You have been asked to design a Dell EMC Isilon cluster running OneFS 8.x for a service provider. One of the most critical areas to the provider is data segregation with multi-tenants. Use the “Launch Simulator” button to identify the current condition of the cluster: Note: It is necessary to “close” (x) the simulator window to answer the question.
Based on your findings, what is the cluster’s current condition?
You have just configured a Dell EMC Isilon cluster. One of the remaining tasks is to enable alert notification. The cluster is on a network segment behind a firewall for security. You have determined which node is the CELOG master and have enabled connectivity between it and the ESRS gateway.
Testing shows that alerts were working for several days but have suddenly stopped. Which action is required to resolve this issue?
An administrator is investigating the performance of one of their Dell EMC Isilon clusters. Using the isi statistics drive command, the performance of the first five drives is shown.
Based on the exhibit, what represents the status of the drives?
A Dell EMC Isilon administrator wants to know which workloads benefit from using L3 Cache. Which type of workloads will address the administrator’s inquiry?
An IT team is preparing to replicate a dataset from their existing primary Dell EMC Isilon cluster to a secondary cluster. Both clusters are licensed for SmartLock Enterprise and SyncIQ is used for replication. The source directory is a SmartLock directory and the target directory must be a SmartLock directory.
When consulting with the IT team, what is a key consideration before running the replication policy?
SyncIQ policies are being configured between two Dell EMC Isilon clusters at a company’s location. In addition, the company wants the ability to perform a failover at an Access zone level. Which actions should be performed to meet the requirement?
A company has 7 PB of PACS achieve data on their Dell EMC Isilon cluster. The PACS application correctly creates and stores large containers of small files. Based on local healthcare regulation changes, the company can no longer user large containers of small files. As a result, the company wants to know if Isilon can support the new regulatory PACS requirement while maximizing the storage capacity for small files.
Which licensed feature should be activated?
A company has a cluster with two subnets. The first subnet has 1 GbE interfaces dedicated for management and the second subnet has 10GbE interfaces dedicated for handling all data access. When the cluster started serving the production environment, poor performance was observed while the data is accesses through the data subnet. While troubleshooting the network, the administrator discovered that the return traffic is going through the management network. Which recommended solution will resolve this issue?
A company has two Dell EMC Isilon clusters. The source cluster is running OneFS 8.0.x and the target cluster is running OneFS 7.2.x with replication policies configured from the source to the target cluster. OneFS will not be upgraded on the target cluster.
After some time, the company decided to archive some of the data to ECS using CloudPools. One of the company’s concerns is how the archived data will be replicated using the existing SyncIQ policies. What is recommended approach to address the company’s concerns?
Case Study 4
A company is experiencing a noticeable decrease in performance when accessing data on their Dell EMC Isilon cluster. The cluster hosts Microsoft Windows home directories and general purpose file shares. In addition, a file pool policy moves data that has not been modified in six months to an achieve tier. The administrator wants your assistance in understanding the reason for the slow data access. The number of users accessing the cluster has not changed. The administrator has shared the following baseline metrics. The outputs were captured from a performance- acceptable time frame.
Trace route shows:
-3 hops between clients and the cluster
-Average latency is 3 ms
Iperf shows:
-940 Mb/s average bandwidth
-005 ms average jitter
Netstat on the local network shows:
-05% average re-transmission rate
Hostcache list:
-20 ms average roundtrip time across all clients
The administrator shows you the details of the hostcahce.list output. The output indicates that the top clients on the list have an average of 242 ms round trip time. Based on the output, what information should be provided to the administrator?
