Exam 5: XtremIO Solutions and Design Specialist Exam for Technology Architects

Which Isilon tool can be run from the cluster to display Isilon statistics such as CPU activity?

Which Isilon job has a default priority of '1'?

An Isilon customer is reporting less than expected performance from the cluster and poor space utilization. The customer is using three X400 nodes with N+2:1 protection policy to host webserver log data. Upon further analysis, it is discovered that the webservers write log files 64 KiB in size. The log files are then accessed by an analytics application for reporting. What should be done to increase write performance of the cluster?

Which Isilon OneFS job is responsible for examining the entire file system for inconsistencies and runs manually?

Which type of antivirus scan is unsupported by Isilon OneFS?

Which protocols are supported by Isilon OneFS for file access?

Your customer has an Isilon cluster with five X400 nodes and four 72NL nodes. A SmartPools policy moves data to the NL nodes after 60 days of inactivity. The customer wants to expand the archive tier by at least 150 TB and would like to manage a single archive pool. Which nodes should be added to the cluster?

A hospital is considering using Isilon to store their archived medical images and Genomic Sequencing data. They currently have 56 TB of PACS images and 24 TB of genomic data, and expect to double their capacity requirements this year. They will replicate to a DR cluster, and plan to use N+2 protection. The production workload needs to be run at either site. Which minimum cluster configuration, at each site, including software, would meet this customer's environment?

An Isilon customer has two 5-node clusters; one for production and one for disaster recovery (DR). The customer's workflows are replicated to the DR cluster through SyncIQ on individual schedules. They shut down their production cluster for a scheduled DR test, failed over to the DR cluster, and continue their DR testing. Assume both clusters have identical shares, exports, and user authentication. Additionally, assume the client applications have been stopped and the DNS re-pointed. Which SyncIQ Policy method should be used to continue production operations?

A customer currently uses XtremIO native remote replication with four RPAs and a 1 GB WAN link to asynchronously protect all production data. Management has decided that all data stored on the XtremIO must now be protected at the disaster recovery site by synchronous replication. How can this be achieved?

Which Isilon OneFS administration methods are enforced by RBAC?

Refer to the exhibit. A customer calls you and asks if you could come by and interpret their InsightIQ data. You see that namespace reads are 63% of the work load. What would you recommend to help this cluster's namespace performance?

When designing Isilon solutions, what issues should you pay special attention to?

A customer has purchased a two X-Brick XtremIO array with a physical XtremIO Management Server (XMS). The customer plans to use all Fibre Channel connectivity in the environment. What are the physical connectivity requirements for the cluster?

Your customer has a new business unit. They are gathering web log files to be analyzed. They are using Hadoop to do the analysis of the logs. The IT department is centrally storing the log files on a 5-node Isilon cluster. They have enabled the Hadoop cluster to access the files directly on the Isilon storage. The nodes are X400's with two SSD drives in each node and 96GB of RAM. How many DataNodes does the Isilon cluster have?

What is the maximum number of file pool policies supported in an Isilon cluster?

In Isilon OneFS, what is the snapshot limit of a directory?

Your customer has several departments that want separate access to the cluster so they can use their individual authentication methods. Two of the departments will use NFS and two will use SMB to access the cluster. What would you recommend?

A company currently has multiple fileservers to provide home directories for its employees. Each department has a separate fileserver. Most corporate users are on Windows clients and utilize Active Directory, except for the Engineering department, which uses Linux and NIS for authentication. The company is looking for a solution with minimal administrative overhead and a single namespace for the home directories. What is the recommended solution that will meet this company's requirements?

A company needs the ability to separate administrative rights from data access rights. Which Isilon feature enables this functionality?
