Question 1
You need to add an iSCSI host and storage array to your environment. Your manager wants at least
two options that allow all iSCSI initiators to query a central management server to locate the address
of all iSCSI resources (e.g., iSCSI initiators, targets, switches, and management stations).
Which two protocol methods would be used? (Choose two.)
- A. Directory Name Service protocol (DNS)
- B. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- C. Internet Storage Name Server protocol (iSNS)
- D. Service Location Protocol (SLP)
Answer:
C,D
Question 2
Which two cloud deployment models address data privacy issues? (Choose two.)
- A. Community
- B. Public
- C. Private
- D. Hybrid
- E. Campus
Answer:
C,D
Question 3
The system administrator has received complaints about the decreased performance of two LUNs.
When you investigate the port being used to connect to the LUNs, you discover that the port has
achieved its maximum throughput. You also discover that there are other ports available on the
storage array that are not oversubscribed.
Which specific driver is needed to balance workloads between the host and storage?
- A. SCSI driver
- B. TCP/IP driver
- C. Failover driver
- D. Multi-path driver
Answer:
D
Question 4
Only one of many servers is suffering poor performance with a nearline (Tier 2) storage system. The
server administrator has not discovered any obvious root cause. The server has multiple paths to the
storage system but only one path is active. Routine monitoring by the storage administrator has
determined that a single storage port has received a high number of bad frames.
What should the SAN administrator do?
- A. Determine the source of duplicate frames.
- B. Verify that the host ports are correctly zoned.
- C. Find the source of frames with CRC errors.
- D. Collect new performance data and compare to the baseline.
Answer:
C
Question 5
Which type of storage replication is required, at a minimum, for a non-critical application?
- A. Synchronous
- B. Asynchronous
- C. Semi-synchronous
- D. Multi-synchronous
Answer:
B
Question 6
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?
- A. Session-based without hardware support
- B. Frame-based and hardware support
- C. Software-based with hardware support
- D. Frame-based and software enforced
Answer:
B
Question 7
Click the Exhibit button.
Referring to the configuration shown in the exhibit, when will the servers oversubscribe the
connections between the storage array and the switch?
- A. When the 6th server is added to the configuration
- B. When the 7th server is added to the configuration
- C. When the 8th server is added to the configuration
- D. When the 9th server is added to the configuration
Answer:
A
Question 8
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?
- A. ACL
- B. Virtual SAN
- C. Virtual LAN
- D. Virtual Fabrics
Answer:
D
Question 9
Click the Exhibit button.
Which protocol is represented by the frame shown in the exhibit?
- A. FCoE
- B. iSCSI
- C. Ethernet
- D. Fibre Channel
Answer:
D
Question 10
A business critical enterprise resource planning (ERP) system uses a central database at a company's
primary data center. The company has built an out-of-region disaster recovery data center and
intends to implement a standby ERP system with an eight hour RTO and 30 minute RPO.
Which architectural approach to implement service continuity for the ERP database will meet the
RTO and RPO targets?
- A. Implement asynchronous replication of the ERP database, application, and middle tiers to ensure the ERP system is back online with less than 30 minutes of data loss within eight hours of an event.
- B. Implement asynchronous replication of the ERP database, application, and middle tiers to ensure the ERP system is back online with less than eight hours of data loss within 30 minutes of an event.
- C. Perform daily full database backups to tape and overnight ship the backup tape media from one data center to the other to ensure the ERP system is back online with less than eight hours of data loss within 30 minutes of an event.
- D. Implement synchronous database replication and configure application logic to ensure transactions are identical in both data centers as the recovery objectives do not allow for any inflight data loss.
Answer:
A
Question 11

customer.
What will be the size of eachLUN?
- A. 1.5 TB

- A. 1 Gbps
- B. 2 Gbps
- C. 4 Gbps
- D. 8 Gbps
