Pure Storage FlashArray-Implementation-Specialist Dumps

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

For SMTP settings during array initialization, the host should be specified without the port number; including “:587” can cause connection issues and prevent successful initialization.

Drive relocation should be performed only after the XFORM upgrade completes to avoid disrupting the upgrade process and ensure data integrity.

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.

iSCSI cards can be reused when upgrading from XR2 to XR3 controllers, supporting hardware continuity within this upgrade path.

Installing four DirectFlash Modules in a 9.1 TB Conversion Kit is intended to widen an existing write group, improving performance and capacity distribution within the FlashArray.

FlashArray//XL power supply units (PSUs) are designed with 2+2 redundancy, meaning there are four PSUs where any two can fail without impacting array operation.

Customers can independently upgrade Purity using the Self-Service upgrade portal on Pure1 Manage, enabling them to proceed without waiting for support scheduling.

When replacing SAS chassis data packs with DirectFlash Modules (DFMs) after an upgrade to //X20R3-EMEZZ, a DFM Swing Shelf is required to facilitate data evacuation and migration during the transition.

The customer’s completion sign-off is required to confirm that the installation meets their expectations and requirements before the engineer leaves the site.

Cage nuts should be placed in the lowest square hole of the lowest rack unit (RU) where the array rails will be installed to ensure proper alignment and support.

The command purenetwork list --ntpserver displays the configured NTP servers on the FlashArray network settings.

On FlashArray//XL, PCIe slots 0 and 6 are designated for DirectFlash Shelf (DFS) connectivity to optimize data throughput and redundancy.

To properly configure the proxy server, both the protocol prefix (e.g., or and the port number are required along with the IP address.

The installation process begins with configuring controller 0 (CT0) first, as it is the primary controller responsible for initial system setup.

FC cards from an M-series array can be reused in XR2 or XR3 controllers, allowing hardware continuity during controller upgrades.

Running cobalt_check.py on a new //XR4 array verifies hardware and system readiness before executing puresetup newarray, ensuring a smooth setup process.

The command purearray phonehome --send-logs is used to send all Phonehome logs to support upon completion of an upgrade.

The Ethernet mezzanine on FlashArray//XR2/3 is assigned interfaces starting at ETH8 through ETH11, reflecting the numbering scheme for additional Ethernet ports beyond the base interfaces.

Waiting 10 minutes after running puredb run giveback --safe ensures the system completes safe resource rebalancing and stabilizes before proceeding with the next controller upgrade step.

The FlashArray//XL models are designed to fit into a 5U rack space, which is equivalent to 5 rack units. Each rack unit (U) is 1.75 inches in height, so a 5U chassis would be 8.75 inches tall. However, the FlashArray//XL chassis is designed to be 5U in height, providing a compact and efficient form factor for enterprise storage needs.

The purearray remoteassist --connect command explicitly enables Support to establish a remote connection to the array for troubleshooting or assistance.
