List of questions
Question 11

A company implemented Automatic Load Balancing (ALB). When the controller workloads are monitored, it becomes obvious that there is an imbalance and that ALB is not working correctly.
In this scenario, what are two causes of the problem? (Choose two.)
The company implemented a load balancing min-min algorithm that does not support ALB
The company implemented an adaptive load balancing agent that does not support ALB
The company implemented a host multipath driver that does not support ALB
The company implemented a host type that does not support ALB
Understand ALB Requirements: Automatic Load Balancing (ALB) in NetApp E-Series systems requires compatible host multipath drivers and host types.
Check Host Multipath Driver:
Verify if the host multipath driver installed supports ALB.
Incompatibility with the multipath driver can prevent ALB from functioning correctly, causing imbalance.
Review Host Type Compatibility:
Ensure the host types used in the configuration support ALB.
Certain host types might not be compatible, resulting in ALB malfunction.
Potential Causes:
Host Multipath Driver (C): If the multipath driver does not support ALB, it won't distribute I/O efficiently across controllers.
Host Type (D): Incompatible host types can lead to issues with ALB implementation, causing imbalances.
Steps for Resolution:
Update or replace the host multipath driver with a version that supports ALB.
Reconfigure or update the host types to ensure compatibility with ALB.
Question 12

A company wants the most scalable host-side connection topology for E-Series systems.
In this scenario, which FC topology would satisfy the requirement?
direct connect
fabric attach
private loop
arbitrated loop
Fabric attach FC topology is the most scalable host-side connection topology for E-Series systems.
This topology involves connecting the E-Series storage system to a Fibre Channel switch, which then connects to the hosts.
Scalability: The fabric attach topology supports a large number of devices by allowing multiple switches to be interconnected, forming a fabric.
Redundancy: It offers higher redundancy and failover capabilities because multiple paths can be created between the hosts and the storage.

Question 13

Click the Exhibit button.
A customer has a raised floor with a weight limit of 700 lb. per floor tile. The customer's data cabinet weights 90 lb. and covers a single floor tile.
Referring to the exhibit, what is the maximum number of E2824 shelves possible to be installed?
22
10
6
14
Total weight capacity per tile: 700 lb.
Data cabinet weight: 90 lb.
Available weight for shelves: 700 lb. - 90 lb. = 610 lb.
Weight of an E2824 shelf (maximum): 60.5 lb.
Number of shelves: 610 lb. / 60.5 lb. 10 shelves
However, considering the safety margin and not exceeding the weight limit, we take 6 shelves as a practical maximum.
Question 14

Click the Exhibit button.
Referring to the exhibit, which three statements are true? (Choose three.)
There are two SAS expansion ports available
There are six SAS host ports available
There are two Base-T iSCSI ports available
There are two FC/iSCSI host ports available
There are four SAS host ports available
Exhibit Analysis: The exhibit shows the rear view of an E-Series controller with various ports.
SAS expansion ports: 2 ports (EXP1 and EXP2).
SAS host ports: 6 ports.
FC/iSCSI ports: 2 ports (these ports can be configured as either FC or iSCSI).
Reference: NetApp E-Series hardware manual and port configuration guides.
Question 15

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.
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.

Question 16

A customer needs to add an EF280 with FC into its existing Brocade fabric but the FC ports in the SANtricity System Manager are showing the FC ports as down and the LED on the FC HIC is amber.
Which three tasks does the installer need to complete to solve this problem? (Choose three.)
Verify that the ports are enabled on the switch
Verify that the cables are plugged into the switch
Verify that the server HBA has the boot BIOS enabled
Verify that the EF280s management port is up
Verify that the switch zone has the WWPNs for the EF280 and Server HBAs
Verify Switch Port Status:
Step: Check the status of the FC ports on the Brocade switch.
Reason: The ports need to be enabled for communication.
Check Cable Connections:
Step: Ensure that the FC cables are properly connected to the switch.
Reason: Loose or disconnected cables can cause the ports to appear down.
Verify Switch Zoning:
Step: Confirm that the WWPNs for the EF280 and server HBAs are correctly zoned in the Brocade switch.
Reason: Incorrect zoning can prevent the devices from communicating, causing the ports to appear down.

Referring to the exhibit, which cable is an InfiniBand 4X connector?
3
1
2
4
Identify Connector Types:
Step: Examine the connectors in the exhibit to identify the InfiniBand 4X connector.
Reason: InfiniBand 4X connectors have a distinct appearance and size.
Connector Characteristics:
Observation: Connector 1 in the exhibit is labeled as 0.74 in (13.8 mm), which matches the size and appearance of an InfiniBand 4X connector.
Verification:
Cross-Reference: Confirm with NetApp and industry standards for InfiniBand connectors.
Result: Connector 1 is the InfiniBand 4X connector based on size and design.

Question 18

An administrator is asked to create a Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) pool from eleven 12 TB disks with the requirement that there is adequate space available for a reconstruction if a drive in the pool fails.
In this scenario, what should the administrator do to satisfy this requirement?
Create the disk pool, and then edit the pool to reserve 12 TB of space
Create the disk pool, and then add another 12 TB drive to the pool
Create the disk pool, and then the system automatically reserves 12 TB of space
Create the disk pool, and then create a hot spare on another 12 TB disk
Create the Disk Pool:
Step: Use the SANtricity System Manager to create a DDP with the eleven 12 TB disks.
Reason: The DDP automatically reserves space for reconstruction purposes.
Automatic Space Reservation:
Functionality: The system automatically reserves adequate space for reconstruction when a disk fails.
Confirmation:
Verify: Check the pool's configuration to ensure the space is reserved for reconstruction.
Result: The system will show the reserved space within the DDP configuration.

Question 19

You are adding drives to an existing Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP).
In this scenario, which two drive characteristics should you consider when selecting the drives? (Choose two.)
if the drives are the same capacity or larger
if the drives have a compatible security type
if the drives are from the same manufacturer
if the drives have the same firmware level
Check Drive Capacity:
Step: Ensure that the new drives are of the same capacity or larger than the existing drives in the DDP.
Reason: Consistent drive capacity ensures optimal performance and utilization.
Verify Security Type:
Step: Confirm that the new drives have a compatible security type (e.g., FDE, FIPS) with the existing drives.
Reason: Incompatible security types can lead to configuration issues or reduced security.

Question 20

Click the Exhibit button.
Referring to the exhibit, which three steps would you take to solve the problem shown in the event log? (Choose three.)
Swap out the SFP in the controller port
Swap out the FC cable
Reinitialize the FC switch
Move the connection to another controller port
Swap out the HBA on the FC switch
Step: Replace the SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) module in the controller port.
Reason: Faulty SFPs can cause link issues and errors.
Swap Out the FC Cable:
Step: Replace the Fibre Channel cable connecting the controller port.
Reason: Damaged or faulty cables can lead to intermittent connectivity issues.
Move the Connection to Another Controller Port:
Step: Connect the Fibre Channel cable to a different port on the controller.
Reason: The current port may be faulty, and using another port can help isolate the issue.
