What is the sector size of an Isilon 8 TB drive?
You are reviewing an opportunity with a trusted advisor. You both discover gaps in the initial solution design.
Each iterative discussion with the customer helps you define the solution better. The documents produced capture the customer's requirements.
What else needs to occur to refine the sizing considerations?
A company wants to have their new Gen 6 Isilon cluster benchmarked for a UNIX environment. What commonly available open source tool is typically used to test an Isilon cluster’s performance for this environment?
Given a 5-node Isilon cluster configured with an N+2 protection level, how many nodes can be offline with the data accessible and fully writeable?
You have been invited to meet with the Social Media and Marketing Department and gather requirements for a potential File System Project. They primarily use CIFS and are considering deploying a Hadoop cluster to analyze customer demographic data. The Senior Systems Engineer thinks they will need 2PB of usable capacity.
What would you do to gain an understanding of the customer’s environment to qualify and develop the opportunity?
A potential customer is considering replacing a four year old, Linux-based NFS server with 40TB of usable capacity. The existing system supports home directories, an internal website, and a content repository for the customer's content management system. The customer is concerned about performance of any new solution because they expect to double workload in the content management system.
What tools can be used to collect performance data needed to size the new solution?
An Isilon customer created a SyncIQ policy to replicate data from a primary cluster to an offsite secondary cluster. The primary cluster becomes unavailable, and the customer has completed a failover onto the secondary cluster.
The primary cluster becomes available again, so the customer would like to fail back data to the primary cluster. The failback process does not replicate data.
What is the most likely reason the failback policy does not replicate data to the primary cluster?
A customer has two data centers (Site A and Site B).There is an Isilon cluster in each data center and they use SyncIQ to replicate data between the two data centers.
You have reviewed their disaster recovery plan and found the following:
The policies specify that SyncIQ runs a replication job every 3 hours and that the job finishes within 1 hour.
Three additional hours will be needed to get servers and the network redirected to work from Site B.
What is the Recovery Point Objective in this plan?
A customer plans to deploy N+2:1 protection on a 5-node Isilon cluster. How much capacity will be used to store a 1024 KiB file?
In your second meeting with the customer you ask the following questions about their current unified SAN and NAS platform.
"Are you using an application to map users from NFS Exports to SMB shares? Is each site a separate LDAP or AD Domain?"
What functionality are your trying to understand in their environment and what is the comparable feature in Isilon OneFS?
