DEE-1421 Expert - Isilon Solutions Exam Questions and Answers

A company has two Dell EMC Isilon clusters. The source cluster is running OneFS 8.0.x and the target cluster is running OneFS 7.2.x with replication policies configured from the source to the target cluster. OneFS will not be upgraded on the target cluster.

After some time, the company decided to archive some of the data to ECS using CloudPools. One of the company’s concerns is how the archived data will be replicated using the existing SyncIQ policies. What is recommended approach to address the company’s concerns?

Case Study 4

A company is experiencing a noticeable decrease in performance when accessing data on their Dell EMC Isilon cluster. The cluster hosts Microsoft Windows home directories and general purpose file shares. In addition, a file pool policy moves data that has not been modified in six months to an achieve tier. The administrator wants your assistance in understanding the reason for the slow data access. The number of users accessing the cluster has not changed. The administrator has shared the following baseline metrics. The outputs were captured from a performance- acceptable time frame.

Trace route shows:

-3 hops between clients and the cluster

-Average latency is 3 ms

Iperf shows:

-940 Mb/s average bandwidth

-005 ms average jitter

Netstat on the local network shows:

-05% average re-transmission rate

Hostcache list:

-20 ms average roundtrip time across all clients

The administrator shows you the details of the hostcahce.list output. The output indicates that the top clients on the list have an average of 242 ms round trip time. Based on the output, what information should be provided to the administrator?

A company has a Dell EMC Isilon cluster that will be used for a large amount of client requests. SmartConnect has been configured to help load balance the clients across the cluster. How does SmartConnect help the load balancing?

An IT team is implementing a disaster recovery solution. A Dell EMC Isilon cluster will replicate production data from the existing primary cluster to a planned secondary cluster. The primary cluster is licensed for SmartLock Enterprise whereas the secondary cluster is not.

A SmartLock enterprise type directory on the primary cluster is planned for replication. SyncIQ is used to replicate the data. What is a key consideration when replacing the WORM domain?

The administrator shows the following traceroute output:

• 6 hops between clients and the cluster
• Average latency is 84 ms
