Case Study 5 – Refer to the Exhibit.
Backing up data from a Dell EMC Isilon cluster exceeds the company’s backup window. Because the company has a large amount of data with a continuous high growth rate, they want to change their backup strategy. The Gen 6 Isilon cluster consists of 24 nodes.
Their current backup strategy is an NDMP three-way backup performing weekly full backups to tape and incremental backups each night. The strategy uses Dell EMC NetWorker. The DMA uses Include paths to specify what data to backup. All data on the cluster must remain accessible.
The company’s IT team is now looking for a method to increase the performance of their backups. After some investigation, you notice that the backup job targets two paths. This could be the cause of the lengthy backup times.
What advice should be provided to the team?
A Dell EMC Isilon cluster is configured with multiple 10Gb connections. Clients connect to the cluster using high speed links through a routed network. The cluster is configured with SmartConnect zones and servers NFSv3 clients. Network traffic and speeds appear steady. However, the administrator wants to ensure the cluster network performance is optimal.
What can help optimize network performance in this environment?
A company has purchased a new Dell EMC Isilon cluster as a disaster recovery solution and plans to use SyncIQ. SBR is not currently enabled. The systems administrator has asked for advice about how to configure the network connectivity for the replication traffic.
What are Dell EMC recommendations for a replication network configuration?
