Exam 2: Storage Networking Management and Administration

After the storage administrator merged two multi-vendor FC SANs, an error indicates that two ports have become isolated causing a segmentation to exist in the fabric. Which two events would cause this? (Choose two.)

You need to merge two existing FC fabrics. After connecting the ISL to join the fabrics, numerous switches segment. What should be done to prevent the segmentation?

You are asked to secure management access to your SAN devices. Which three actions should you perform? (Choose three.)

You want to prevent unauthorized switches from connecting to your company's fabrics. What should you do?

Your company asks you to increase restore speeds. What should you do?

What are two concerns when trying to migrate from one cloud storage provider to another one? (Choose two.)

You have been asked to implement a remote data replication scheme. The current data center is mostly constructed of FC components and the corporation is highly invested in the technology. The remote data center needs a synchronous replication solution. What will accomplish this goal?

Your company does a full backup on Sunday night and incremental backups from Monday through Saturday at midnight. The full backup requires two tapes and each incremental backup requires one tape. There is a system failure Wednesday morning. How many tapes will be used to restore to the most current backup?

You have a server which is booting from a SAN. After adding new SAN storage to a host, the host will not boot from the SAN. What will resolve this problem?

A customer has upgraded all switches in their redundant fabrics during a single maintenance window. Shortly after the upgrades are completed on the core switches, all servers lose access to all SAN attached storage. What would have prevented this scenario?

Which protocol commonly uses CNA devices?

The enterprise storage system has the "call home" feature enabled and configured. However, the storage administrator has been told that "call home" is not working. Which two actions should you perform? (Choose two.)

A company has a storage subsystem that supports a variety of replication options. They have purchased an identical array and placed it at a secondary site 4,200 km away and want to keep the two arrays as closely synchronized as possible. Which solution should be chosen?

A solution architect needs to know how your switches enforce zoning. The enforcement method and identification type being used in your current FC switches must provide the highest level of security. Which zoning enforcement should you use?

Two different departments have funded the purchase of a new director-class switch. Each department wants to have control of the fabric. Two logical switches will need to be created, each with its own set of administrators. Which feature must be enabled on the switch to do this?

Five out of 4S servers using one particular enterprise storage system are experiencing performance degradation during normal working hours. All 48 servers have similar workload characteristics. There are multiple disk groups that make up your enterprise storage. What should be monitored to determine the root cause?

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?

Click the Exhibit button. Referring to the exhibit, which three switch indicators will help you to determine the stability of a link? (Choose three.)

You have received an emergency call from the night shift after they attempted to merge three small SANs in the engineering department. Once completed, all devices in SANs A and B communicate with one another but SAN C could not communicate with either of the other SANs because the fabric has become segmented. Which statement is correct?

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?
