A customer created one month of snapshots consisting of one snapshot every 8 hours for 30 days
on an Isilon cluster using SnapshotIQ. The customer is now deleting the snapshots randomly and
is experiencing overhead to the cluster. How can the customer remove the snapshots and avoid
the overhead caused by the process?

An Isilon customer would like to have different snapshot policies and schedules on the same
directory. Why is this possible on an Isilon cluster?

How many snapshots can be created at the directory level using Isilon SnapshotIQ?

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. The customer would
like information about the possibility of setting protection levels on the target cluster.
What information can be provided to the customer about the protection level for the target
directory?

A customer created eight SyncIQ policies on a 6-node Isilon cluster that all start at midnight. They
are running into issues where several jobs are paused while others are still running. This is
delaying the overall replication of data. What is the most likely reason for the pausing of some of
the SyncIQ jobs?

A customer has 10 files that are 10 MB in size. They created two clones of each of these files on
their source cluster. They would like to use SyncIQ to replicate the original files as well as the
cloned files to a target cluster. Excluding protection overhead, how much disk space will the files
use on the target cluster?

Which block size does Isilon SyncIQ use to transfer data?

A customer has two data centers (Site A and Site B) and in each data center there is an Isilon
cluster. They are replicating data using SyncIQ between the two data centers. You have been
reviewing their disaster recovery plan and found the following:
The policies specify that SyncIQ runs a replication job every 2 hours and that the job finishes
within 1 hour.
Three additional hours will be needed to get servers and the network redirected to work from
Site B.
What is the Recovery Point Objective in this plan?

A customer has two data centers (Site A and Site B) and in each data center there is an Isilon
cluster. They are replicating data between the sites using SyncIQ. You have been reviewing their
disaster recovery plan and found the following:
The policies specify that SyncIQ runs a replication job every 3 hours and that the job finishes
within 1 hour.
Three additional hours will be needed to get servers and the network redirected to work from
Site B.
What is the Recovery Point Objective in this plan?

A customer is trying to get Isilon SyncIQ to run on the two clusters they just purchased. However,
they are experiencing some problems. They have asked you to explain how the SyncIQ licensing
works. What information can be provided to the customer?
