Answer: D

Explanation:

When reviewing an installation plan for a new Primera storage array in an existing environment, the best resource to find appropriate installation and planning guides is SPOCK (Option D). SPOCK (Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge) provides detailed interoperability and configuration guides, ensuring that all components in the existing infrastructure (such as C7000s, Brocade switches, and 3PAR 7400) are compatible with the new Primera array.

SPOCK is an essential tool for ensuring that the installation process is seamless and that the environment will support the new storage solution without any compatibility issues.
