Dell XtremIO Deploy Achievement Questions and Answers
Question 17
When will an administrator receive an alert when "Small IO Alerts" are set to "enabled"?
Options:
A.
I/Os <2 KB are detected
B.
I/Os <8 KB are detected
C.
I/Os <1 KB are detected
D.
I/Os <4 KB are detected
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The “Small IO Alerts” feature in XtremIO is designed to notify administrators when a significant number of small I/O operations are detected, which could potentially impact the performance of the storage array. The threshold for these alerts is typically set to a default value that considers the architecture and performance characteristics of the system. In the case of XtremIO, the alert is triggered when I/O operations are smaller than 4 KB1. This threshold is set based on the understanding that smaller I/O sizes can lead to inefficient utilization of the storage array’s resources and can be an indicator of suboptimal application behavior or configuration.
Question 18
A systems administrator wants to add an XtremlO cluster to their VPLEX environment. Which activity must the administrator perform first?
Options:
A.
Create a minimum of two Initiator groups
B.
Create and map volumes dedicated to VPLEX
C.
Zone the VPLEX to XtremIO Storage Controllers
D.
Provision storage to the host
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Zoning: Zoning is the process of configuring which devices can communicate with each other on a storage network.
VPLEX and XtremIO: The first step in adding an XtremIO cluster to a VPLEX environment is to zone the VPLEX to the XtremIO Storage Controllers.
Initial Configuration: This step ensures that the VPLEX can recognize and communicate with the XtremIO storage, which is necessary before proceeding with other configurations.
