A four switch Fabric with 8 ports per switch using a full-mesh connectivity approach will have 20
Ports available for Fabric attached devices. How many ports will be available using the full mesh
approach when increasing the number of switches from four to six?

You are architecting a redundant SAN which will include 100 hosts with dual HBAs,50 hosts with
Quad HBAs, and storage arrays which have a total of 48 ports. The SAN implements redundant
Fabrics and redundant ISLs. A 128 port director is ten times as expensive as a 16 port switch.
Focusing on management, cost, performance, and future expansion, which solution is the most
effective?

A client has four servers they want to attach to a storage array containing 16 ports. Which
topology is the most cost effective for this situation?

What is not affected by distance?

Company.com needs to protect against data corruption. You must assume that it could take the
company up to three hours to determine that their data is corrupted. They want to have a snapshot
every hour. The production data is not write intensive. If a split mirror snapshot is used,
incremental establishment takes 15 minutes. Which solution fulfils their needs and is the most cost
effective?

Company.com is configuring a host to have access to three virtual devices. The customer wants to
strip these devices into one logical volume. Which three choices are valid?

For a high availability storage network what should you do?

Company.com needs to create a tape backup strategy for a file system. On average the file
system will be 60% full. Array based virtualization will be used to create the snapshot, which will
only be used for the tape backup. Write activity on the production volume will be minimal during
the backup process. Which will provide the least impact to the production application?

An array is behaving erratically. Upon working and troubleshooting with the vendor representative,
you are told that the only way to clear the problem is to reboot the unit. The vendor states they
have seen this behavior previously and feels it will return the unit to a fully operational status.
Which three actions should you perform? (choose three)

You are troubleshooting a disaster recovery plan for your data center. Your current configuration is
one with a SAN that includes a local and remote data center. Recently the data center was moved
further away. You are experiencing reduced throughput and link utilization is now at 35 percent.
What cause this?
