Two servers have been connected to a SAN with redundant fabrics and the zone configuration needs to be changed. How can you safely change the zone configuration?

Which set of SCSI components are required to support SCSI command tag queuing?

 

A two fabric merge has failed leaving you with segmented fabrics. Which could be the the cause of the segmented fabrics?

Your customer has upgraded to faster tape technology and the backup is now taking longer. No other changes have been made. What is a possible cause of the performance degradation?

Last month, you successfully merged two (2) local SAN islands into a single core/edge fabric topology and connected storage devices to the core switches. Performance benchmarks were met or exceeded. In recent days, server administrators have documented a slow down in performance as I/O demands have increased. Storage administrators report that all storage ports are under- utilized. What is the most likely explanation?

The customer has an existing fabric switches installed from one manufacturer. They have decided to add a redundant fabric using switches from a different manufacturer. Interoperability is their main concern. What is important when considering interoperability in the SAN?

A storage configuration was created which stores large amounts of infrequently used documents. The storage implementation is based on serial attached SCSI (SAS) and an edge expander. Almost all ports are utilized, and a second edge expander will be installed. What is required to connect SATA devices to the SAS domain?

Which portion of the 24-bit (aabbcc) fibre channel address identifies the domain ID?

You are installing a x16 PCI-E HBA into a server and notice that you only have a x8 slot available. What is the impact of this action?

A two fabric merge has failed, leaving you with segmented fabrics. Investigation of the switch domain IDs shows that there is an ID conflict between two of the switches. What is the corrective action?
