D-PST-DS-00 Exam Preparation Material | Dell PowerStore Design

Prepare for the D-PST-DS-00 with reliable study materials, practice questions, and key exam insights.

Prepare for the D-PST-DS-00 Dell PowerStore Design exam with CertQueen's independently developed study resources. Review important concepts, practice scenario-based questions, and use clear explanations to identify areas that require further study.

Question#1

A customer is designing a multisite PowerStore deployment for their enterprise and wants to tightly control all software that is installed on their storage infrastructure. During the design workshop, their Security Architect asks who has authority over the master GPG key that signs PowerStore software images before they are made available for download and upgrade .
Who controls the master GPG key used to sign PowerStore software packages?

A. RSA GPG
B. The customer
C. Dell
D. PowerStore

Question#2

From a Storage Architect's perspective, which key principle makes Dell PowerStore flexible enough to adapt to changing technologies and workloads over time?

A. Two-Tier System Architecture
B. Hardware-Centric Design
C. Software-Driven Architecture
D. Static Partitioning

Question#3

A PowerStore cluster is running multiple latency-sensitive workloads .
Recently, the customer requires:
✑ Internal cluster migrations are triggered frequently due to capacity-balancing policies.
✑ Peak business-hour I/O demand has increased by 40%.
✑ The cluster’s migration operations are consuming noticeable CPU cycles on both source and destination appliances.
✑ SLAs require minimizing additional latency during all maintenance or balancing activities.
The Storage Architect must recommend a design approach that reduces operational impact while ensuring that application performance remains unaffected during internal data movement.
Which recommendation meets these requirements?

A. Scheduling the internal migration activities during lower workload periods
B. Rebooting the migration destination appliance to clear performance issues
C. Increasing the internal migration thread settings to accelerate data movement
D. Disabling data-reduction services on the source to reduce processing load

Question#4

A storage team is implementing user roles to restrict access to certain functions within PowerStore Manager.
Which role is most appropriate to allow the user to perform day-to-day storage activity and prevent user account modification?

A. Storage Administrator
B. Device Management
C. Administrator
D. Operator

Question#5

A customer has a single PowerStore 5200T appliance running mixed block workloads over iSCSI. After a new analytics application is deployed, performance testing shows that the existing appliance cannot meet the new IOPS and latency requirements, even though there is still free capacity available.
Which design approach is most appropriate to meet the new performance requirement while minimizing configuration changes?

A. Considering changing the front-end protocol to something more performant like Fibre Channel.
B. Add an additional appliance to the cluster and redistribute performance-sensitive workloads across the appliances.
C. Add at least two additional NVRAM drives, thereby increasing the amount of cache in the existing appliance.
D. Add additional NVMe drives to the existing appliance and redistribute performance-sensitive workloads across storage pools.
