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

What happens to worker threads running on the same node when there is an excessive number of workers running at the same time?

What is the minimum number of connected and available nodes required to maintain quorum in a 25-node Isilon cluster?

Which tool measures actual throughput and produces sophisticated graphs?

Refer to the Exhibit. What is represented by the information shown?

A customer is running OneFS 8.0 on an Isilon cluster consisting exclusively of NL400 nodes. The storage administrator recently heard that OneFS 8.1 provides journal vaulting. What should you advise the storage administrator?

An Isilon customer experienced a node failure. The failure requires that the affected node be permanently removed from the cluster. What will occur in the cluster upon failure of the node?

In a multi-tenant environment, which OneFS feature can be used to isolate and secure data from each tenant?

While configuring Isilon SmartConnect, a customer determined that their workload primarily consists of long-lived NFS and SMB connections. Which load-balancing policy will provide the most efficient client distribution?

You need to design a VDI solution for a customer. Which best practices should be used for VDI environments?

The data access pattern on a Gen 6 Isilon cluster in Concurrency. What describes this workload?

If snapshots are configured for the InsightIQ datastore on Isilon and the datastore is reverted to a previous snapshot, what might be the result?

A customer is planning an Isilon deployment for use with their Hadoop environment. What is one advantage of using Isilon as the HDFS layer?

If SmartPools is unlicensed on a cluster, which features are NOT enabled?

Your customer is a major metropolitan newspaper. Your previous discussion centered on their storage requirements, and you asked them some of the Top Ten questions. They responded: "Well, it's not the prettiest or most high-tech solution...we use Secure FTP (SFTP) to upload the stories and images and put them in a workflow that formats them for printing in the newspaper." "What really worries us is the fact that our Storage Array from your competitor is going out of maintenance in 120 days, and they are dropping support for Secure FTP. This isn't even considered in our D/R Plan. Do you have a better solution with Isilon?" Which top 10 questions led to this information?

Who developed the framework for testing All-Flash arrays that is used in the XtremIO PoC?

When configuring Isilon SmartPools policies, which values are allowed for file pool policy storage destinations?

A media and entertainment company has asked for help in creating a new Video On Demand (VOD) storage system. The storage would be delivered to 5000 subscribers simultaneously. They would like to store 5000 hours of full length, High Definition (HD) movies. What would be the best price-to-performance nodes for this solution?

While validating the value (VTV) with a large educational customer, they have decided they would like to add a Disaster Recovery (DR) site to their existing Isilon environment. The existing cluster contains six X-Series nodes. They plan to have all workflows replicated to the DR site and both clusters will have identical shares, exports, and user authentication. The customer would like to test DR failover every six months by running their production environment from the DR site. What would you recommend for the DR solution?

You are asked to size a cluster for a file sharing environment. nfsstat indicates that no more than 10% of the requests are namespace operations (e.g. GETADDR, SETADDR). There will be 10,000 active Linux users, connecting over NFS. Which cluster configuration would you recommend?

A customer has an SMB file directory with 375 TB of data on the primary cluster with a protection level of N+3:1. They want to replicate this directory to the secondary cluster. They are interested in the possibility of setting protection levels on the target cluster. Which target directory protection level information can be provided?
