* PowerStore Clustering:
* PowerStore appliances can be clustered to form a single management entity. However, adding different models within the same cluster follows specific guidelines.
* Cluster Compatibility:
* PowerStore 1000T and 5000X are different models with potentially different hardware configurations and capabilities.
* Dell recommends creating a new cluster with the PowerStore 5000X instead of mixing models within an existing cluster to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
* Adding Appliances:
* Using the PowerStore CLI or PowerStore Manager to add appliances within the same model range is common, but mixing models generally requires creating a separate cluster.
* Dell Midrange Storage References:
* Dell PowerStore documentation provides guidelines on clustering and appliance management, highlighting the importance of model compatibility.
