• Question 322:

  Which of the following would allow a server administrator to ensure all maximum available resources are being utilized?

  A. Overprovisioning
  B. Scalability
  C. Thin clients
  D. Resource Monitor
  D. Resource Monitor

  ---

  Explanation

  Resource Monitoris a tool that allows administrators to monitor the system's CPU, memory, disk, and network usage in real-time, ensuring that maximum resources are being efficiently utilized. Resource Monitor (Answer D):This tool provides

  real-time insights into resource utilization and can help ensure resources are not under- or over-utilized. Overprovisioning (Option A):Refers to allocating more resources than physically available but doesn't directly monitor resource usage.

  Scalability (Option B):Refers to the ability to increase or decrease resources based on demand.

  Thin clients (Option C):Refer to lightweight computers that depend on servers for processing power, unrelated to resource utilization monitoring.

• Question 323:

  A server technician is placing a newly configured server into a corporate environment. The server will be used by members of the accounting department, who are currently assigned by the VLAN identified below: Which of the following IP address configurations should the technician assign to the new server so the members of the accounting group can access the server?

  

  A. IP address: 172.16.25.90/24 Default gateway: 172.16.25.254
  B. IP address: 172.16.25.101/16 Default gateway: 172.16.25.254
  C. IP address: 172.16.25.254/24 Default gateway: 172.16.25.1
  D. IP address: 172.16.26.101/24 Default gateway: 172.16.25.254
  A. IP address: 172.16.25.90/24 Default gateway: 172.16.25.254

  ---

  Explanation

  The IP address configuration that the technician should assign to the new server so the members of the accounting group can access the server is 172.16.25.90/24 for the IP address and 172.16.25.254 for the default gateway. This configuration matches the VLAN identified in the image, which has a network address of 172.16.25.0/24 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The IP address of the server must be within the same network range as the VLAN, which is from

  172.16.25.1 to 172.16.25.254, excluding the network and broadcast addresses (172.16.25.0 and 172.16.25.255). The default gateway of the server must be the same as the VLAN, which is 172.16.25.254, to allow communication with other networks or devices outside the VLAN.

• Question 324:

  A server administrator is connecting a new storage array to a server. The administrator has obtained multiple IP addresses for the array. Which of the following connection types is the server MOST likely using to connect to the array?

  A. eSATA
  B. USB
  C. FC
  D. iSCSI
  D. iSCSI

  ---

  Explanation

  Based on the multiple IP addresses obtained for the storage array, the server is most likely using the iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) connection type to connect to the array. iSCSI is a protocol that allows SCSI commands to be sent over IP networks, and it typically uses IP addresses to identify and connect to storage devices over a network.

  Option A (eSATA) and B (USB) are both direct-attached storage (DAS) connection types that use a cable to connect the storage device directly to the server, rather than over a network. Option C (FC) is Fibre Channel, which is a network protocol for connecting storage devices to servers over a high-speed Fibre Channel network, but it typically uses Fibre Channel addresses (WWNs) rather than IP addresses to identify and connect to devices.

• Question 325:

  A systems administrator has noticed performance degradation on a company file server, and one of the disks on it has a solid amber light. The administrator logs on to the disk utility and sees the array is rebuilding. Which of the following should the administrator do NEXT once the rebuild is finished?

  A. Restore the server from a snapshot.
  B. Restore the server from backup.
  C. Swap the drive and initialize the disk.
  D. Swap the drive and initialize the array.
  C. Swap the drive and initialize the disk.

  ---

  Explanation

  The next action that the administrator should take once the rebuild is finished is to swap the drive and initialize the disk. This is to replace the faulty disk that has a solid amber light, which indicates a predictive failure or a SMART error.

  Initializing the disk will prepare it for use by the RAID controller and add it to the array. The administrator should also monitor the array status and performance after swapping the drive.

• Question 326:

  A server administrator has noticed that the storage utilization on a file server is growing faster than planned. The administrator wants to ensure that, in the future, there is a more direct relationship between the number of users using the server and the amount of space that might be used. Which of the following would BEST enable this correlation?

  A. Partitioning
  B. Deduplication
  C. Disk quotas
  D. Compression
  C. Disk quotas

  ---

  Explanation

  The best way to ensure that there is a more direct relationship between the number of users using the server and the amount of space that might be used is to implement disk quotas. Disk quotas are a feature that allows a server administrator to limit the amount of disk space that each user or group can use on a file server. Disk quotas can help manage storage utilization, prevent disk space exhaustion, and enforce fair usage policies. Disk quotas can also provide reports and alerts on disk space usage and quota status.

• Question 327:

  An employee who was dismissed did not return company-issued equipment. Which of the following is the most important information the IT department needs to give to the legal department?

  A. Labeling
  B. Serial number
  C. Warranty
  D. Asset tag
  B. Serial number

  Explanation

• Question 328:

  Which of the following would be BEST to help protect an organization against social engineering?

  A. More complex passwords
  B. Recurring training and support
  C. Single sign-on
  D. An updated code of conduct to enforce social media
  B. Recurring training and support

  ---

  Explanation

  The best way to protect an organization against social engineering is to provide recurring training and support. Social engineering is a type of attack that exploits human psychology and behavior to manipulate people into divulging confidential information or performing malicious actions. Social engineering can take various forms, such as phishing emails, phone calls, impersonation, baiting, or quid pro quo. The best defense against social engineering is to educate and empower the employees to recognize and avoid common social engineering techniques and report any suspicious activities or incidents. Recurring training and support can help raise awareness and reinforce best practices among the employees.

  B. Per-server
  C. Per-user
  D. Per-core
  D. Per-core

  ---

  Explanation

  C. Bollards
  D. Data center camouflage
  A. An access control vestibule
