A company has a storage subsystem that supports a variety of replication options. They have purchased an identical array and placed it at a secondary site 50 km away and will provide the shortest RPO.
Which statement is correct?
A. Asynchronous replication is the only replication option for distances over 50 km.
B. Synchronous replication is the only replication option for distances over 50 km.
C. Snapshots allow for data to be quickly captured, copied, and mounted from one storage array to another and is the ideal solution for all distances.
D. Synchronous replication will keep the arrays closely synchronized and is ideal for short distances.
You have received an emergency call from the night shift after they attempted to merge three small SANs in the engineering department. Once completed, all devices in SANs A and B communicate with one another but SAN C could not communicate with either of the other SANs because the fabric has become segmented.
Which statement is correct?
A. The port is isolated until a fabric rebuild occurs,
B. The port is isolated until a fabric re-configuration occurs.
C. The system administrator must manually correct the issue that caused segmentation (port isolation) and then start the Build Fabric (BF) process.
D. The system administrator must manually correct the issue that caused port isolation (segmentation) and then start the Reconfiguration Fabric (RCF) process.
A new server needs to start from LUN 1 instead of LUN 0. Which HBA setting must be configured?
A. Selectable Boot
B. Persistent Binding
C. Enable Target Reset
D. LUNs per Target
You have been hired as a consultant to help resolve boot-from-SAN server reboots. The company has hosts, storage devices, and tape drives in the same zones. A large number of RSCNs are generated during the backup window.
What is the cause of the problem?
A. Tape drives are more sensitive to RSCNs than hosts or disk storage devices.
B. Storage devices and tape drives are configured within the same zone.
C. Storage devices are more sensitive to RSCNs than hosts or tape storage devices.
D. Most SAN switches do not support having both disk and tape frames flowing over the same switch ports at the same time.
You determine that throughput between a server and an FC storage array is lower than expected.
Your privileges only allow you to change the configuration of the HBA on the server.
Which configuration setting can you change to increase throughput?
A. Queue length
B. Queue depth
C. Topology
D. Class 1 service
A small business with an IP SAN and NAS storage is experiencing slow response times on the servers which have NAS storage resources.
Which two should the storage administrator monitor to determine the root cause? (Choose two.)
A. Latency per NAS port
B. IOPS per NAS port
C. Link speed per NAS port
D. MBps per NAS port
E. I question the question
A data center has an existing three tiered storage solution consisting of enterprise, nearline, and tape. Each storage tier has available expansion capacity. A new mission-critical application is being developed that will require 4TBs of extremely low latency enterprise storage. The new application will be hosted on clustered servers. Cost is not a factor.
Which solution will meet the requirements?
A. Add sufficient SSDs to an existing nearline storage system.
B. Add sufficient SSDs to an existing enterprise storage platform.
C. Add sufficient SAS drives to an existing enterprise storage platform.
D. Add sufficient SAS drives to an existing nearline storage system.
You are using asynchronous storage replication to protect your critical database server. There are no replication agents installed on the database server. After a disaster, you are unable to bring up the database at the DR site.
What is the cause?
A. The database requires replication from a second storage array.
B. The database requires synchronous storage replication.
C. Two copies of databases are required at the DR site to be able to replay transaction logs.
D. An installed agent is required for the database to be quiesce and replicated in crash-consistent state.
