You have been tasked with designing a solution for a company that wants to logically
separate access to their Isilon storage by department. Each of their major internal
departments currently uses different Active Directory authentication providers. In addition,
they want to provide Isilon storage access to these departments while maintaining their
authentication separation.
Which feature will provide this functionality?

A.

Access Zones

B.

Network Segmentation

C.

Multi-Homing

D.

VLAN Trunking

A customer created one month of snapshots; one snapshot every 8 hours for 30 days on an Isilon cluster using SnapshotIQ. They are now deleting the snapshots randomly and
experiencing overhead to the cluster.
How can the snapshots be removed while avoiding the overhead caused by this process?

A.

Delete the snapshots in order

B.

Use SmartPools to move the snapshot data to a different tier

C.

Snapshots cannot be deleted

D.

Remove the directory

When designing Isilon solutions, which issue should you pay special attention to?

A.

Meet customer expectations

B.

Create a workflow document

C.

Conduct stakeholder interviews

D.

Follow all SSD sizing rules

Your customer manages a print media environment, consisting of three Isilon clusters,
which are out of support. The customer would like to have access to new software releases
and feature sets. You have been asked to perform a full discovery of the customer’s
environment.
The customer's current Isilon clusters are as follows:
“Cust” (12 x 12000X) serves as upload media storage for different tenants.
“Working” (8 x 12000X + 6 x X200) serves as a working zone for extraction to RAW and
printing media from it.
“Archive” (16 x 72NL + Accelerator nodes) is used to store printed content for six months.
The customer operates in a Windows environment using SMB 2.0, two DNS servers per
AD forest, three forest domains which are servicing three different environments. All
servers are operating on a 1Gb network, three VLANs segregating the DEV/QA/PROD
environments. Currently, there is no monitoring in place for performance measurement or
optimization.
The requirements for this solution include:
Better ROI and TCO
Maintain same performance with possible improvements
Renew HW/SW and get inclusive support
Limit migrations
Reduce space, power, cooling consumption
Get new feature sets
If migration required, use Parallel copy (multiple nodes, multiple threads, multiple
connections)
Segregate tenant shares from other tenants
Expand up to 1PB of total storage
What would you recommend be done to consolidate the three clusters into one?

A.

Expand the largest and most I/O intensive cluster using SmartFail• Consolidate the remaining two clusters using Multithreaded version of RoboCopy• Modify A-Record and propagate to all DNS servers to point to the new cluster

B.

Leave the clusters as is• Upgrade drive sizes to meet the customer requirements

C.

Expand the largest and most I/O intensive cluster using SmartFail• Consolidate the remaining two clusters using SyncIQ

D.

Build a new cluster for consolidation• Use SnapshotIQ to migrate the existing data onto the new consolidated cluster• Spoof DNS to point to the new cluster

A customer is configuring Isilon SmartConnect. They have determined that their workload primarily consists of short-lived connections, such as HTTP and FTP.
Which load-balancing policy provides the most efficient client distribution?

A.

CPU Utilization

B.

Round Robin

C.

Connection Count

A customer wants to replace a legacy storage environment used for high definition video editing. Each workstation connecting to the shared storage needs to sustain 650 MB/s of single stream bandwidth.
Which node type is recommended?

A.

Accelerator nodes

B.

NL-Series nodes

C.

X-Series nodes

D.

S-Series nodes
