S10-210 Practice Exam Questions with Answers Storage Networking Management and Administration Certification

You have been asked to secure your FC switches in the data center. Unsecure protocols have already been disabled but you also need to restrict access to the switches only from specific IP addresses located on the production network.

What should be used?

You want to prevent unauthorized switches from connecting to your company's fabrics.

What should you do?

What are two concerns when trying to migrate from one cloud storage provider to another one? (Choose two.)

Only one of many servers is suffering poor performance with a nearline (Tier 2) storage system. The server administrator has not discovered any obvious root cause. The server has multiple paths to the storage system but only one path is active. Routine monitoring by the storage administrator has determined that a single storage port has received a high number of bad frames.

What should the SAN administrator do?

Two different departments have funded the purchase of a new director-class switch. Each department wants to have control of the fabric. Two logical switches will need to be created, each with its own set of administrators.

Which feature must be enabled on the switch to do this?

When troubleshooting an issue on a host, you discover that the existing file system partition has been corrupted after you provisioned a LUN to another host connected to the same FC fabric.

What is the cause of this problem?

You have a server which is booting from a SAN. After adding new SAN storage to a host, the host will not boot from the SAN.

What will resolve this problem?

You are provisioning storage to a host with multipathing software installed and correctly configured. You discover that there are four paths to LUNs instead of the expected eight paths.

Why does this happen?

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?

Which protocol is represented by the frame shown in the exhibit?

A small business with an IP SAN and NAS storage is experiencing slow response times on the servers which have NAS storage resources.

Which two should the storage administrator monitor to determine the root cause? (Choose two.)

The system administrator has received complaints about the decreased performance of two LUNs. When you investigate the port being used to connect to the LUNs, you discover that the port has achieved its maximum throughput. You also discover that there are other ports available on the storage array that are not oversubscribed.

Which specific driver is needed to balance workloads between the host and storage?

You need to merge two existing FC fabrics. After connecting the ISL to join the fabrics, numerous switches segment.

What should be done to prevent the segmentation?

A SAN environment with zones containing a large number of members is experiencing hosts randomly, losing connectivity to SAN-attached storage resources. You have been asked by the customer to address this situation.

Which action should you implement to resolve this issue?

You have determined that the root cause of your problem is related to invalid characters being intermittently transmitted on your 4 Gb FC link.

What describes this condition?

You have two new FC switches from the same vendor and want to connect them together. You have ensured that the domain IDs are unique, switch names are unique, and the firmware levels are identical. When you connect the ISL cables from one switch to the other, the fabric does not merge.

What should be confirmed?

You determine that throughput between a server and an FC storage array is lower than expected.

Your privileges only allow you to change the configuration of the HBA on the server.

Which configuration setting can you change to increase throughput?

Five out of 4S servers using one particular enterprise storage system are experiencing performance degradation during normal working hours. All 48 servers have similar workload characteristics. There are multiple disk groups that make up your enterprise storage.

What should be monitored to determine the root cause?

A company wants to implement a database which requires a storage subsystem with no more than 2 ms write latency and 1 ms read latency.

Which type of drive would you use?

Which type of a backup changes the archive bit?

A customer has upgraded all switches in their redundant fabrics during a single maintenance window. Shortly after the upgrades are completed on the core switches, all servers lose access to all SAN attached storage.

What would have prevented this scenario?

You have a file system which allows data and metadata segregation.

How should you accelerate read I/O on the file system while keeping costs low?

Click the Exhibit button.

Referring to the exhibit, what are the two largest risks to a highly available solution? (Choose two.)

You have been hired to consult with storage administrators that are working with zoning and naming convention consistency issues. There are numerous types of zoning methods available using standards that also include aliasing. You want to use a method that guarantees unique global port identification.

What accomplishes this goal?
