EMC Isilon Design Specialist Exam for Technology Architects Sample Questions:

Question 1

You have 1000 users for an application that reads and writes files averaging between one and four MB in size. Each user requires 24 MB of RAM. You want to add another 1000 users for this application, and in preparation for them, you run the isi statistics command. You discover that the average CPU utilization is 20%; aggregate throughput averages 700 MB/s and the disk QueueD average is 1.5. Your cluster currently has five X200 (12 GB RAM, 1 TB drive) nodes, uses N+2:1 protection and 1 GigE networking.
What should you do to accommodate the next 1000 users?

A. Add five A100 (24 GB RAM) accelerator nodes.
B. Add five additional X200 (12 GB, 1 TB drive) nodes
C. Upgrade two of the 1 GigE NICs to 10 GigE on each node.
D. Upgrade each X200 node to a total of 24 GB of RAM.


Question 2

-- Exhibit -
A large manufacturing company is an existing Isilon customer with a cluster consisting of four NL400 nodes with 4TB drives. The cluster is using N+2:1 protection level and the file system shows that it is 60% utilized. Home directories and file shares comprise 75% of the existing content and the remainder is inactive deep archive. The company has 1,000 employees using Windows and Mac clients participating in a single Active Directory (AD) forest.
During a meeting with the CIO and Director of IT you discuss the company's recent acquisition - an engineering firm that specializes in Computer Aided Design (CAD). The engineering firm has 400 UNIX workstations that produce technical drawings which are currently stored on another vendor's SAN solution. The all UNIX environment uses NIS for authentication and name resolution. They do not currently use DNS or LDAP. The engineering company has an old storage system that has been experiencing problems and the CIO would like you to migrate the data onto the Isilon cluster. The CIO would like to eliminate all tape and recover the data onto disk.
The CIO is concerned about security of the company's intellectual property, especially with the rapid adoption of mobile devices and external cloud content sharing services such as DropBox, Egnyte, and SugarSync. They would like to implement an alternative that provides external file sharing and mobile device synchronization while maintaining security control over the company's data.
The Director of IT reports that users are storing non-work related content on the Isilon cluster. They would like to limit the amount of capacity that each user can consume in their home directory and want to ensure you provide the capability to easily visualize which users are over their allotment. The company's Windows users currently leverage Windows Shadow Copy to recover files that have been accidentally deleted. The IT department wants to ensure that Mac and incoming UNIX clients have the same functionality.
The Director of IT also mentions that users are reporting slow response times when browsing their home directories and shared folders. They are concerned that Isilon cannot scale to support their combined requirements.
The customer provides the following environment summary from the engineering firm's recently departed IT staff:
20 TB of Home Directory data
100 TB of active CAD projects
400 TB of archived data stored on tape at an offsite warehouse -- Exhibit -
Based on the meeting with the customer, which Isilon cluster configuration would you recommend?

A. 9 x S200 nodes with 2 x SSD and 22 x 900GB SAS
B. 4 x X400 nodes with 2 x SSD and 34 x 4TB drives 1 x Additional NL400
C. 4 x NL400 nodes with 36 x 4TB drives
D. 6 x X400 nodes with 36 x 4TB drives 1 x Backup Accelerator


Question 3

A customer has eight X400 24GB RAM nodes that support 400 client connections. They will be adding 400 more clients in the next few months. They are looking at adding an A-Series node to the cluster to help with client connections.Before they start adding client connections, what hardware change do you recommend?

A. Add more network switches to increase the number of connections
B. Add an A100 node to offset concurrent client connections
C. Add RAM to the nodes to offset concurrent client connections
D. Add nodes with SSD to help with connections


Question 4

Refer to the exhibit.

You are analyzing a customer's existing Isilon environment using isi statistics in order to expand the cluster. When examining the protocol subcommand, you see the output as shown in the exhibit.
What does the data tell you about the workload?

A. It contains mostly random writes.
B. It is metadata intensive.
C. It is mostly sequential reads.
D. It uses large read requests.


Question 5

While validating the value (VTV) with a large educational customer, they have decided they would like to add a Disaster Recovery (DR) site to their existing Isilon environment. The existing cluster contains six X-Series nodes. They plan to have all workflows replicated to the DR site and both clusters will have identical shares, exports, and user authentication. The customer would like to test DR failover every six months by running their production environment from the DR site.
What would you recommend for the DR solution?

A. Equal number of S-Series nodes at the primary site
B. SyncIQ and NL-Series nodes at the DR site
C. SyncIQ and identical cluster at the DR site
D. SmartConnect and NL-Series nodes at the primary site
