Suggested Answer: A

1. Navigate to NAS Servers

Go to Compute > NAS Servers.

Click Add NAS Server.

2. Configure NAS Server Settings

NAS Server Name: Enter payrollserver.

Network Interface: Select BaseEnclosure-bond1.

IP Address: Enter 192.168.2.20.

Subnet: Enter /24.

Gateway: Enter 192.168.2.254.

VLAN: Enter 1504.

AD/DNS: Enter 192.168.2.50.

Windows domain name: Enter company.com.

Domain administrator credentials: Enter Administrator for the username and password for the password.

3. Add the NAS Server

Click Add.

Verification

After the NAS server is created, you can verify its configuration on the NAS Servers page. Check that all the settings are correct.

Key Considerations

Network Connectivity: Ensure that the network interface (BaseEnclosure-bond1) is properly configured and connected to the network with the specified VLAN.

Active Directory Integration: The provided domain administrator credentials will be used to join the NAS server to the Active Directory domain. Make sure these credentials are valid.

DNS Resolution: The AD/DNS server IP address (192.168.2.50) should be reachable from the PowerStore appliance for proper name resolution.

By following these steps, you'll successfully create an SMB NAS server with the specified configuration in the PowerStore simulator.

Seriously, who names a server 'payrollserver'? That's just begging for trouble. I'm going to call mine 'TheUltimateServerOfAwesome' instead.

Hey, at least they're not asking us to configure a SAN. NAS is way easier, though I still get those two mixed up sometimes.

The network settings seem pretty standard, but VLAN 1504? That's an oddly specific number. I wonder if there's a story behind that.

I believe we also need to use the domain administrator credentials to set up the server properly.

Yes, we have to use the provided information like NAS and SMB computer name, IP address, subnet, gateway, VLAN, AD/DNS, and domain details.

Looks straightforward enough, but what if the domain admin creds don't work? Gotta be prepared for that, right?

If the domain admin creds don't work, you might need to troubleshoot the authentication settings.

Make sure to double-check the domain admin credentials before starting the setup.
