Answers
D.

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

To obtain the external IP address of a specific node in a Dell EMC PowerScale cluster, the platform engineer can use commands that provide detailed node information.

Using 'isi status -q':

Function:

The isi status -q command displays a concise list of nodes along with their IDs and external IP addresses.

Syntax:

Running this command from any node in the cluster will provide the required information.

Output:

Includes node IDs, IP addresses, and status information.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option B (isi network external view):

Provides information about the external network interfaces but may not directly map node IDs to IPs.

Option C (isi status -p):

Displays the cluster status in a parsed format but may not include IP addresses.

Option D (isi network subnets list):

Lists subnets configured on the cluster but does not provide node-specific IP addresses.

Reference:

Dell EMC PowerScale OneFS Command-Line Interface Guide:

Section on 'isi status' Commands:

Details the usage of isi status -q to retrieve node information.

Usage Example:

# isi status -q

Node | LNN | Health | IP Address | ...

------+-----+--------+-----------------+-----

Node2 | 2 | Good | 192.168.1.102 | ...

Best Practices:

Use the isi status command family for quick status checks.

Combine with other commands for comprehensive monitoring.
