Answer : C

Answer : B, D

Answer : A

To properly discover a Dell PowerStore appliance using the Discovery Utility, you need to ensure that the following ports are open: TCP/UDP 5353: This port is used for mDNS (Multicast DNS) which is the protocol used by the PowerStore Discovery Utility to locate unconfigured PowerStore appliances. mDNS is essential for the appliance discovery process. (Grok 2)

mDNS (Multicast DNS): PowerStore uses mDNS for discovery, especially when the array is unconfigured. mDNS allows devices to discover each other on a local network without needing a pre-configured DNS server. This is essential for the initial setup and discovery of a new PowerStore system.

Port 5353: This is the standard port used for mDNS communication. Both TCP and UDP port 5353 need to be open for mDNS to function correctly.

B . Servers that are joined to Active Directory:

DNS is required for resolving domain controllers' names when NAS servers are joined to an Active Directory domain. Proper DNS support ensures seamless integration and authentication within the domain.

D . Servers that are used for Multiprotocol access:

Multiprotocol access allows both SMB (CIFS) and NFS clients to access the same NAS server. DNS is essential for name resolution, especially in environments where SMB relies on domain-based configurations.
