The exhibit displays the hardware view within the Dell PowerStore Manager interface. The "Mode" column explicitly designates the operational role of each appliance within the cluster. As shown, the first appliance is labeled "Primary" and the second is "Secondary". This column is the direct and sole indicator of which appliance serves as the primary in the configuration. The primary appliance is responsible for managing the cluster and handling I/O operations.

A. Service Tag: This is a unique hardware identifier for service and support purposes; it does not indicate the appliance's operational role within a cluster.

C. Model: This column identifies the specific hardware model (e.g., PowerStore 500T). Both appliances can be the same model, but only one will be primary.

D. IP Address: This is the management network address for the appliance. While the primary appliance has an IP, the address itself does not define its role.
