What is a consideration when designing access zones?

A customer needs to be able to periodically monitor their node live performance for ongoing operational tasks as well as during problem analysis. You have recommended they use the isi statistics command to fulfill this need.
What types of statistics and statuses could be displayed with this command?
- A . Protocol status, drive statistics, hardware statistics, node statistics
- B . Node alerts, Job Engine statistics, hardware status, protocol statistics
- C . Node statistics, general status, drive status, hardware statistics
- D . Drive statistics, node status, protocol alerts, general performance
A customer has eight X400 24GB RAM that supports 400 client connections today The customer plans to add 400 more clients in the next few months. They are looking at adding an A-Series node to the cluster to help with client connections.
Before they start adding client connections, what hardware change do you recommend?
- A . Add RAM to offset concurrent client connections
- B . Add an A100 to offset concurrent client connections
- C . Add nodes with SSD to help with connections
- D . Add more network switches to increase the number of connections
Your customer is looking for a storage solution that will be able to store seven million 3 MB files, which are written and seldom accessed. Read and write operations are both completed by a webbased application, which requires 1.3 Gbps throughput. The customer’s network has not been upgraded in many years, so the network interfaces are 1Gbps.
Which cluster configuration would best meet the customer’s requirements?
- A . 3 NL400 nodes
- B . 3 X400 nodes
- C . 4 X200 nodes
- D . 5 S200 nodes
Refer to the Exhibit.
What is represented by the information shown?
- A . Directory quota cannot exceed 2 TB for both /ifs/data/media and /ifs/data/media/photo.
Directory quota cannot exceed 900 GB for /ifs/data/media/video.
Directory quota can be any size up to 2 TB and each user can only store 75 GB for /ifs/data/media/temp. - B . Directory quota cannot exceed 2 TB for /ifs/data/media and no quota limit on /ifs/data/media/photo.
Directory quota cannot exceed 900 GB for /ifs/data/media/video.
Directory quota can be any size up to 2 TB and each user can only store 75 GB for /ifs/data/media/temp. - C . Directory quota cannot exceed 2 TB for both /ifs/data/media and /ifs/data/media/photo.
Directory quota cannot exceed 900 GB for /ifs/data/media/video.
Directory quota can be any size up to 2 TB for /ifs/data/media/temp. - D . Directory quota cannot exceed 2 TB for both /ifs/data/media and /ifs/data/media/photo.
Directory quota cannot exceed 900 GB for /ifs/data/media/video.
Directory quota can be any size up to 900 GB and each user can only store 75 GB for /ifs/data/media/temp.
A customer is inquiring about expanding their primary cluster consisting of six S-Series nodes in order to improve performance. They have a second cluster with 11 X-Series nodes. Both clusters leverage 1GbE, but the customer recently installed a 10GbE network that can be utilized.
They also have multiple Fibre Channel SAN arrays in their environment. They have a variety of workloads on each cluster and are in the process of determining which workloads belong on which cluster.
They have discovered that one of the workloads- a SQL database that resides on the X-Series node cluster – is experiencing timeouts due to latency. The database vendor has suggested limiting latency to 5ms or less to eliminate these timeouts.
How do you advise the customer?
- A . Consider migrating data from Isilon to one of their SAN platforms or proposing a new solution to handle the performance requirements of SQL.
- B . Merge the S-Series nodes and X-Series nodes into one cluster, upgrade the 1GbE to 10GbE, and leverage SmartPools to allow for the cluster to determine where data should reside.
- C . Suggest the customer consider leveraging SSDs in the new nodes they purchase and GNA to boost the performance of each cluster.
- D . Recommend they increase the amount of DRAM in the cluster or consider an Accelerator node in order to increase the amount of cache in their cluster.
During a write process in OneFS 8.0, from which cache are blocks copied to disk?
- A . L3
- B . L2
- C . Endurant
- D . L1
A customer is implementing a new backup strategy for their two PowerScale clusters. The clusters are in a DR configuration. The customer uses SyncIQ to replicate data from the primary cluster to the DR cluster.
They use CloudPools to tier archival data to a public cloud provider from both clusters. The public cloud provider guarantees a backup of all data that is stored in their cloud.
Which NDMP backup option should be applied to their primary cluster to avoid backing up data that is tiered to their cloud provider?
- A . NDMP Redirector
- B . DeepCopy
- C . ComboCopy
- D . ShallowCopy
