Question 1 of 56

An engineer needs to migrate a volume from a live production pool to a newly created pool, but is unable to do so.

What must the engineer do before the migration can start?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

Note: You can move a volume to a different storage pool only if the new pool has free space equal to the size of the volume and any snapshot reserve and local replication reserve for the volume. If the pool does not have enough space, the volume will not move.

Question 2 of 56

A customer needs a full, permanent, point-in-time, local copy of the data.

Which Dell PS Series feature should be configured to meet the requirement?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

Snapshots are point-in-time copies of volumes that capture the contents of a volume at a specific point in time and are often used to recover data lost by events such as human error, viruses, or database corruption.
When a snapshot is created, it does not consume any space, but instead is only a set of pointers to the data in the base volume.

Answer choices

With RAID 6 data production is assured with a two-drive failure.
Incorrect Answers:
A: With RAID 5 data production is assured with a two-drive failure.
C: With RAID 10 data production is assured with up to one disk failure in each sub-array.
D: With RAID 50 data production is assured with up to one disk failure in each sub-array.

Question 4 of 56

A technician is setting up a 10 GbE PS Series group SAN using 10 GbE switches in a converged iSCSI network.

What is recommended to set up this group to ensure good performance and delivery?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

The arrival of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) along with the Data Center Bridging (DCB) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) specifications holds the promise of a truly converged network fabric.
0GbE offers the necessary throughput to help accomplish the Unified network fabric for a convergence paradigm, and the DCB specification is the last piece of the convergence paradigm that is falling into place.
Note: The DCB specification provides a set of standards-based extensions to traditional Ethernet, offering a lossless data center transport layer that allows the convergence of LANs and SAN.

Question 5 of 56

An installer needs to set up a PS Series group using the recommended iSCSI network architecture.

What is required for this setup?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

Redundant network switches protect against network and switch failures and improve network performance.
Requirement: Requires redundant network connections.
1. Distribute redundant network connections across multiple switches.
2. Connect switches to links with sufficient inter-switch bandwidth.
Incorrect Answers:
B, D: The minimum network configuration is a single-point-of-failure configuration. A network interface failure, control module failure, or network or switch failure causes the member and any volumes with data to go offline until you correct the problem. If it is the only member in the group, the group becomes inaccessible from the network.
To increase performance and availability, Dell recommends that you expand the minimum network configuration

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
