Exam 642-357: Designing Cisco Storage Network Solutions

which is to be shared by the different departments. How can this be achieved most efficiently?

Refer to the exhibit.

Due to past acquisitions and mergers, a customer has an extremely mixed environment that contains Cisco, Brocade, and McData Fibre Channel switches. The switches are all interconnected and VSANs are used to keep them all running in native mode. A customer just purchased a new enterprise tape library, which is to be shared by the different departments. How can this be achieved most efficiently? Select the best response.

Which settings will have to be used within certain values for this interoperability mode to function?

A customer is adopting the Cisco MDS switches in their environment with a goal that they will eventually replace the existing Brocade switches. While the two switch types will coexist, they have to use standards-based interoperability mode because of the storage-vendor support requirements. Which settings will have to be used within certain values for this interoperability mode to function? Select the best response.

bandwidth requirements?

A customer has 6 OLTP database servers, 6 data-mining database servers, 6 video streaming servers, 6 mail servers, and 12 file servers. All servers have dual 8-Gbps host bus adapters for redundancy and all will connect to the same pair of Cisco MDS 9513 directors. What would be the most cost-effective way of connecting the servers to the directors, while still maintaining their

bandwidth requirements? The assumption is that the OLTP and mail servers will utilize 50% of the bandwidth, data-mining and video streaming servers will utilize 100% of the bandwidth, and file servers will utilize 25% of the bandwidth. Choose the best combination of line cards. Select the best response.

A customer has a mixed environment consisting of a mainframe server and storage pair; a second storage array and a tape library dedicated to open systems, and a set of Windows and UNIX servers. What would be the minimum workable logical configuration that would allow these devices to coexist on a single pair of Cisco MDS director switches? Select the best response.

which are the most effective connectivity line cards?

Refer to the exhibit.

40

A customer has a redundant topology with 108 servers, 6 storage arrays, and 1 tape library. The servers and tape library each have 2 x 8-Gb/s connectivity to the SAN and the storage arrays each have 4 x 8-Gb/s connectivity. The servers all require an equal amount of bandwidth and the storage arrays must have full line rate speeds with each connection to the SAN. According to this topology, which are the most effective connectivity line cards? Select the best response.
