A storage administrator has just installed a new SAN. Which of the following should the administrator establish for performance monitoring purposes?
2.
A new storage system with dual storage controllers is added to an HA SAN. The storage administrator attempts to zone a dual HBA host to the new storage system but can only connect to the first storage controller on HBA0 and the second storage controller on HBA1. After checking to ensure the link light is on for the fiber cable connecting the storage to the switch, which of the following should be checked NEXT?
3.
Which of the following RAID levels offers the HIGHEST level of protection with the shortest rebuild time?
4.
A dual-controller, active/active storage array is servicing I/O for 10 mission-critical systems. Controller A loses power and fails and all traffic is immediately routed to controller B and all pending writes from controller A have been committed to disk without issue. Which of the following features describes this functionality?
5.
A server is attached to a dual-controller array via a single port HBA. The fabrics are fully redundant and connected to each of the array controllers in an appropriate fashion. Which of the following is necessary to provide load balancing on the server?
6.
An administrator has just archived 50 percent of a file shares data to tape. The administrator then proceeds to clear the unused space so that it is available for use by the server and array. On the array, the original LUN was provisioned in a way that allows such an operation. This process is called which of the following?
7.
An environment includes an active/passive array and 2Gbps ports for the array controllers, switches, and host HBAs. The SAN is fully redundant and highly available. A new host is attached and LUNs are assigned to benchmark throughput. Which of the following is the HIGHEST throughput the administrator can expect?
8.
The backup regimen for a file server is to run a full backup every Sunday and cumulative incremental backups Monday thru Saturday evenings. On Wednesday morning, the server and storage are lost in a catastrophic event. Assuming a different backup tape is used every day, how many tapes are required to recover the server?
9.
Which of the following is a protocol that enables serverless backup?
10.
A technician has completed a replacement of the customers 1Gbps FC switches with new 4Gbps FC switches. All HBAs in the servers and storage arrays were also upgraded. To save money, the customer installed into the original cable plant. After all zoning changes were completed, and devices were brought online, the servers are not able to connect properly to the storage arrays. Which of the following is the MOST likely problem?
