In the Dell EMC PowerStore system, the primary appliance is typically indicated by the ‘Mode’ column within the system’s user interface. The ‘Mode’ column shows the operational mode of the appliance, which can include states such as ‘Primary’, ‘Secondary’, or ‘Standby’.The primary appliance is the one that is actively servicing workloads and managing operations within the PowerStore cluster1.
The ‘Service Tag’ column represents the unique identifier for each physical appliance, the ‘Model’ column indicates the specific model of the appliance, and the ‘IP Address’ column shows the network address assigned to the appliance. While these columns provide important information, they do not indicate the role of the appliance within the cluster.
For more detailed information on identifying the primary appliance and understanding the role of each appliance in a PowerStore cluster, users can refer to the Dell PowerStore Clustering and High Availability documentation1. This documentation provides insights into the clustering architecture of PowerStore and how the primary appliance is determined during the initial configuration process.
