A customer's host is running a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 server with dm-mp configured for ALUA and is connected to a single volume on the EF280 system that is shown in the exhibit.
In this scenario, how many active/optimized paths are available to the volume?
You are cabling drive expansion shelves for an E2800 storage system.
In this scenario, which cabling method should you use?
You use SAS expansion port EXP1 and reserve SAS expansion port EXP2 for a second drive expansion stack.
The controller A and the controller B SAS expansion ports (EXP1 & EXP2) should be divided between the A-side and B-side IOM-12 modules for all the expansion shelves.
You use SAS expansion port EXP2 and reserve SAS expansion port EXP1 for a second drive expansion stack.
The controller A and the controller B SAS expansion ports (EXP1 & EXP2) should not be divided between the A-side and B-side IOM-12 modules for all of the expansion shelves.
Explanation:
Cabling method: It is important to distribute the connections for redundancy and balanced performance.
EXP1 and EXP2 ports: By dividing these ports between the A-side and B-side IOM-12 modules, the system ensures balanced load and failover capabilities.

What is the minimum number of drives needed to create a Dynamic Disk Pool?
A customer intends to use an E2812 system without expansion shelves. The specification for their Windows host requires that six E-Series data volumes be used.
In this scenario, how should the system be configured?
one DDP with all the volumes
three DDPs with the volumes divided equally
one DDP for each volume
two DDPs with the volumes divided equally
Explanation:
Understand the Requirements: The E2812 system is to be used without expansion shelves, and the customer requires six data volumes.
Consider DDP (Dynamic Disk Pooling): DDP is a recommended configuration for simplifying management and enhancing data protection.
Single DDP Configuration: Using one DDP for all volumes is efficient for the following reasons:
Simplifies the storage configuration.
Ensures balanced use of all drives.
Provides efficient data protection and rebuild performance.
Creation of Volumes: Within the single DDP, create six volumes as required by the customer.
Advantages of One DDP:
Easier management compared to multiple DDPs.
Better performance and protection due to the distributed nature of DDP.
What are two methods for setting the host protocol configuration on the E2800 controller with a 4-port 16Gbps FC or 10Gbps iSCSI SFP+ host interface card (HIC)? (Choose two.)
A junior administrator recently made changes to an E-Series system. As a result of these changes, the management host lost the ability to manage the E-Series system through in-band management, but the host still has access to the E-Series data volumes.
In this scenario, what caused this issue?
An orphaned volume occurs during an asynchronous mirror implementation. You must recover the orphaned volume.
In this scenario, which statement is correct?
Remove the mirroring relationship on the orphan, then re-create the mirroring relationship
Suspend mirroring operations on the orphan, then resume operations
Deactivate the mirror consistency group that contains the orphan, then re-enable the group
Perform a role change on the orphan, then re-create the mirroring relationship
Explanation:
Identify the Orphaned Volume:
Step: Use SANtricity System Manager to identify the orphaned volume.
Reason: To determine which volume has lost its mirror relationship.
Remove the Mirroring Relationship:
Step: Access the mirroring settings for the orphaned volume and remove the existing relationship.
Reason: The current relationship is invalid and needs to be removed to reset the configuration.
Re-create the Mirroring Relationship:
Step: Establish a new mirroring relationship for the previously orphaned volume.
Reason: To restore the asynchronous mirroring setup with a valid configuration.
