You are designing a new Isilon cluster that requires backup to tape for all files in the Legal and Accounting shared folders. The customer has sized their IP network to support the application workload, but no additional bandwidth is available.
What should be recommended for the backup solution?
A. Use an Avamar NDMP accelerator and dedicated 10Gb/s network interfaces
B. Use Backup Accelerator nodes for 2-way NDMP
C. Use Backup Accelerator nodes for 3-way NDMP
D. Use SmartConnect Advanced and 10Gb/s network interfaces with LACP
A customer's cluster contains three X200 (24 GB RAM, 3 TB drives) nodes, and three X400 (48 GB RAM, 1 TB drives) nodes. All nodes are configured in a single pool. All data is protected at N+2. After upgrading OneFS to 7.0, the Isilon Web interface indicates that files are not fully protected.
What should be done to correct this situation?
A. Recreate the original pool using the Isilon Web interface
B. Add 24 GB RAM to each of the X200 nodes
C. Recreate the original pool using the command line interface
D. Add two X200 nodes and two X400 nodes
Your customer is looking for a storage solution that will be able to store seven million 3 MB files, which are written and seldom accessed. Read and write operations are both completed by a web-based application, which requires 1.3 Gbps throughput. The customer's network has not been upgraded in many years, so the network interfaces are 1Gbps.
Which cluster configuration would best meet the customer's requirements?
A. 3 NL400 nodes
B. 3 X400 nodes
C. 4 X200 nodes
D. 5 S200 nodes
A customer wants to add Unix users to their cluster, and requires that NFS access be fault-tolerant. What would you recommend?
A. Use NFS v4 and dynamic IP addressing with SmartConnect Basic
B. Use NFS v4 and dynamic IP addressing with SmartConnect Advanced
C. Use NFS v3 and dynamic IP addressing with SmartConnect Advanced
D. Use NFS v3 and dynamic IP addressing with SmartConnect Basic
Your customer has an Isilon 4-node X400 cluster used for home directory use, and has since updated to OneFS 7.0. The HR and Legal departments have been very strict about using only dedicated file servers that are part of a single, isolated, untrusted Active Directory domain. Their filer has been out of maintenance, and fears are being raised that, due to the age, it may fail at some point.
What could the IT department do, to allow the HR and Legal groups to provide file share services, with minimal impact to their other application permissions?
A. Recommend a 2nd cluster for the HR/Legal department
B. Utilize SmartPools to create two pools to separate the domains
C. Consolidate onto a single cluster and merge the domains
D. Use Access Zones for each domain
A customer is looking for a NAS solution to support their read-intensive application.
This solution must meet the following requirements: 1000 users Aggregate bandwidth of 5 GB/s 500 TB of user data Typical latency of 5 ms.
The files are distributed evenly across 10 directories.
Which cluster configuration would best meet these requirements?
A. Seven X400 (108 TB) nodes with no SSD
B. Eight NL400 (96 TB) nodes with 1.6 TB SSD
C. Eight X400 (96 TB) nodes with 1.6 TB SSD
D. Twenty-five X200 (30 TB) nodes with 800 GB SSD
You are asked to size a cluster for a file sharing environment. nfsstat indicates that 75% of the requests are namespace operations (e.g., GETADDR, SETADDR). There will be 8,000 active Linux users, connecting over NFS. Which cluster configuration would you recommend?
A. Five X400 (66 TB) 48 GB RAM, 1.2 TB SSD, N+2:1
B. Eight X200 (27 TB) 12 GB RAM, 600 GB SSD, N+2
C. Eight X200 (27 TB) 48 GB RAM, 600 GB SSD, N+2:1
D. Eight X200 (36 TB) 48 GB RAM, no SSD, N+2:1
A NetApp customer is considering Isilon. They use their filers for UNIX home directories, and would like to see a suggested configuration that would meet their needs. What would you do to help size this cluster?
A. Ask for an autosupport file and upload it to MiTrends to generate a workflow profile
B. Ask them to install InsightIQ and collect data from the filer, then import to SQL for analysis
C. Ask for the output from nfsstat and upload it to MiTrends to generate a workflow profile
D. Use tcpdump and upload the output file to MiTrends to generate a protocol analysis
A potential customer requires 800TB of usable capacity to store medical images for their network of health clinics. The IT department has limited staff and currently manages four storage arrays from other vendors. During a meeting with the Director of IT, you learn that the company is planning to deploy a scale-out NAS solution from a competitor of EMC.
Which factors can demonstrate a lower TCO using Isilon?
A. An IDC study found that Isilon requires 30% less downtime per year compared to other solutions
B. Isilon linear scalability eliminates over buying and over provisioning
C. An IDC study found that Isilon requires 95% less downtime per year compared to other solutions
D. Isilon uses lower speed NL-SAS drives which reduces overall power and cooling requirements
E. An IDC study found that Isilon requires 95% less downtime hours per year compared to other competitors
F. Isilon linear scalability eliminates over buying and over provisioning
G. An IDC study found that Isilon requires 95% less downtime hours per year compared to other competitors
H. Isilon linear scalability closely aligns with additional staff requirements as capacity grows
A potential customer is considering replacing a four year old, Linux-based NFS server with 40TB of usable capacity. The existing system supports home directories, an internal website, and a content repository for the customer's content management system. The customer is concerned about performance of any new solution because they expect to double workload in the content management system.
What tools can be used to collect performance data needed to size the new solution?
A. Iostat and nfsstat
B. Perfmon and sysstat
C. Isi statistics and Wireshark
D. Syslog and vmstat
