What is appropriate for capturing packets for later analysis of I/O request sizes and randomness on Isilon clusters?
Correct Answer:
A
Where are file system operations initiated on an Isilon node?
Correct Answer:
A
A customer is inquiring about expanding their primary cluster consisting of six S-Series nodes in order to improve performance. They have a second cluster with 11 X-Series nodes. Both clusters leverage 1GbE, but the customer recently installed a 10GbE network that can be utilized. They also have multiple Fibre Channel SAN arrays in their environment.
They have a variety of workloads on each cluster and are in the process of determining which workloads belong on which cluster. They have discovered that one of the workloads- a SQL database that resides on the X-Series node cluster - is experiencing timeouts due to latency. The database vendor has suggested limiting latency to 5ms or less to eliminate these timeouts.
How do you advise the customer?
Correct Answer:
A
Your customer is looking for a storage solution that will be able to store seven million 3 MB files, which are written and seldom accessed. Read and write operations are both completed by a web-based application, which requires 1.3 Gbps throughput. The customer's network has not been upgraded in many years, so the network interfaces are 1Gbps.
Which cluster configuration would best meet the customer's requirements?
Correct Answer:
D
Which type of deduplication is used to maximize the storage efficiently on an Isilon cluster?
