Pure Storage Certified FlashArray Implementation Specialist Sample Questions (Q181-Q186):

NEW QUESTION # 181
An Implementation Engineer has completed cabling a DirectFlash Shelf (DFS) to the FlashArray.
Which command should the Implementation Engineer run to verify that the cabling was completed correctly?

A. storage_view.py list
B. purehw list --enclosures
C. storage_view.py enclosures
D. storage_view.py config

Answer: D

Explanation:
Adding an external DirectFlash Shelf (DFS) or a legacy SAS Expansion Shelf to a Pure Storage FlashArray requires precise physical cabling to ensure backend high availability. Because the controllers utilize an active
/active backend topology-where both controllers must maintain redundant loops to every single capacity shelf-a single misplaced cable can cause a severe hardware fault.
Once the physical installation is complete, the Implementation Engineer must definitively validate the topology before handing the array over to production. To do this, they log into the local KVM console or SSH session using the restricted puresetup account. From here, the official Pure Storage post-installation procedure dictates running two specific Python validation scripts: storage_view.py enclosures and storage_view.py config .
While both are used, storage_view.py config is the primary command utilized to map the specific SAS or NVMe-oF (RoCE) port bindings. The script actively polls the physical ports on the rear of the controllers and traces the loops down through the I/O Modules (IOMs) on the shelves. If the cabling is flawless, the CLI will explicitly return: "No errors detected." If a cable is crossed (e.g., Controller 0 plugged into IOM 1 instead of IOM 0), the script will instantly flag the topology mismatch, allowing the engineer to correct it on the spot.

NEW QUESTION # 182
On a FlashArray//XR50R2/3 Fibre Channel (FC) array, what is the default type and placement of the PCIe FC card?

A. 4-port in slot 0
B. 2-port in slot 2
C. 2-port in slot 0

Answer: 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.

NEW QUESTION # 183
After racking a new FlashArray with one data pack, how should DirectFlash modules be installed?

A. Starting in bay 19, right to left.
B. Starting in bay 0, left to right.
C. Starting in bay 4, left to right.
D. Starting in bay 10, left to right.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Understanding the strict physical drive population rules is a fundamental requirement for any Pure Storage Implementation Engineer. The front chassis of a standard 3U FlashArray (such as an //X50 or //X70) contains
20 dedicated capacity drive bays, numbered from 0 to 19.
When installing a new FlashArray that has been ordered with a single, baseline data pack-which always consists of exactly 10 DirectFlash Modules (DFMs) or DFMDs-the physical insertion order is not arbitrary.
The official hardware installation guidelines dictate that these 10 drives must be populated sequentially starting in bay 0, from left to right .
By filling bays 0 through 9 continuously, the engineer ensures that the Purity operating system can logically group the physical media into a contiguous, balanced Wide Write Group (WWG) for optimal parity calculation and wear leveling. Leaving gaps between the drives, or starting the installation in the higher- numbered bays (such as bay 10 or bay 19), violates the tested physical airflow characteristics of the chassis and will trigger hardware topology alerts during the hardware_check.py validation phase of the array initialization. If a second data pack is ever purchased for capacity expansion, those subsequent 10 drives would then seamlessly populate bays 10 through 19, again from left to right, completing the primary chassis.

NEW QUESTION # 184
Before starting the HWNDU, the Implementation Engineer discovers that DirectFlash Shelf SH9 is incorrectly cabled to CT0.
What should the Implementation Engineer do?

A. Fix the cabling during the CT0 replacement.
B. Disconnect the shelf immediately to prevent data corruption.
C. Proceed with the HWNDU and fix the cable after the upgrade.
D. Reschedule the HWNDU until a plan to fix the cabling is ready.

Answer: A

Explanation:
During the preparatory phases of a FlashArray Hardware Non-Disruptive Upgrade (HWNDU), validating physical connectivity is a strict prerequisite. If an Implementation Engineer discovers that a DirectFlash Shelf (like SH9) is incorrectly cabled to CT0, the safest and most efficient remediation is to correct the cabling precisely during the physical replacement of that specific controller.
Option A (proceeding and fixing it after) is perilous because leaving the improper cabling in place could compromise backend redundancy when the partner controller assumes the full I/O load, potentially leading to a multi-pathing failure or data unavailability event during the NDU. Option B (rescheduling the entire upgrade) is an unnecessary overreaction that wastes time and resources, as the upgrade procedure itself provides the perfect window for correction.
When the Implementation Engineer initiates the failover and successfully takes CT0 offline to swap the hardware, all active I/O is safely routed through CT1. Because CT0 is completely powered down and physically isolated from the data path at this stage, the engineer can safely disconnect the miswired SAS or NVMe-oF cables and re-cable them correctly into the new CT0 hardware according to the official Pure Storage cabling matrix. This method ensures maximum redundancy is restored the moment the new controller boots, seamlessly resolving the issue without introducing any additional maintenance windows or risks.

NEW QUESTION # 185
A customer has a DirectFlash Shelf installed on a FlashArray//X90R4. The 208V rack PDUs are full, but there are five 120V connections available at the top of the rack. What should the Implementation Engineer understand about powering the DirectFlash Shelf in this scenario?

A. The shelf can be fully supported by 120V for the duration of its service life.
B. The shelf can operate temporarily on 120V, but 208/240V should be used as soon as it's available.
C. The Shelf requires at least 180V to operate and Will NOT power on With 120V.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Pure Storage DirectFlash Shelves (DFS) are designed with high-efficiency, enterprise-grade power supply units (PSUs). These PSUs are "auto-ranging," meaning they can accept a wide range of input voltages, typically from roughly 90V to 264V AC.
While data centers often prefer 208V-240V power sources for better efficiency (less heat loss and lower amperage draw for the same wattage), the hardware is fully validated and supported to operate on standard 110V/120V circuits. There is no "temporary only" restriction or hardware lockout that prevents operation on 120V.
Therefore, if the customer's high-voltage PDUs are full, the Implementation Engineer can safely connect the DirectFlash Shelf to the available 120V outlets. The shelf will function normally, provided the circuit has sufficient amperage capacity (amps) to handle the slightly higher current draw that results from using a lower voltage. This configuration is supported for the entire service life of the shelf.
