Question 9
After revising Cloud-First strategy, a customer’s CFO asks an architect to recommend which
workloads should be moved to FlashBlade.
Which two workloads will be successful on FlashBlade? (Select two.)

- D. AI/ML TensorFlow Model. ***
- E. Highly Sensitve Training Application that requires synchronous replication.
Answer:
B, D
Question 10
A customer reports far lower than expected performance on the FlashBlade, in a Oracle RMAN
backup solution. The environment consists of four Oracle database nodes, each with 1x10Gb/s NIC,
connected via NFS, to a fully populated FlashBlade chassis. Only a small number of blades are being
used. Synthetic performance testing shows no performance issues in the network.
What should the architect suggest to causing this issue?
- A. Oracle RMAN uses HCC compression, so this a poor use case for FlashBlade.
- B. dNFS is not enabled on the Oracle nodes or the number of RMAN channels is too low. ***
- C. The sustained write performance of a 15 blade FlashBlade is 1.5GB/s
- D. The FlashBlade only has 8x10Gb/s uplink connectivity to the customer’s top of rack switches.
Answer:
B
Question 11
A customer is developing a AI workflow that Ingests sensor data to FlashBlade NFS from its cloud
edge collection point for furthers analysis.
The customer’s HPC cluster mounts NFS to train the data but S3 to label.
Which challenge will the architect experience with this design?
- A. NFS and S3 are NOT a shared namespace. ***
- B. NFS and S3 must use different data VIPs.
- C. NFS and S3 cannot be enabled concurrently.
- D. NFS and S3 cannot share export rules.
Answer:
B
Question 12
Which of the following benefits does FlashBlade SafeMode offer?
- A. Protects against unauthorized eradication of snapshots ***
- B. Prevents the unauthorized deletion of snapshots.
- C. Protects snapshots from being overwritten.
- D. Eradicates deleted snapshots immediately.
Answer:
A
Question 13
A customer has two workflows. One workflow can use either SMB 3.0 or ISCSI. The other only
leverage NFS.

- A. Use FlashBlade for both environments
- B. Use block storage for both environments
- C. Use block storage for NFS and FlashBlade for ISCSI
- D. Use block storage for ISCSI and FlashBlade for NFS. ***
Answer:
D

1.
The customer has 4 host connecting using NFS.
2.
The environment is running VMware with 300 VMs.
3.
The FlashBlade is connected to the customer network using 4x40Gb/s links
What is causing this issue?
