A customer currently performs a full backup of a 1 TB LUN on an application server attached to the SAN using an internal tape drive in the server. They want a SAN-based backup that centralizes their backups and minimizes the downtime of their application. Initially, the customer only wants to back up the changes to the data as they already have a full backup. Which solution meets this business need?
A. clone + full backup
B. snapshot + full backup
C. snapshot + incremental backup
D. clone + incremental backup
E. snapshot + differential backup
F. clone + differential backup
In IP networks, which two best practices should site planning include? (Choose two.)
A. minimize the amount data transferred over the FCIP link(s)
B. merge the FCIP network with your corporate network for better management
C. create a design that will accommodate additional storage I/O without impacting normal data traffic
D. use only one controller pair per FCIP link to avoid link congestion
What are three characteristics of the M-series (McDATA) High Availability Fabric Manager? (Choose three.)
A. single switch management
B. provides in-band management
C. is embedded in theMcDATA switch/director firmware
D. provides out-of-band management
E. is a separate software package
F. multiple switch management
What virtualization model is used in the Continuous Access Storage Appliance (CASA)?
A. symmetrical pooling or also called in-band virtualization
B. either symmetrical or asymmetrical selected at the initial configuration
C. asymmetrical pooling or also called out-band virtualization
D. out-band management of symmetrical virtual objects
You are implementing a SAN solution. When should a SAN architecture be created?
A. anytime
B. when the SAN is being designed
C. before any design or implementation
D. when the SAN is implemented
A SAN administrator must implement a new SAN and is told that the primary data access will be one-to-one. Which two SAN topologies are optimized for this data access pattern? (Choose two.)
A. ring
B. cascaded
C. meshed
D. tree backbone
What are three characteristics of the M-series (McDATA) High Availability Fabric Manager? (Choose three.)
