Refer to the exhibit.

Your customer has three different clusters. File systems on two of the clusters are at 90% full, and the largest cluster is 10% full. Active data resides on the largest cluster. The customer has five different node types totaling 2PB and 54 nodes.
Nodes from left to right are as shown:
1. X200
2.12000X
3.36000X
4. NL108
5.108NL

They have a Smartpool license and believe that tiering data would help free up needed space.

After talking with the customer and explaining the use of SmartPools, how would you recommend optimizing utilization across all of the nodes that the customer owns?

A four node F800 Isilon cluster running OneFS 8.2.1 has a dedicated subnet and IP pool for SMB data traffic. SmartConnect Advanced license is applied. The SMB IP pool consists of LACP aggregated. 10GigE interfaces from all the nodes.

What is the maximum number of SmartConnect Service IPs recommended for the SMB subnet?

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?

What is a characteristic of predefined sets of privileges of OneFS built-in administrator roles?

A customer has an Isilon cluster with 6 nodes and a single 4-core CPU per node. The default configuration for SyncIQ workers per CPU core and SyncIQ workers per node per job limits are used.

How many SyncIQ workers are available for the Isilon cluster?

You meet a customer for the first time. They explain that their current environment for NAS does not meet their needs. You want to make sure that Isilon is a good fit for their needs.

What would be a good prequalifying question to ask?

Using Isilon SnapshotIQ, how many snapshots can be created at the directory level?

On an Isilon cluster, how much space should be reserved for snapshots by default?

The security team at a customer site has created a new requirement that in-flight replication traffic must be encrypted end-to-end. The customer is running OneFS 8.2.1 on their cluster.

What encryption protocol versions does SyncIQ support?

Your customer is moving from a Restaurant/Bar business model to a Restaurant/Casino business model.
You are helping architect the upgrade of a current 4-node X200 48 TB Isilon cluster, with 50% utilized for
their video surveillance operations.

They want to upgrade from 15 FPS (NTSC) in H.264 codec, with a 15 days retention policy to 30 FPS (NTSC) in H.264 codec, with a 30 days retention policy.

How many nodes of the same type will you need to add in order to meet the required changes and not exceed 70% raw capacity?
