● Friday= 5 AM to11 AM
What is the MTTR of Port 7?
- A . 36 hours
- B . 5 hours
- C . 7 hours
- D . 33 hours
C
Explanation:
To calculate MTTR, we need to convert the hours into minutes. Here are the steps:
Monday: Port 7 was down from 4 PM to 11 PM. That’s 7 hours or 420 minutes.
Wednesday: Port 7 was down from 2 PM to 10 PM. That’s 8 hours or 480 minutes.
Friday: Port 7 was down from 5 AM to11 AM. That’s 6 hours or 360 minutes.
Total corrective maintenance time = 420 + 480 + 360 = 1260 minutes Number of repairs = 3
MTTR = Total corrective maintenance time / Number of repairs
MTTR = 1260 / 3 = 420 minutes
Therefore, the MTTR of Port 7 is 420 minutes.
Which hypervisor component is responsible for assigning system resources to a virtual machine?
- A . VNC
- B . VMM
- C . VMC
- D . VMDK
What is the role of access control in a storage infrastructure?
