Huawei’s HyperLock feature provides WORM (Write Once, Read Many) functionality for NAS file systems. When a file is placed in the WORM state, the storage system strictly enforces a policy where the file's data can be accessed and read by authorized users, but any attempt to modify, overwrite, or delete the file is blocked by the storage controller.

In the Huawei OceanStor system, a file enters the WORM state after it is "locked." Once locked, the file remains in a read-only state for a defined retention period. During this time, not even an administrator can modify the file's content or reduce its protection duration. This is critical for meeting regulatory compliance (such as SEC Rule 17a-4) and for protecting sensitive data against ransomware, as it ensures that once data is archived, it remains immutable and verifiable. Only after the retention period has expired can the file be deleted, though it can still never be modified.

In Huawei’s object storage management (OceanStor Pacific), quotas are a critical administrative tool for resource governance. Option C is correct as quotas serve as a fundamental method for controlling how much of the physical resource pool a specific entity (tenant or user) can access and consume.

Option A and D are correctbecause Huawei supports bothTenant-levelandBucket-levelquotas. Once a Hard Quota limit is reached for a tenant or a specific bucket, the storage system will reject further write requests (PUT operations) to prevent exceeding the allocated budget.Option B is correctbecause the storage management system (DeviceManager or eSight) integrates with the quota system to trigger alarms when usage reaches predefined thresholds (such as 80% or 90%) or when the resource limit is reached, allowing administrators to take proactive measures like expanding the quota or cleaning up data.

The high-end OceanStor Dorado 18000 series is designed with the SmartMatrix 4.0 full-mesh architecture, which provides the industry's highest level of controller redundancy. In a standard configuration with 8 controllers (housed in two enclosures), the system can tolerate extreme failure scenarios without service interruption:

Individual Failures (Option A, C):The system easily handles the failure of one or two controllers as the remaining controllers take over the workload transparently.

Extreme Controller Failure (Option B):Due to the full-mesh interconnect where all controllers share a global memory cache and can access all backend disks, the system can tolerate the failure of up toseven out of eight controllers. As long as one controller remains active, services continue.

Enclosure Failure (Option D):Because the architecture is mirrored across controller enclosures, theentire failure of one controller enclosure(containing 4 controllers) is tolerated.

This level of resilience ensures that mission-critical applications remain online even in the face of catastrophic hardware events, maintaining 99.9999% availability.

This statement is true as it describes a core architectural component of the Huawei SmartMatrix fully-interconnected design. In the new-generation OceanStor hybrid flash systems, multiple controllers within a cluster must communicate at extremely high speeds to synchronize cache data and manage metadata across the entire storage pool.

To achieve the low latency required for these operations, Huawei utilizesRDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access)for controller interconnection. RDMA allows one controller to access the memory of another controller directly, bypassing the operating system's kernel and reducing CPU overhead. This high-speed back-end interconnection (often operating at 100 Gbps or higher) ensures that data can be mirrored between controllers almost instantaneously, which is critical for supporting symmetric active-active services and maintaining 99.9999% availability. By using RDMA, Huawei can deliver "flash-like" performance even in hybrid arrays by ensuring that the architectural bottlenecks of traditional controller communication are eliminated.

Huawei OceanStor BCManager (Business Continuity Manager) is the dedicated software suite designed for managing disaster recovery and backup environments. While other tools perform different functions, BCManager is specifically engineered to orchestrate the entire DR lifecycle:

Management (eReplication):This component manages disaster recovery for various applications (like databases and VMs). It automates the recovery process, performs DR drills without interrupting services, and visualizes the DR topology.

Backup (eBackup):This component handles the backup of virtualized environments.

In contrast,DeviceManager (Option B)is the on-box management tool for single-array configuration.SystemReporter (Option A)is used for performance analysis and reporting.eService (Option D)is a cloud-based proactive monitoring and maintenance platform. Therefore, BCManager is the correct choice for specialized DR management.

This statement is false because the Air Gap isolation zone is one of the most critical components of the Huawei OceanProtect ransomware protection solution. Huawei provides a comprehensive "four-layer" protection framework for data resilience, where Air Gap technology serves as the final, most secure layer.

TheAir Gapfeature creates a security isolation zone for backup data. Under normal operations, the replication link between the production backup storage and the isolation zone storage is physically or logicallydisconnected(the "gap"). The link only opens during a specific, scheduled window to replicate "clean" data from the production site to the isolation zone, and it is immediately closed once replication is finished. This ensures that even if ransomware compromises the main network and production storage, the data in the Air Gap isolation zone remains "invisible" and unreachable to the attacker. Combined with secure snapshots and WORM, this allows organizations to recover their business from an uninfected copy of the data, making Air Gap a core supported feature of the OceanProtect portfolio.

In Huawei OceanStor systems, a snapshot is not a full physical copy of the data. Huawei uses a technology called HyperSnap, which typically employs a "Copy-on-Write" (COW) or "Redirect-on-Write" (ROW) mechanism.

When a snapshot is created, the system generates a point-in-time (PIT) logical image of the source LUN. It does not immediately duplicate the data blocks; instead, it records the state of the data at that specific moment. If data in the source LUN is subsequently modified, the original data is preserved (in COW) or new data is written to a new location (in ROW) to maintain the integrity of the snapshot. Because only the metadata and the changed blocks are managed, snapshots are created near-instantaneously and consume very little initial space.

A "full copy" would be referred to as aClone (HyperClone)or aLUN Copy, both of which require a 1:1 ratio of physical storage space relative to the source and take significant time to complete. Therefore, a snapshot is a virtual, point-in-time image, not a full physical duplicate.

Huawei’s object storage solution (OceanStor Pacific/OBS) is designed for massive scalability and high availability across geographic boundaries. Option C is correct because the Global Namespace feature abstracts the physical location of data, allowing users to access objects via a single URL/endpoint regardless of which Data Center or Availability Zone (AZ) the data physically resides in. This simplifies application development and data management at scale.

Options A and B are correctas the architecture supports multi-regional deployment. Data can be replicated between regions to ensure disaster recovery and data sovereignty. Unlike traditional SAN/NAS replication which is often limited by latency-sensitive synchronous protocols, object storage utilizes asynchronous transfer mechanisms optimized for the HTTP/S3 protocol. This leads toOption D being correct; because object storage replication is typically asynchronous and handles high latency well, sites can be separated by thousands of kilometers, making it an ideal solution for global data distribution and remote site backup.
