A customer's cluster contains three X200 (24 GB RAM, 3 TB drives) nodes, and three X400 (48 GB RAM, 1 TB drives) nodes. All nodes are configured in a single pool. All data is protected at N+2. After upgrading OneFS to 7.0, the Isilon Web interface indicates that files are not fully protected.
What should be done to correct this situation?

1. A. Recreate the original pool using the Isilon Web interface
2. B. Add 24 GB RAM to each of the X200 nodes
3. C. Recreate the original pool using the command line interface

Correct Answer: C

A customer plans to replace an existing array that is supported by the MiTrend Workload Profile Assessment (WPA) service. You receive performance data from the customer and run a WPA report that shows the array has 50TB of usable capacity.
In discussions with the customer, you learn the content is comprised of four million 6MB files and 400 million 64KB files. The customer explains they have a small budget and very limited rack space available in their datacenter. Performance is not a concern because the files are rarely accessed.
Which configuration provides the needed usable capacity using N+2:1 protection, and requires the least amount of rack space?

1. A. 3 x NL400 nodes with 2TB Drives
2. B. 3 x X400 nodes with 1TB Drives
3. C. 5 x X200 nodes with 1TB Drives
4. D. 6 x X200 nodes with 1TB Drives

Correct Answer: A
