A Storage Administrator ran a PSTCLI command on a Linux host. The error " -bash: pstcli: command not found" appears. How is the problem resolved?
When the error ''-bash: pstcli: command not found'' appears after running a PSTCLI command on a Linux host, it typically means that the shell cannot locate the pstcli executable in the directories listed in the PATH environment variable. To resolve this issue, the installation directory of pstcli needs to be added to the PATH variable. This can be done by editing the shell initialization file (such as .bashrc or .bash_profile for Bash shell) and appending the installation directory to the PATH variable.
Here are the steps to resolve the problem:
Locate the installation directory of PSTCLI. If you followed the default installation, it should be in /opt/dellemc/pstcli-version/bin/.
Open the shell initialization file in a text editor. For example, if using Bash, you might edit ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile.
Add the following line to the file: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/dellemc/pstcli-version/bin/. Replace /opt/dellemc/pstcli-version/bin/ with the actual installation directory if it is different.
Save the file and reload the shell configuration by running source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bash_profile, or simply close and reopen the terminal.
Verify that pstcli can be found by running echo $PATH and ensuring the directory is listed.
Try running the pstcli command again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
While on-site troubleshooting a Dell EMC PowerStore system, the node B embedded module fault LED is blinking blue and amber alternating at one second intervals. What does this indicate?
In service mode, the node is typically isolated from normal storage operations to allow for troubleshooting, hardware replacement, or software updates without affecting the rest of the system. The alternating blue and amber LED is a visual indicator used by technicians to identify the current state of the node.
Refer to the exhibit.

While on-site installing a Dell EMC PowerStore system, the node A and B embedded module fault LEDs are alternating blue and amber (blue for 3 seconds). What does this
indicate?
The initialization process is a critical step during the installation of a PowerStore system. It involves setting up the system's configuration, including network settings, storage pools, and other essential parameters. Until this process is completed, the system cannot perform storage operations or host any virtual machines.
To resolve this and initialize the system, the following steps should be taken:
Connect to the system through the PowerStore Manager using a supported web browser.
Complete the Initial Configuration Wizard (ICW), which guides you through the necessary steps to initialize the system.
Once the ICW is completed, the system will finalize its configuration and the LEDs should reflect a normal operational state.
What is the reason for the best practice of leaving 2 Us of space at the bottom of the rack when racking Dell EMC PowerStore systems?
The reason for the best practice of leaving 2 Us of space at the bottom of the rack when racking Dell EMC PowerStore systems is to leave room for serviceability.
When installing a Dell EMC PowerStore system, it is recommended to leave 2 Us of space at the bottom of the rack.
Serviceability involves the ability to access and maintain hardware components easily. The additional space allows for better maneuverability and access to the system for maintenance and repairs.
