Which statement describes how drive performance and life is optimized in the Cisco UCS
Invicta appliance?
Answer : B
Explanation: This optimizes block erasing so that storage space is optimally utilized in order topreservethe life of the flash drive.
Which option is the approximate number of input/output operations of a typical solid state drive? (Assume a 4 K block size with 50% writes and 50% reads.)
Answer : C
Explanation: SSD by itself brought an improvement of 100 + from what HDDs used to provide.
Which three options are available on the left navigation bar of the Cisco UCS Invicta appliance dashboard? (Choose three.)
Answer : C,D,E
Which limitation do all flash arrays that use existing architectures suffer from as they scale up?
Answer : E
Which three applications are best able to use performance nodes in the Cisco UCS Invicta scaling solution? (Choose three.)
Answer : A,D,E
Explanation: Performance nodes are more suitable for options A,D & E; the other options wouldtake more advantage of data reduction nodes.
Which option describes the steps used by Cisco UCS Invicta to write to flash?
Answer : B
Explanation:
First UCS Invicta captures write requests, then organizes the data for optimal performance, then data is aligned for RAID protection in order to finally efficiently write data.
Which port on the scaling system router must be used for management only?
Answer : B
Which option is the technology that is used in Cisco UCS Invicta v5.0 to connect a scaling system router to a scaling system node?
Answer : E
Explanation: Explained: InfiniBand connections communicate routers and nodes.
Which option describes how the "RAID penalty" applies to Cisco UCS Invicta?
Answer : B
Explanation: UCS Invicta uses the Block Translation Leyer for write optimization, this cause RAID penalty to be 0 and reads/writes to take almost the same time.
Which mode must the Cisco UCS fabric interconnects be configured in when connecting the Cisco UCS Invicta to the Cisco UCS fabric interconnects through a SAN?
Answer : B
Which option describes why PCIe-based flash solutions are not a strong value proposition for VDI/desktop virtualization?
Answer : B
Explanation: PCIe based solutionmightprovide performance necessary within the calculated threshold, but doesn't scale well when trying to add more virtualization.
Which two challenges do scale-up storage architectures have? (Choose two.)
Answer : B,D
Which option must be considered when sizing a Cisco UCS Invicta appliance or Cisco UCS
Invicta scaling system node?
Answer : D
Which option describes valid targets for asynchronous replication?
Answer : E
Explanation:
Whether you're in a Scaling System or Appliance, replication is only possible to Scaling
System or to an open target runing Windows or Linux.
Which option describes how storage system scalability is achieved in a scale-up approach?
Answer : C
