A customer has grown 2 PB in the last year. The cluster performs well most times of the day, but occasionally during the day, the customer notices a decrease in performance. You have been told that ‘tree-deletes’ are taking too long and can only be run on weekends.
What would you recommend to speed up the ‘tree-deletes’?

1. A. Add an SSD node tier for metadata to account for at least 2% of RAW capacity
2. B. Use an A100 node for added CPU performance to help with ‘tree-deletes.’
3. C. Add 20% more nodes to the cluster to help with degraded performance.
4. D. Add an SSD tier for metadata, ensuring all nodes have SSDs.

Correct Answer: A

A customer plans to deploy N+2:1 protection on a 5-node Isilon cluster. How much capacity will be used to store a 1024 KiB file?

1. A. 1024 KiB
2. B. 1280 KiB
3. C. 1792 KiB
4. D. 1920 KiB

Correct Answer: B

Your customer has observed a degradation in response time while browsing for media files within the Production Media folder of the Isilon cluster. That directory now contains over five million files. It was confirmed that there are no network or edit station related causes.
What changes to the Isilon cluster will best accelerate the browsing performance?

1. A. Add Solid State Drives (SSDs) to the nodes
2. B. Add A-Series Performance Accelerator nodes
3. C. Upgrade node access to 10 Gbps
4. D. Upgrade RAM on the nodes

Correct Answer: A

Refer to the exhibit.

You want to add redundancy to your network configuration, rather than performance. You have configured all interfaces into the default SmartConnect zone.
How should you configure the switches and Isilon networking to provide your desired network redundancy?

1. A. Configure the switch ports for LACP and use LACP aggregation for subnet0:pool0.
2. B. Configure the switch ports as access points and use LACP aggregation for subnet0:pool0.
3. C. Configure the switch ports for LACP and use FEC aggregation for subnet0:pool0.
4. D. Configure the switch ports as access points, bond ext-0 and ext-1 on all nodes and use Active/Passive aggregation for subnet0:pool0.

Correct Answer: A

If a file is 4 KB in size, how much space is consumed for file data when it is written to the Isilon cluster?

1. A. 4 KB
2. B. 8 KB
3. C. 16 KB
4. D. 32 KB

Correct Answer: B
