Ace the EMC DEE-1421 Exam: Ultimate Preparation Guide

SyncIQ policies are being configured between two Dell EMC Isilon clusters at a company’s location. In addition, the company wants the ability to perform a failover at an Access zone level. Which actions should be performed to meet the requirement?

A company has an 8-node Dell EMC Isilon cluster configured with SmartConnect. The device IDs of the nodes are 1 through 8. However, the node with the SSIP failed.

Which cluster node will have the SSIP assigned after the failure?

A company has a medical application that generates a large number of media files. The file count is well over one billion and is stored on a Dell EMC Isilon 8-node NL410 cluster. Currently, each node is connected to the network using two 10GbE connections. The Linux-based application does not require high bandwidth; however, it is latency sensitive. Additionally, the Linux hosts are connected to the cluster over NFSv3. The application generates approximately 10,000 files every 10 minutes.

For the past four years, the cluster has been growing at a rate of one additional node per year. The company is running out of free ports on their redundant network switches. They want to know what can be done to ensure continuous availability. They do not want to invest in upgrading the network infrastructure. In addition, the company needs to reduce the number of consumed interface ports on the switches.

Which recommendation should be provided?

The :”nfs2” file system has been experiencing delays that have been impacting the entire Dell EMC Isilon cluster. Neither Snapshots nor SyncIQ is configured for these directories. Use the “Launch Simulator” button to verify the SSD strategy. Note: It is necessary to ‘close’ (x) the simulator window to answer the question.

Based on your findings, which operation should be performed to address the delays?

A company uses the Dell EMC Isilon cluster’s A200 nodes for short-team archiving of digitized film. Historical and trending information shows that the cluster capacity will reach 90% full in 60 days. To avoid the need to purchase additional A200 nodes, the company requires a solution that archives data not accessed for 18 months to a more cost-effective platform. The long-term archive data must be online and accessible. Some performance loss is acceptable.

Which IT strategy provides a long-term solution that meets the requirements?

You are working with a company to migrate from a Microsoft Windows file server to a Dell EMC Isilon cluster using the account “admin1” in the “Domain Admin” group. When opening a directory, you receive an error message stating “permission denied”. You check the permissions and see that Domain Users are denied, Domain Admin has Full Control, and admin1 has read permission.

Why is the access denied?

Case Study 1

A company has several independent business units that operate globally. The company has consolidated its IT infrastructure services and operations. Common infrastructural services which include IPAM, DNS, NTP, DHCP, and SMTP have been consolidated. The company has complimented its infrastructure development by investing in Dell EMC Isilon clusters to host its user’s home and group directories and for compliance archival purposes required by individual business units.

The IT operations are located in India and the United States with its primary data center facilities co-located between New York and Texas. The company has a total of 60 AD forests:

• 1 main domain
• 55 domains have one-way trust relationships with the main domain
• An additional 4 domains do not have any trust relationship with no future plans of establishing trust relationships with the other domains.

Users of different AD domains use different FQDN to access their corresponding file services. Additionally, the company does not plan to consolidate the AD domains and each domain uses a different IP subnet. The users of the domains with no trust relationships have a compliance archival requirement. The company wants to all data to be replicated between New York and Texas.

What is the minimum number of groupnets required?
