During a PowerFlex deployment, which steps are required to complete resource discovery?

Resource discovery is the initial phase where PowerFlex Manager (PFxM) or the deployment tool identifies the hardware available to build the cluster.

Assign IP addresses to all nodes (Option A): For the management system to "find" and communicate with the nodes (via iDRAC or OS agents), valid IP configurations on the management network are essential.

Validate network connectivity (Option B): Before the software can be successfully deployed, the underlying network (L2/L3) must be verified. This includes ensuring the nodes can ping the Gateway, DNS, and NTP servers, and that the data networks (for SDS-to-SDS traffic) are routed or switched correctly.

Incorrect Options: Storage pools (C) are created after the cluster is deployed. vSphere (D) is not required for "Resource Discovery" (PowerFlex can be bare metal or other hypervisors).
