Question 1 of 55

An IT team is preparing to replicate a dataset from their existing primary Dell EMC Isilon cluster to a secondary cluster. Both clusters are licensed for SmartLock Enterprise and SyncIQ is used for replication. The source directory is a SmartLock directory and the target directory must be a SmartLock directory.
When consulting with the IT team, what is a key consideration before running the replication policy?

Enable WORM on the target directory after the initial synchronization.

Allow OneFS to create the target directory automatically.

Manually create target SmartLock directory before replicating.

Specify the “root” user that can delete files committed to a WORM state.

Correct Answer: B

Question 2 of 55

SyncIQ policies are being configured between two Dell EMC Isilon clusters at a company’s location. In addition, the company wants the ability to perform a failover at an Access zone level. Which actions should be performed to meet the requirement?

Create one NS record delegation per cluster.
NS record should always point directly to the cluster SSIP address.

Create one NS record delegation per SmartConnect zone.
NS record should always point to an “A” record containing the zone SSIP.

Create one NS record delegation per SmartConnect zone.
NS record should always point directly to the SmartConnect zone IP address.

Create one NS record delegation per cluster.
NS record should always point to an “A” record containing the cluster SSIP address.

Correct Answer: C

Question 3 of 55

A company uses the Dell EMC Isilon cluster’s A200 nodes for short-team archiving of digitized film. Historical and trending information shows that the cluster capacity will reach 90% full in 60 days. To avoid the need to purchase additional A200 nodes, the company requires a solution that archives data not accessed for 18 months to a more cost-effective platform. The long-term archive data must be online and accessible. Some performance loss is acceptable.
Which IT strategy provides a long-term solution that meets the requirements?

Use data deduplication on achieved data accessed within 180 days

Use SyncIQ to replicate the archive to the H600 nodes on the secondary cluster

Use NDMP to backup to disk using compression and deduplication

Use a CloudPools policy to move the target data to an ECS-powered cloud

Correct Answer: C

Question 4 of 55

A company uses a Dell EMC Isilon cluster to store greater than one billion files. The company often restores files from NDMP backups.
Which backup technology is recommended for the environment?

Two-way NDMP restore

Directory DAR

Three-way NDMP restore

Direct Access restore

Correct Answer: B

Question 5 of 55

A company is planning to replicate a dataset to a newly implemented Dell EMC Isilon cluster. SyncIQ will be used from the source cluster to the target cluster. The company’s systems administrator wants to know how long the initial synchronization will take without seeding. The administrator provides the following information:
Link speed between clusters is 1 Gb/s
Link speed efficiency is 85%

SyncIQ domain size is 125TB -
If no SyncIQ performance rules are set, what is the estimated number of days?

Correct Answer: A
