Your company uses a cryptographic key system to encrypt tapes. After several years of use and thousands of tapes shipped to off-site locations, an IT audit reveals that encryption keys have been inadvertently stored as ciphertext on file shares to which everyone in the company has read permissions. Which response reflects industry best practice?

You receive a ticket from a database group which is complaining about slow access to storage on only one particular server, as compared to other servers in an active-active cluster. You verify zoning and LUN masking which are fine. On the FC switch, you verify link speed, errors, and throughput for the FC switch ports used by this server. There are no errors on the ports and the link speed is the same as on the switch ports used by other servers in the cluster. You notice that on one port on the FC switch used by this server, that there is no throughput at all. What is causing the problem?
3.
You have been asked to create a LUN on a storage array that is comprised of 7,200 rpm SATA drives. Each drive is rated at 100 IOPS. The LUN should provide a minimum of 1100 IOPS and withstand multiple drive failures using the least number of drives. How many drives and which RAID level should you use to create this LUN?
4.
Which protocol commonly uses CNA devices?

A server with a dual-ported HBA loses access to storage during switch SFP replacement. You want to prevent this from happening in the future. Which action should you perform?
7.
A storage networking device has experienced a failure that has "phone home" and opened a service request for a part that can be a customer replaceable unit (CRU). Your support vendor has dispatched a replacement part using a secure courier service. According to SNIA Storage Security Best Current Practices, which statement is correct about the repair process?

You have completed installing your FC SAN. When everything is powered on, numerous devices are not available. You need to verify that the devices appear within the FC fabric by accessing the appropriate FC service that provides a list of devices and their respective function. Which server within the Fibre Channel fabric would be used to do this?
