EMC Dell PowerScale Design v2 - D-PSC-DS-01 Exam Practice Test
How many Z9264 switches are required for a A3000 cluster consisting of 160 nodes using a 25 GbE for a complete back-end network?
Correct Answer: D
We have been engaged by a research hospital to help upgrade their Isilon installation. They currently have 12 previous generation Isilon nodes with 200 TB of capacity and run on a 1Gbps network.
They currently have 6 Illumina Hi-Seq Sequencers and an HPC cluster to process dat
a. They would like to expand Isilon to 2 PB of active data and 1 PB of archive data. They use a third party data and metadata management service (IRODs) to stage data for analysis. The Isilon cluster is mainly used for analysis work with the HPC cluster.
Before making any changes, the customer would like a graphical presentation of their existing array performance to present to management.
What is the best tool to gather this information?

A customer requires 4 PB of media storage with minimal space requirements and is concerned about drive rebuild times.
Which PowerScale capabilities address these concerns?
Which PowerScale capabilities address these concerns?
Correct Answer: D
A PowerScale cluster has two ports that are configured per node. Each port is on a different VLAN. Although incoming traffic is evenly distributed, transmitted data from PowerScale uses one port more than the other port.
