What accurately describes virtual SAN (VSAN) trunking?
- A . Reduces the utilization of ISLs by removing all the ISLs configured between the FC switches.
- B . Increases the number of E_ports used for the ISLs to transfer multiple VSAN traffic.
- C . Increases the complexity of managing the FC SAN with an increase in the number of ISLs.
- D . Reduces the number of ISLs between switches that are configured with multiple VSANs.
What does the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) measure in information availability?
- A . The time it takes to backup data
- B . The time it takes to restore a backup
- C . The maximum tolerable duration of a disruption
- D . The amount of data loss that’s acceptable during a disruption
What is a benefit of using the FCoE storage protocol?
- A . Fewer physical storage systems are required when using FC SAN and iSCSI enabled storage systems.
- B . Fewer physical storage systems are required when using FC SAN and FCoE enabled storage systems.
- C . Fewer physical Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet switches are required
- D . Fewer physical host Ethernet network adapters are required when using CNA adapters.
D
Explanation:
This is because CNA adapters can support both FC and Ethernet traffic over a single cable2, reducing the need for separate host adapters for each protocol. The other options do not seem to be direct benefits of using FCoE protocol.
An Ethernet switch has eight ports and all ports must be operational for 24 hours; from Monday through Friday.
However, a failure of Port 2 occurs as follows:
– Monday = 5 PM to 9 PM
– Wednesday = 4 PM to 9 PM
– Friday = 6 AM to 9 AM
– Sunday = 9 AM to 1 PM
What is the MTBF of Port 2?
- A . 26 hours
- B . 36 hours
- C . 38 hours
- D . 40 hours
What role does an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) play in protecting a storage infrastructure?
- A . Encrypts data at rest
- B . Monitors network traffic for suspicious activity
- C . Provides physical security to storage devices
- D . Manages user access rights
Refer to the exhibit:
Which operation is represented?
- A . Write-through wrong
- B . Read Hit
- C . Read Miss
- D . Write-back
What is a function of a virtual machine manager?
- A . Abstracts physical hardware and presents it to a virtual machine
- B . Sends resource requests from multiple virtual machines to the hypervisor kernel
- C . Maps the virtual machine hardware to the hypervisor kernel
- D . Presents resource requests from a virtual machine directly to physical hardware
What is an impact of a Denial-of-Service attack?
- A . Privileges are intentionally misused to compromise data security
- B . User’s credentials are eavesdropped by the attacker
- C . Computing resources are exhausted and made unavailable to users
- D . User’s accounts and data are compromised by malicious insiders
