What would you recommend for the DR solution?
While validating the value (VTV) with a large educational customer, they have decided they would
like to add a Disaster Recovery (DR) site to their existing Isilon environment. The existing cluster
contains six X-Series nodes. They plan to have all workflows replicated to the DR site and both
clusters will have identical shares, exports, and user authentication. The customer would like to
test DR failover every six months by running their production environment from the DR site.

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

Which minimum cluster configuration, at each site, including software, would meet this customer’s enviro
A hospital is considering using Isilon to store their archived medical images and genomic
sequencing data. They currently have 56 TB of PACS images and 24 TB of genomic data, and
expect to double their capacity requirements this year. They will replicate to a DR cluster, and plan
to use N+2 protection. The production workload needs to be run at either site.
Which minimum cluster configuration, at each site, including software, would meet this customer’s
environment?
What information can be provided to the customer about the protection level for the target directory?
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?
Which minimum cluster configuration would meet this customer’s environment?
A hospital is considering using Isilon to store their long-term archive data for their PACS
application. They currently have two million 17 MB studies. They expect capacity requirements to
be 50% compounded growth per year. They plan to use N+2:1 protection, and would like this
sized for three years of growth. Which minimum cluster configuration would meet this customer’s
environment?
What is the most likely reason for the pausing of some of the SyncIQ jobs?
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?
Which Isilon storage node type will meet the customer’s needs?
You are assisting a customer with creating an Isilon solution that will address their needs while
remaining cost-effective. The customer environment consists entirely of archive data. The data in
their enterprise produces very little I/O and is only occasionally accessed.
Which Isilon storage node type will meet the customer’s needs?
how much disk space will the files use on the target cluster?
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 Isilon configuration should be recommended?
A customer plans to consolidate 200 TB of digital images and video content. Performance is
important for recently created files. However, the customer wants any content that has not been
accessed within 30 days to be stored in the cluster at a much lower cost because performance is
no longer critical. Which Isilon configuration should be recommended?
