A two fabric merge has failed leaving you with segmented fabrics. Which could be the the cause of
the segmented fabrics?

Your customer has upgraded to faster tape technology and the backup is now taking longer. No
other changes have been made. What is a possible cause of the performance degradation?

A production cluster is attached to redundant disk fabrics and a tape fabric. Each cluster member
has access to twelve (12) TB of RAID 5 production storage and twelve (12) TB of RAID 0 local replica
accessed through eight HBAs single initiator zoned to sixteen storage ports on one storage
subsystem. The tape fabric includes one connection to each server and connections to four (4) 1Gb
FC to SCSI gateways connected to ten (10) LTO II (35MB/s) tape drives. The standby cluster member
performs multi-threaded backups using the local replica.
All HBAs and ports are 2Gb/s. If the recovery time is equal to backup time, where is the bottleneck?

After a company experienced a localized disaster, the Business Continuance Plan was reviewed. The
plan was revised to include a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of four (4) hours and a Recovery Point
Object (RPO) of one hour. What two (2) processes must be implemented to support this
requirement? (Choose two.)

Last month, you successfully merged two (2) local SAN islands into a single core/edge fabric topology
and connected storage devices to the core switches. Performance benchmarks were met or
exceeded. In recent days, server administrators have documented a slow down in performance as
I/O demands have increased. Storage administrators report that all storage ports are under-utilized.
What is the most likely explanation?

University IT provides shared Fibre Channel storage services. All storage subsystems and fibre
channel switches are located in the secure campus datacenter. Each college and department
provides their own systems and staff. Central IT provides fabric, storage and backup administration.
Which security mechanism is most important in this Fibre Channel infrastructure?

A server administrator notices when a specific server is re-booted its SAN storage is sometimes
visible and sometimes it is not. After examining the SAN switch logs, no FLOGI message has been
received on that port. Which HBA parameter is a most likely cause?

The customer has an existing fabric switches installed from one manufacturer. They have decided to
add a redundant fabric using switches from a different manufacturer. Interoperability is their main
concern. What is important when considering interoperability in the SAN?

You are the system administrator of a medium-sized manufacturing company. The chief executive
officer (CEO) is concerned about business continuity in case of a disaster. He constituted a project
team to develop a business continuity and disaster recovery solution. The team is discussing online
backup strategies. What affects time-to-create and incremental update of a copy-on-write snapshot?

A storage configuration was created which stores large amounts of infrequently used documents.
The storage implementation is based on serial attached SCSI (SAS) and an edge expander. Almost all
ports are utilized, and a second edge expander will be installed. What is required to connect SATA
devices to the SAS domain?
