An administrator would like to employ a strategy to use SAN space more efficiently. Data that has a high I/O and is accessed often should be moved to SSD and Fiber Channel drives while data accessed less often should be moved to the higher capacity SATA drives. Which of the following features describes this strategy?
A. SAN snapshot
B. Storage base lining
C. Data tiering
D. Capacity planning
A storage administrator is troubleshooting lack of connectivity between an iSCSI-initator and iSCSI-target that is located behind a firewall. The firewall has the following active rule base:
Allow udp port 3260
Allow tcp port 443
Allow icmp all
Deny all
Which of the following is the MOST likely issue?
A. iSCSI does not function behind a firewall due to the RPC protocol.
B. iSCSI also requires TCP/3260 to be allowed.
C. The issue is not firewall related as iSCSI is not a TCP/IP-based protocol.
D. iSCSI does not function behind a firewall due to NAT requirements.
Some users are reporting performance issues with a newly deployed web server. While running a protocol analyzer, the system administrator is able to capture both iSCSI and TCP port 80 trafficon the same subnet. Which of the following can the system administrator implement to separate iSCSI from other network traffic?
A. VLAN
B. Jumbo frames
C. LUN masking
D. Multipathing
Which of the following has the ability to minimize CPU overhead?
A. Jumbo Frames
B. Class of service
C. TOE
D. VLAN
Which of the following drive types would provide the LOWEST performance and reliability?
A. FATA
B. SCSI
C. SAS
D. FC
A disk cylinder refers to which of the following?
A. A vertically aligned track on all disk surfaces within a hard drive.
B. A vertically aligned sector on all disk surfaces within a hard drive.
C. The shaft that runs through the center of each disk surface within a hard drive.
D. The area within the hard drive that encloses all disk platters within the hard drive.
A large number of intermittent SCSI errors are suddenly appearing in a host's log, but the storage array has been verified as fully operational. The link lights on the SAN switch connections have been confirmed. Which of the following should a storage administrator check?
A. Switch zone errors
B. Port errors counters
C. FC cable
D. HBA topology configuration
How many initiators per zone should be used to adhere to BEST SAN zoning practices?
A. One
B. Two
C. Four
D. Unlimited
