Correct Answer: D

Packet Reflect is a feature that enables the Dell Unity XT system to use the same interface for outbound communication that was used for inbound communication. This feature is useful when the Dell Unity XT system needs to initiate outbound traffic to an external service, such as DNS, NTP, LDAP, or SMTP. By using Packet Reflect, the Dell Unity XT system can avoid routing issues, firewall restrictions, or network address translation problems that may occur when using a different interface for outbound communication. When a NAS server starts outbound traffic to an external service, the Dell Unity XT system uses Packet Reflect to send the packets through the same interface that received the packets from the external service. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Uses Packet Reflect for outbound communication. References: Dell EMC Unity: NAS Capabilities Dell EMC Unity: Unisphere Overview

Correct Answer: C

The firewall ports that are required to be open for a successful outbound connection when configuring integrated secure connect gateway are 443 and 8443. Integrated secure connect gateway is a feature that enables secure remote access

to the Dell Unity system through the Unisphere Central web portal. It requires an outbound connection from the Dell Unity system to the Unisphere Central server over the internet. Port 443 is used for HTTPS communication and port 8443 is

used for WebSocket communication.

Correct Answer: C

To expand a dynamic pool, the number of drives added must be equal to or greater than the stripe width of the pool. The stripe width is the number of data drives plus the number of parity drives in a RAID group. In this case, the stripe width is 12 + 1 =

13. Therefore, the minimum number of drives needed for the pool expansion is

13. References: Dell EMC Unity: Dynamic Pools Technical White Paper1, page 8.

Correct Answer: BC

The Dell UnityVSA is a software-defined storage solution that runs the Dell Unity operating environment on a VMware ESXi server. The Dell UnityVSA provides the same features and functions as the Dell Unity hardware platform, such as

block and file storage, snapshots, thin clones, data reduction, replication, and encryption. Some of the features of the Dell UnityVSA are:

iSCSI Connectivity: The Dell UnityVSA supports iSCSI connectivity for block storage access. The iSCSI protocol enables hosts to communicate with the DellUnityVSA over an IP network and access LUNs as SCSI devices. The Dell UnityVSA

can support up to 64 iSCSI interfaces and up to 256 iSCSI sessions per interface.

Asynchronous Replication: The Dell UnityVSA supports asynchronous replication for block and file storage. Asynchronous replication is a feature that copies data from a source storage resource to a destination storage resource over a

network at scheduled intervals. Asynchronous replication can be used for disaster recovery, data migration, or backup purposes. The Dell UnityVSA can support up to 256 replication sessions per system.

Correct Answer: C

When the Schedule Time Zone is changed under the Settings menu, it only affects the display of the time zone and the creation of new snapshot schedules. Existing snapshot schedules are not automatically adjusted to the new time zone, and will continue to run at the same absolute time as before. For example, if a snapshot schedule was created to run every day at 10:00 AM inGMT+1, and the Schedule Time Zone was changed to GMT+2, the snapshot schedule will still run at 10:00 AM in GMT+1, which is

11:00 AM in GMT+2. To update the existing snapshot schedules to the new time zone, the administrator must edit each schedule manually and change the start time accordingly. References: Dell EMC Unity: Snapshots and Thin Clones1, page 16.

Correct Answer: C

FAST VP (Fully Automated Storage Tiering for Virtual Pools) is a feature that automatically moves data within a storage pool based on the performance requirements and access patterns of the data. FAST VP data relocation runs in the background according to a user-defined schedule and rate. The schedule determines when the data relocation starts and ends, and the rate determines how much system resources are used for the data relocation. Users can set the Fast VP data relocation rate to High, Medium, Low, or None. High means that the data relocation has the highest priority and uses the most system resources, while None means that the data relocation is disabled. Fast VP data relocation does not run at all times, but only during the scheduled window. Fast VP optimizes data placement by moving 256 MB slices between disk tiers, not 1 GB slices. Users cannot enable or disable FAST VP at the LUN level, but only at the storage pool level. References: [Dell EMC Unity: FAST Technology Overview], [Dell EMC Unity: Storage Pools and RAID Groups]

Correct Answer: B

A characteristic of Host Groups is that block storage resources added to a host group are accessible to all the member hosts. A Host Group is a logical grouping of hosts that share the same access permissions and settings for block storage

resources. By adding block storage resources to a host group, the user can simplify the management and allocation of storage for multiple hosts. Access to block storage resources does not need to be set before adding hosts to a host group,

as the access permissions can be modified later. Hosts added to a host group can have mapped block storage resources, as long as they are not in conflict with the host group resources. Block storage resources attached to one of the

member hosts are not accessible to the entire host group, unless they are also added to the host group.

Correct Answer: D

Data Reduction is a feature that reduces the amount of physical storage space required to store user data on a LUN. Data Reduction is enabled at the LUN level and applies to all the data in the LUN, including snapshots and thin clones. Data Reduction consists of two components: compression and deduplication. Compression reduces the size of data blocks by removing redundant information, while deduplication eliminates duplicate blocks across the LUN. When Data Reduction is enabled on a LUN, all writes to the LUN will go through the Data Reduction logic before being written to the storage pool. If the LUN is part of a consistency group, Data Reduction will be enabled on all the LUNs in the consistency group, and all writes to any LUN in the group will go through the Data Reduction logic. This ensures that the data in the consistency group is consistent and protected by the same Data Reduction settings.

Correct Answer: B

The preferred FC Port for synchronous replication for a Dell Unity XT 380 system is Fibre Channel Port 4 of SPA and SPB. This port is dedicated for synchronous replication traffic and has the highest priority and bandwidth allocation. Synchronous replication is a method of replicating data between two Dell Unity systems with zero recovery point objective (RPO). It requires a low-latency and high-bandwidth network connection between the source and destination systems.

Correct Answer:

The correct sequence of steps to provision storage for SMB NAS clients is:

1.

Group hard drives into storage pools. This allows you to create a pool of storage resources that can be allocated to different types of storage objects, such as NAS servers, file systems, and LUNs.You can create different pools based on the performance and capacity requirements of your applications

2.

Create a NAS server for an existing pool. A NAS server is a logical entity that provides file-level access to clients using SMB, NFS, or FTP/SFTP protocols. You need to create a NAS server before you can create file systems and shares.You can specify the pool, network settings, domain membership, and other properties for the NAS server

3.

Create file systems and file system shares based on the supported NAS protocol. A file system is a logical container that stores files and folders on a NAS server. A file system share is a logical representation of a file system that can be accessed by clients using a specific protocol. For SMB NAS clients, you need to create SMB file system shares that support the SMB protocol.You can configure the share name, permissions, access policies, and other settings for the SMB share

4.

Map the shared file system to the client. This allows the client to access the files and folders on the SMB share using a drive letter or a UNC path.You can use the Windows Explorer or the net use command to map the shared file system to the client
