A server administrator notices when a specific server is rebooted its SAN storage is sometimes visible and sometimes it is not. After examining the SAN switch logs, no FLOGI message has been received on that port. Which HBA parameter is a most likely cause?

A. Port Link/Speed is set to Autonegotiate.

B. WWPN reset timeout is set too low.

C. R_A_TOV does not match.

D. HBA Port Type is set to "EPort"

A storage configuration was created which stores large amounts of infrequently used documents. The storage implementation is based on serial attached SCSI (SAS) and an edge expander. Almost all ports are utilized, and a second edge expander will be installed. What is required to connect SATA devices to the SAS domain?

A. SASSATA adapter

B. SASSATA protocol converter

C. cable with two SATA connectors

D. cable with a SAS and a SATA connector

You are diagnosing a performance problem with a Fibre Channel attached server that is configured to run multipathing with dynamic I/O load balancing. You are not seeing the expected performance. You have determined that the server configuration is correct and that the fabric paths are not congested. What could be a possible cause for the lower than expected performance?

A. storage ports are configured to run half duplex

B. storage architecture is cache centric

C. storage ports are configured to run full duplex

D. storage architecture is controller centric

What is the primary reason for making an adjustment to the queue depth?

A. number of LUNs presented to the HBA changes

B. average size of I/O blocks going through the HBA changes

C. read/write ratio of I/O going through the HBA changesread/write ratio of I/O? going through the HBA changes

D. size of cache on the storage system changes

Identify the zoning object that is hardware enforced.

A. alias

B. E_Port

C. zone set

D. F_Port

What must you do to implement boot from a Fibre Channel SAN in your server infrastructure?

A. Configure the SAN Boot setting on the Fibre Channel HBA.

B. Enable direct disk access on the SAN switch.

C. Enable the BIOS on the Fibre Channel HBA.

D. Perform a loopback data test on the Fibre Channel HBA.

A minor power outage (brownout) has caused you to reboot all of the equipment in your infrastructure. After successful reboots, some of the storage devices are missing from the fabric configuration. Which action could fix the problems?

A. replace the effected HBAs with new ones

B. restore the active zoneset from a backup

C. restore the HBA configurations from backups

D. replace the missing storage devices with new ones

You have diagnosed that a FC HBA has failed. You need to replace it quickly to complete the overnight data transfer. The only card you have available is a PCIX 2.0 version running at 533MHz. The failed HBA was inserted into a PCIX shared bus slot. What will be the result if you insert this new HBA into the same slot?

A. HBA will run at 533MHz.

B. HBA will run at 266MHz.

C. HBA will run at 133MHz.

D. HBA will run at 100MHz.

Which three (3) backup methods support application recovery of a database? (Choose three.)

A. Use software snapshot technology that takes a point in time snapshot.

B. Cold backup method where the database services have been stopped before the backup.

C. CopyonWrite technology built into the database that can be used by backup software.

D. File system backup method including transaction log needed to run the backup and restore.

E. Copy the database folder to another location and back up the files in the normal fashion.

The customer has an existing fabric switches installed from one manufacturer. They have decided to add a redundant fabric using switches from a different manufacturer. Interoperability is their main concern. What is important when considering interoperability in the SAN?

A. switch interoperability mode

B. HBA firmware/driver code

C. zone naming convention

D. virtualization engine
