The maximum number of replicated NAS servers supported for the Dell Unity XT 380 series in an asynchronous replication is 126. This is the same as the maximum number of NAS servers supported for the Dell Unity XT 380 series in general. Asynchronous replication is a method of replicating data between two Dell Unity systems with a configurable recovery point objective (RPO). It allows the source system to continue normal operations without waiting for the destination system to acknowledge the completion of the replication.

FAST VP (Fully Automated Storage Tiering for Virtual Pools) is a feature that automatically moves data within a storage pool based on the performance requirements and access patterns of the data. FAST VP data relocation runs in the background according to a user-defined schedule and rate. The schedule determines when the data relocation starts and ends, and the rate determines how much system resources are used for the data relocation. Users can set the Fast VP data relocation rate to High, Medium, Low, or None. High means that the data relocation has the highest priority and uses the most system resources, while None means that the data relocation is disabled. Fast VP data relocation does not run at all times, but only during the scheduled window. Fast VP optimizes data placement by moving 256 MB slices between disk tiers, not 1 GB slices. Users cannot enable or disable FAST VP at the LUN level, but only at the storage pool level.

Host configuration is the process of defining the host properties and access permissions for a host that connects to the Dell Unity XT system. For NFS clients, the host configuration requires two prerequisites:

Network Address: The network address is the IP address or the subnet mask of the NFS client that identifies the host on the network. The network address is used to register the host on the Dell Unity XT system and to grant access to the NFS filesystems.

Hostname: The hostname is the name of the NFS client that is resolved by the DNS server or the local hosts file. The hostname is used to display the host information on the Unisphere UI and to enable host monitoring and alerting.

When the Schedule Time Zone is changed under the Settings menu, it only affects the display of the time zone and the creation of new snapshot schedules. Existing snapshot schedules are not automatically adjusted to the new time zone, and will continue to run at the same absolute time as before. For example, if a snapshot schedule was created to run every day at 10:00 AM in GMT+1, and the Schedule Time Zone was changed to GMT+2, the snapshot schedule will still run at 10:00 AM in GMT+1, which is 11:00 AM in GMT+2. To update the existing snapshot schedules to the new time zone, the administrator must edit each schedule manually and change the start time accordingly. References: Dell EMC Unity: Snapshots and Thin Clones1, page 16.

When Advanced Deduplication is disabled on a LUN, the existing data that was deduplicated remains in its reduced state, and only new data written to the LUN is not deduplicated. To remove the Advanced Deduplication savings from the LUN, the administrator must perform a Local LUN Move operation, which copies the data from the source LUN to a destination LUN without deduplication. The destination LUN must have Advanced Deduplication disabled, and must be in the same storage pool as the source LUN. After the Local LUN Move is completed, the source LUN can be deleted and the destination LUN can be renamed as the original LUN. References: Dell Unity: Data Reduction2, page 9.

To grant access of a Dell Unity XT provisioned NFS datastore to an ESXi host, the permission level required for the host depends on the NFS protocol and authentication method used by the NAS server. For NFSv4 with Kerberos NFS owner authentication, the ESXi host must have the Read/write, enable Root permission level. This allows the ESXi host to read and write data to the datastore, as well as perform administrative tasks such as creating and deleting virtual machines. The Read/write permission level alone is not sufficient, as it does not allow the ESXi host to perform root-level operations on the datastore. The Read-only permission level only allows the ESXi host to read data from the datastore, but not write or modify it. References: Dell EMC Unity: Configuring hosts to access NFS1, page 9.

The Unity XT 680 system supports four types of I/O modules: 12 Gb/s SAS back-end, 4-Port 16 Gb Fibre Channel, 4-Port 25 Gbps Ethernet, and 4-Port 10 Gbps Ethernet. The 12 Gb/s SAS back-end module provides connectivity to the disk drives and expansion enclosures, while the other three types of modules provide network connectivity to the hosts and clients. The Unity XT 680 system has six I/O module slots, three for each SP. The 12 Gb/s SAS back-end module must be installed in slot 0 of each SP, and the other modules can be installed in slots 1 and 2 of each SP. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 12 Gb/s SAS back-end. References:
