An administrator wants to increase network throughput for individual UNIX clients when accessing files on a Dell EMC Isilon Gen 6 cluster. The administrator has configured node interfaces to use LACP and has seen no increase in performance.
Why is there no increase in client-to-cluster network performance? A . LACP increases performance for only the SMB protocol B . Main purpose for LACP is to provide link redundancy C . Network switch is using an incompatible version of LACP D . Latency may occur as LACP requires extra CPU cycles
A company has three Dell EMC Isilon X2000 nodes and needs to configure two subnets on the cluster. The production subnet will only use a 10 GigE-1 port from each node. The second subnet will use both ext-1 and ext-2 ports on each node. The company will access each subnet with its SmartConnect zone name.
Given that the second subnet is isolated with no route to the DNS server, how many IP addresses are needed for each subnet to accommodate the requirements? A . 3 for production and 7 for isolated B . 4 for production and 6 for isolated C . 4 for production and 7 for isolated D . 6 for production and 4 for isolated
A Microsoft Windows administrator has an environment that includes a 4-node Dell EMC Isilon H500 cluster with one subnet and two pools. The administrator will use SMBv3 in all their clients. One pool is for production using 10gige- 1 and 10gige-2 ports from each node. The other pool is for management using mgmt-1 from each node.
One of the concerns is the network throughput and how the administrator can get more than 10GbE throughput on the production pool on each node.
Which recommendation should be provided? A . Use LACP active/active on the 10gige ports from each node to get more than 10GbE throughput B . Enable SMBv3 multichannel functionality to get more than 10GbE throughput C . Use LACP active/passive on the 10gige ports from each node to get more than 10GbE throughput. D . Enable both SMBv3 multichannel functionality and LACP to get more than 10GbE throughput
A company is planning to replicate a dataset to a newly implemented Dell EMC Isilon cluster. SyncIQ will be used from the source cluster to the target cluster. The company’s systems administrator wants to know how long the initial synchronization will take without seeding.
The administrator provides the following information:
– Link speed between clusters is 1 Gb/s
– Link speed efficiency is 85%
– SyncIQ domain size is 125TB
If no SyncIQ performance rules are set, what is the estimated number of days? A . 10 B . 12 C . 14 D . 16
An administrator is investigating the performance of one of their Dell EMC Isilon clusters. Using the isi statistics drive command, the performance of the first five drives is shown.
Based on the exhibit, what represents the status of the drives?
A . I/O latency is approximately half a millisecond B . Drives operate well within their estimated IOPS limits C . I/Os are not queuing due to high latency D . Drives exceed their estimated IOPS limits
A company uses a Dell EMC Isilon cluster to store greater than one billion files. The company often restores files from NDMP backups.
Which backup technology is recommended for the environment? A . Two-way NDMP restore B . Directory DAR C . Three-way NDMP restore D . Direct Access restore
A company is migrating files from a third-party storage platform that is authenticated through AD. The migration tool being used is Dell EMC “EMCOPY.exe” running on a separate Microsoft Windows host. In order to run the EMCopy process and complete the migration, which type of account is required? A . Domain user account that is a member of the local Windows Backup Operators group on the source and target. B . Domain user account created explicitly to use isi_vol_copy or isi_vol_copy_vnx on the source and target C . Local user account that has permission to use the EMCOP D . exe utility on the separate Windows host E . Local user account that has members of the local Windows Backup Operators group and local Administrators group on the source and target.
A company has a medical application that generates a large number of media files. The file count is well over one billion and is stored on a Dell EMC Isilon 8-node NL410 cluster. Currently, each node is connected to the network using two 10GbE connections. The Linux-based application does not require high bandwidth; however, it is latency sensitive. Additionally, the Linux hosts are connected to the cluster over NFSv3. The application generates approximately 10,000 files every 10 minutes.
For the past four years, the cluster has been growing at a rate of one additional node per year. The company is running out of free ports on their redundant network switches. They want to know what can be done to ensure continuous availability. They do not want to invest in upgrading the network infrastructure. In addition, the company needs to reduce the number of consumed interface ports on the switches.
Which recommendation should be provided? A . Leave the first four nodes of the cluster connected to both network switches with LACP and free up the remaining connections B . Leave the first node of the cluster connected to both network switches and free up the remaining connections C . Leave the first four nodes of the cluster connected to both network switches and free up the remaining connections D . Leave the first 10GbE interface from each node connected to the same network switch and free up the remaining connections
A media company has a Microsoft Windows-based infrastructure and uses Adobe media editing tools to create advertisements for its customers. Users from the Media Production department store all types of media files on a Dell EMC Isilon cluster.
In addition, users from the Support department are not allowed to store MP3 and AVI files to the NAS system. Both the Media Production and Support departments need to acces other common data on the cluster. Due to workflow procedures, the media files are stored on the same path on the Isilon cluster.
The company wants to know which Isilon features are available and can restrict the Support department users from writing certain media file types onto the Isilon cluster.
Which recommendation should be provided? A . Create an SMB share for the Media Production department and restrict the Support department users from accessing the share. Create another SMB share for the Support department and apply file filtering. B . Create an SMB share for the Support department and restrict the Media Production department users from accessing the share. Create another SMB share for the Media Production department and apply file filtering. C . Create a separate Access zone for each department. Use SyncIQ to replicate the data and exclude the media files. D . Create a single SMB share for both departments. Use the share security settings and Windows NTFS settings to restrict the file types.
A company uses the Dell EMC Isilon cluster’s A200 nodes for short-team archiving of digitized film. Historical and trending information shows that the cluster capacity will reach 90% full in 60 days. To avoid the need to purchase additional A200 nodes, the company requires a solution that archives data not accessed for 18 months to a more cost-effective platform. The long-term archive data must be online and accessible. Some performance loss is acceptable.
Which IT strategy provides a long-term solution that meets the requirements? A . Use data deduplication on achieved data accessed within 180 days B . Use SyncIQ to replicate the archive to the H600 nodes on the secondary cluster C . Use NDMP to backup to disk using compression and deduplication D . Use a CloudPools policy to move the target data to an ECS-powered cloud
