HP0-815 Online Practice Questions and Answers

In many cases, the growth pattern for a storage installation is difficult or impossible to predict. To accommodate this unpredictability, the SAN architect should allow for growth within a predefined design that _____.

A. uses the ring switch topology as the initial installation

B. is a subset of the mesh for a smaller configuration

C. uses the cascaded switch topology as the initial installation

D. uses the initial installation as a subset of a larger pre-designed configuration

How could you scale a SAN's performance?

A. ensure fabric parameters on both fabrics are identical

B. replace low speed switches with higher speed switches

C. reduce buffer-to-buffer credits for a single switch in the fabric

D. change one switch Domain ID at a time to minimize I/O interruption

A. replication algorithm

B. DWDM devices

C. ISLs

D. switch internal routing

In IP networks, which two best practices should site planning include? (Choose two.)

C. create a design that will accommodate additional storage I/O without impacting normal data traffic

D. use only one controller pair per FCIP link to avoid link congestion

For what are SAN extensions used?
