NCA Exam - Question 30


Refer to the exhibit.

After an abrupt power outage, an administrator receives a number of alerts indicating disks are failed. Prism Element shows a large number of disks offline as seen in the diagram. This single block, four node cluster is configured FT1 with an RF2 container holding all user data.

What number of drive failures on different domains (node, block, or rack) could this configuration have tolerated prior to seeing data unavailability?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

The configuration described uses FT1 with RF2, which typically means that the system can tolerate one component failure, such as a single disk or node, without seeing data unavailability. Therefore, the number of drive failures on different domains (node, block, or rack) that this configuration could have tolerated prior to seeing data unavailability is 1.
