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?
The :”nfs2” file system has been experiencing delays that have been impacting the entire Dell EMC Isilon cluster. Neither Snapshots nor SyncIQ is configured for these directories. Use the “Launch Simulator” button to verify the SSD strategy. Note: It is necessary to ‘close’ (x) the simulator window to answer the question.











Based on your findings, which operation should be performed to address the delays?
A company has two Dell EMC Isilon clusters. The source cluster is running OneFS 8.0.x and the target cluster is running OneFS 7.2.x with replication policies configured from the source to the target cluster. OneFS will not be upgraded on the target cluster.
After some time, the company decided to archive some of the data to ECS using CloudPools. One of the company’s concerns is how the archived data will be replicated using the existing SyncIQ policies. What is recommended approach to address the company’s concerns?
