D.

The company implemented a host type that does not support ALB

D.

The company implemented a host type that does not support ALB

Answers
Suggested answer: C, D

Explanation:

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.

A company wants the most scalable host-side connection topology for E-Series systems.

Answers
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

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.

Answers
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

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.

D.

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.

Answers
Suggested answer: B

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.

Verify that the switch zone has the WWPNs for the EF280 and Server HBAs

Answers
Suggested answer: A, B, E

Explanation:

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.
