A SAN environment with zones containing a large number of members is experiencing hosts randomly, losing connectivity to SAN-attached storage resources. You have been asked by the customer to address this situation.
Which action should you implement to resolve this issue?
Your CTO is concerned over misuse of corporate storage assets because an employee was found to be hosting a music library on one of the SANs storage arrays. You have been instructed to provide some level of device security to the corporate FC SAN. FC has a number of cost-effective (free) industry standard protection mechanisms that provide or restrict user access to SAN resources.
Which two FC provided mechanisms would you implement first? (Choose two.)
A new FC switch has been installed into the data center. You want to disable any unsecure protocols used to access the management ports.
Which two protocols should be disabled? (Choose two.)
A solution architect needs to know how your switches enforce zoning. The enforcement method and identification type being used in your current FC switches must provide the highest level of security.
Which zoning enforcement should you use?
After provisioning a new LUN to a host, new storage cannot be detected on the host. Which three actions should be performed to troubleshoot this problem? (Choose three.)
You have a new storage array with the following drive types:
1. SAS (6 Gbps)
2. SSD
3. SATA (6 Gbps)
4. FC(4Gbps)
You need to decide which drive type to use based on speed, cost, and drive availability for your Tier 1 storage.
Which type of drive would you choose?
You have been asked to implement a remote data replication scheme. The current data center is mostly constructed of FC components and the corporation is highly invested in the technology. The remote data center needs a synchronous replication solution.
What will accomplish this goal?
You have received an emergency call from the night shift after they attempted to merge three small SANs in the engineering department. Once completed, all devices in SANs A and B communicate with one another but SAN C could not communicate with either of the other SANs because the fabric has become segmented.
Which statement is correct?
You receive a ticket from a database group which is complaining about slow access to storage on only one particular server, as compared to other servers in an active-active cluster. You verify zoning and LUN masking which are fine. On the FC switch, you verify link speed, errors, and throughput for the FC switch ports used by this server. There are no errors on the ports and the link speed is the same as on the switch ports used by other servers in the cluster. You notice that on one port on the FC switch used by this server, that there is no throughput at all.
What is causing the problem?
Which type of storage replication is required, at a minimum, for a non-critical application?
