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?
A. SATA
B. FC
C. SSD
D. ATA
A colleague asks you if the added cost of using encrypting tape drives and sending the tapes off- site is warranted, since your IT organization already has large security investments such as firewalls and database table encryption.
What is your response?
A. The correct firewall rule set would make encrypted tape drives obsolete, but there has not always been strong confidence in the firewall administrators.
B. Encrypted database tables only protect data against inappropriate access by super users such as database or server administrators abusing root privileges.
C. Encrypt tape drives as part of a defense in depth strategy to ensure that one security mechanism being compromised does not expose all information to a malicious user.
D. The existing firewalls and database table encryption do not replace encrypted tape drives, but implementing an intrusion protection system (IPS) will make tape encryption obsolete.

The customer application requires a 50/50 R/W ratio with 100 MBps throughput requirements for each
direction of the link. The application servers will simultaneously sustain these data rates across all LUNs in parallel.
Referring to the exhibit, where will the oversubscribed link(s) occur?
A. Links between hosts and Switch A
B. Inter-switch link between Switch A and Switch B
C. Inter-switch link between Switch B and Switch C
D. Links between Switch C and storage
After the storage administrator merged two multi-vendor FC SANs, an error indicates that two ports have become isolated causing a segmentation to exist in the fabric.
Which two events would cause this? (Choose two.)
A. Overlapping zones
B. Different port names
C. Unsupported routing protocols
D. Different link speeds
You have been asked to implement a remote data replication scheme. The current data center is mostly constructed of FC components and the corporation is highly invested in the technology. The remote data center needs a synchronous replication solution.
What will accomplish this goal?
A. iSCSI
B. NAS
C. FCIP
D. FCoE
You are asked to secure management access to your SAN devices.
Which three actions should you perform? (Choose three.)
A. Disable all unused protocols.
B. Limit network access.
C. Create individual access accounts.
D. Write to the syslog server.
E. Enable NTP synchronization.
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?
A. Determine the source of duplicate frames.
B. Verify that the host ports are correctly zoned.
C. Find the source of frames with CRC errors.
D. Collect new performance data and compare to the baseline.
