of array generation.

When installing the first DirectFlash Shelf on a FlashArray//XR2/3, mezzanine ports ETH6 and ETH9 on the controllers are used for connectivity.
