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 underutilized. 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?

The storage administrator has a request to add more storage to support added features on an
application. Which two (2) steps must be taken for the application to recognize the added storage?
(Choose two.)
