The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
A standard PowerFlex cluster requires a minimum of 3 nodes to ensure high availability and proper functioning of the management stack.
This requirement is driven by two main architectural factors:
MDM Redundancy: The Management and Control Plane (MDM cluster) requires a minimum of three members to form a quorum and handle failover scenarios: a Primary MDM, a Secondary MDM, and a Tie-Breaker MDM.
Mesh Mirroring Data Protection: PowerFlex creates two copies of every data chunk (Primary and Secondary). To ensure that data remains available even if one node fails—and to allow for successful rebuilding of data—a minimum of 3 nodes is required. If a cluster only had 2 nodes and one failed, the survivor would have the only copy of data, but would have nowhere to "rebuild" the missing redundancy to, leaving the cluster in a permanently degraded state until the node returns.
