Which statement about B-series (Brocade) and M-series (McDATA) fabric switches is true?
A. B-series fabric switches require a license to increase the buffer-to-buffer credits while M-series do not.
B. B-series and M-series fabric switches require a license to increase the buffer-to-buffer credits.
C. B-series and M-series fabric switches do NOT require a license to increase the buffer-to-buffer credits.
D. M-series fabric switches require a license to increase the buffer-to-buffer credits while B-series do not.
What is the most important thing to do when implementing a backup/restore solution?
A. size the backup solution
B. ensure that the storage arrays can replicate data between two arrays
C. select the backup device technology, DLT or LTO
D. purchase licenses for the servers
Backbone SANs are best suited for what type of traffic?
A. localized
B. many-to-one
C. many-to-many
D. one-to-one
For what are SAN extensions used?
A. business rules that decrease management overhead
B. business continuance in case of site failure
C. business policies that extend across the SAN
D. high-speed business process engineering
A customer currently performs a full backup of a 1 TB LUN on an application server attached to the SAN using an internal tape drive in the server. They want a SAN-based backup that centralizes their backups and minimizes the downtime of their application. Initially, the customer only wants to back up the changes to the data as they already have a full backup. Which solution meets this business need?
A. clone + differential backup
B. clone + incremental backup
C. snapshot + incremental backup
D. clone + full backup
E. snapshot + differential backup
F. snapshot + full backup
What does a SAN high availability configuration provide?
A. a non-disruptive upgrade process of theiSCSI protocol definitions
B. the capability to test new switch firmware in a production environment
C. a non-disruptive merging of multiple SANs
D. non-disruptive SNMP messages to the system management framework
What are two reasons for using the SAN architecture approach? (Choose two.)
A. to simplify SAN storage infrastructure resources in a unified direction
B. to provide business-related rationale for SAN infrastructure investment
C. to align SAN infrastructure with business processes and priorities
D. to minimize SAN technology transitions and establish long-term SAN standards and framework
What is a best practice for large scale SANs and SAN scaling?
A. implement many-to-one-to-many connectivity in the topology with an adequate number of ports to support future storage virtualization/expansion
B. implement any-to-any connectivity in the topology with an adequate number of ports to support future storage virtualization/expansion
C. implement one-to-one connectivity in the topology with an adequate number of ports to support future storage virtualization/expansion
D. implement many-to-one connectivity in the topology with an adequate number of ports to support future storage virtualization/expansion
What happens in the Storage Assessment phase of the SAN architecture approach? (Choose three.)
A. selection and establishment of guidelines models, principles, and standards for the SAN
B. description of the feasibility of an effective solution based on obstacles and constraints
C. an inventory of systems, software, employee skills, and internal processes/documentation
D. analysis and documentation of business requirements, organization, physical environment, networks, and infrastructure management
E. Business data is classified, utilization of data is explored, ownership and usage statistics of application volumes on systems are reported.
