How many layers are in the Isilon clustering architecture?
Your customer manages a print media environment, consisting of three Isilon clusters, which are out of support. The customer would like to have access to new software releases and feature sets. You have been asked to perform a full discovery of the customer’s environment.
The customer's current Isilon clusters are as follows:
“Cust” (12 x 12000X) serves as upload media storage for different tenants.
“Working” (8 x 12000X + 6 x X200) serves as a working zone for extraction to RAW and printing media from it.
“Archive” (16 x 72NL + Accelerator nodes) is used to store printed content for six months.
The customer operates in a Windows environment using SMB 2.0, two DNS servers per AD forest, three forest domains which are servicing three different environments. All servers are operating on a 1Gb network, three VLANs segregating the DEV/QA/PROD environments. Currently, there is no monitoring in place for performance measurement or optimization.
The requirements for this solution include:
Better ROI and TCO
Maintain same performance with possible improvements
Renew HW/SW and get inclusive support
Limit migrations
Reduce space, power, cooling consumption
Get new feature sets
If migration required, use Parallel copy (multiple nodes, multiple threads, multiple connections)
Segregate tenant shares from other tenants
Expand up to 1PB of total storage
What would you recommend be done to consolidate the three clusters into one?
A customer is able to see some performance metrics in the Isilon OneFS dashboard or by using CLI. Other performance metrics will require InsightIQ.
What will require a licensed version of InsightIQ?
A customer has an SMB file directory with 375 TB of data on the primary cluster with a protection level of N+ 3:1. They want to replicate this directory to the secondary cluster. The customer would like information about the possibility of setting protection levels on the target cluster.
What information can be provided to the customer about the protection level for the target directory?
By default, which method is used by Isilon OneFS for SSDs?
When installing nodes into a Dell EMC rack, which node type requires the use of a Titan-HD rack?
Independent of protocol, what does Isilon OneFS use to translate identities?
An Isilon customer is reporting less than expected performance from the cluster and poor space utilization. The customer is using three X400 nodes with N+2:1 protection policy to host webserver log data. Upon further analysis, it is discovered that the webservers write log files 64 KiB in size. The log files are then accessed by an analytics application for reporting.
What should be done to increase write performance of the cluster?
On an Isilon Gen 6 Cluster with 4 nodes and N+2d:1n protection, how much storage would a 64 KB file
consume?
If Dynamic IP Address Allocation is being configured in Isilon SmartConnect, which policy setting needs to be determined?
