An insurance company is using PowerScale H700 nodes to store their data. A systems administrator conducts a capacity assessment and notices that the available space has decreased significantly.
During investigation, the administrator finds that several users are storing their PST and MP4 files on the cluster which occupies a large amount of storage space.
What can the administrator do to prevent such situation to happen in the future?
- A . Configure an accounting quota.
- B . Use file filtering policies.
- C . Use inline data compression.
- D . Configure an advisory quota.
How is data moved to the cloud using the CloudPools software module?
- A . Files are divided into 1 MB objects and stored in the cloud, leaving small stub files on the Isilon cluster
- B . Files are divided into 1 MB objects and transferred over NDMP to the cloud service, leaving database entries on the Isilon cluster
- C . Data is transferred to cloud services and encoded based on the cloud configuration, leaving small stub files on the Isilon cluster
- D . Data is transferred to cloud services based on CloudPools policy settings, leaving nothing on the Isilon cluster
What happens to worker threads running on the same node when there is an excessive number of workers running at the same time?
- A . Workers are paused
- B . Workers are queued
- C . Impact level of workers is decreased
- D . Priority level of workers is decreased
A customer has two Isilon clusters. Cluster 1 has eight H500 nodes and cluster 2 has twelve H500 nodes. The customer needs to be able to monitor real time performance data of the clusters as well as track file growth.
Which supported tool should be recommended?
- A . InsightIQ
- B . Data Insights
- C . Unisphere
- D . isi statistics
While designing SyncIQ policies for a new cluster, an architect wants to ensure that data is not deleted.
What should the architect create?
- A . SyncIQ copy policy
- B . SyncIQ sync policy
- C . SyncIQ policy with option: "Whenever the source is modified"
- D . SyncIQ policy with Encryption
A company currently has multiple fileservers to provide home directories for its employees. Each department has a separate fileserver.
Most corporate users are on Windows clients and utilize Active Directory, except for the Engineering department, which uses Linux and NIS for authentication. The company is looking for a solution with minimal administrative overhead and a single namespace for the home directories.
What is the recommended solution that will meet this company’s requirements?
- A . Configure a single Isilon cluster and utilize Access Zones for authentication to Active Directory and NIS.
- B . Configure two separate clusters, one for Windows clients and the other for Linux.
- C . Utilize SmartPools to create two different FilePools, and separate Windows users from Linux users.
- D . Configure a single cluster, and migrate Linux users to Windows.
There is a concern that there are not enough physical switch ports available for the Isilon cluster in a new implementation with SMB and ICAP requirements.
What course of action should be taken?
- A . Team the NICs across the nodes and just add one connection to minimize the ports required.
- B . The customer needs to provide more switch ports for the implementation
- C . Create a SmartConnect zone across all ports but do not connect all of them
- D . Leave the archival nodes off the external network switch to save switch ports
A customer wants to use their large Gen 6 Isilon cluster for ILM. All of their data is written to and read from a single file pool. They need to use multiple file pools, so slightly used data is stored on less expensive, large disks. Heavily used data is stored on a faster tier.
What would satisfy the customer’s needs?
- A . Configure SmartPools Advanced
- B . Add an A-series node with SmartPools license
- C . Enable FAST VP license on each node pair
- D . Install SmartPools license on the cluster
