A server with a dual-ported HBA loses access to storage during switch SFP replacement. You want to prevent this from happening in the future.
Which action should you perform?
You need to implement a solution for a high transaction database which should have the lowest write latency as possible and still be able to sustain a failure of a single drive in a RAID group.
Which type of RAID you would use?
You want to visibly verify FC port initialization by reading an analyzer trace. Your objective is to find the frames associated with the initialization protocol to ensure that the FC device is operating correctly during the login process, to be recognized as part of the switched fabric, and appear in a directory of attached FC devices.
What must all Fibre Channel devices do to accomplish this?
You want to prevent unauthorized switches from connecting to your company's fabrics.
What should you do?
A server has lost half of its paths to its LUN on a storage system. The help desk determines that one of the two HBAs was just replaced. The SAN administrator has modified the zoning with the new WWPN of the replacement HBA port, but the missing paths have still not recovered.
Which action would you perform next?
A company has a storage subsystem that supports a variety of replication options. They have purchased an identical array and placed it at a secondary site 4,200 km away and want to keep the two arrays as closely synchronized as possible.
Which solution should be chosen?
Only one of many servers has poor performance within an enterprise SAN. The server administrator has found high disk timeout values without a decrease in throughput. The server has multiple paths to the storage system but only one path is active at this time.
What should the storage administrator monitor to assist with troubleshooting?
You are designing a security solution for a storage array which stores customer credit card information. Data on the storage array must be encrypted and if necessary, you want to be able to revoke access to data on demand.
In addition to encryption, which solution would allow you to do this in a secure and automated fashion?
You are asked to set up a server to boot from a SAN.
Which setting on the HBA needs to be configured?
Click the Exhibit button.
Referring to the configuration shown in the exhibit, when will the servers oversubscribe the connections between the storage array and the switch?
You have been hired as a consultant to help resolve boot-from-SAN server reboots. The company has hosts, storage devices, and tape drives in the same zones. A large number of RSCNs are generated during the backup window.
What is the cause of the problem?
