A customer has iSCSI servers that occasionally perform poorly. The performance issues on a particular server occur during temporary traffic spikes to that server. Logs show that the number of dropped packets increases during the traffic spike. In normal traffic conditions, performance is acceptable. What are iSCSI best practices to fix this problem?
A storage array is configured with four front-end ports on each controller (in a dual-controller configuration) for server connectivity. The storage array runs in Legacy Port mode. An engineer needs to provide multi-pathed (2 fabrics) connectivity from the storage array to the server. What is the minimum number of fault domains required?
There are several servers connected to the Storage Center through Fibre Channel (FC) fabrics using WWN zoning. The engineer has recently replaced a server's FC HB. This server can no longer connect to the Storage Center. What is causing the problem?
An engineer has several servers connected to the Storage Center through two FC fabrics. The Storage Center runs in Legacy mode. The engineer needs to create zones based on World Wide Names (WWN). Which WWNs from the Storage Center need to be included in the zone with the server WWN?
An engineer needs to install an SC8000 with four FC ports in each controller and two FC switches set up in a dual fabric. Each controller also has two 10 Gb iSCSI ports. All iSCSI ports are connected to an ethernet switch. The system uses virtual ports. How many fault domains are required?
A zone must include at least one target and at least one initiator. How many targets and initiators should each zone include according to recommended best practice?
An engineer is configuring fault domains and front-end IO ports on a dual controller storage array. Any volumes that are later created and mapped to a server must be active/optimized on one controller and standby on the other controller. Which port mode should the engineer use to meet this requirement?
A customer has a newly installed storage array. The customer needs to proactively monitor and report storage utilization on a regular basis. Which customizable, proactive tool should be configured to perform this task?
A customer has multiple Storage Centers at their main site and a DR system at a remote site. A particularly important volume requires High Availability protection. An outage on one system at the main location must NOT cause data to be inaccessible. Disaster Recovery protection is also required to protect data even if the entire main site goes down. Which technology best meets these requirements?
