Answer : B

The storage administrator is planning for growth and wants to ensure that the system's applications will not crash due to not having enough disk space. The storage administrator is also trying to avoid creating waste by installing more physical disk capacity than is required. Which of the following solutions would the storage administrator implement?

  • A. LUN provisioning
  • B. VLAN assignments
  • C. Thin provisioning
  • D. Load balancing


Answer : C

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.


Answer : B

  • B. D2D2T
  • C. Page checksum
  • D. Backup checksum


Answer : D

Which of the following would MOST easily prevent zoning conflicts and fabric segmentation?

  • A. Ensure zoning information from a new storage switch is cleared before adding it to the fabric.
  • B. Only configure zoning once at installation; reconfigure all switches if zoning must change.
  • C. Create separate fabrics as zoning can only be configured on one switch.
  • D. Configure zoning information on the HBA's not the storage switches.


Answer : A

  • C. Incorporate a new RAID array composed of SATA drives.
  • D. Reduce the current amount of cache used by the controllers.


Answer : B

When enabling Jumbo Frames for iSCSI operations, which of the following is true?

  • A. It is a tunneling feature and only needs to be supported at the endpoints.
