SNIA Storage Networking Management and Administration Sample Questions:
You are using asynchronous storage replication to protect your critical database server. There are no replication agents installed on the database server. After a disaster, you are unable to bring up the database at the DR site.
What is the cause?
- A. An installed agent is required for the database to be quiesce and replicated in crash-
consistent state. - B. Two copies of databases are required at the DR site to be able to replay transaction logs.
- C. The database requires synchronous storage replication.
- D. The database requires replication from a second storage array.
A database administrator (DBA) is complaining of slow write performance to a storage array. The DBA would like to have access to real-time performance reporting of the storage array to correlate array performance with database performance.
Following SNIA Storage Security Best Current Practices, what should you do while limiting administrative complexity?
- A. Create a generic administrative ID with limited administrative rights to the storage array and provide it to all members of your organization's DBA team for performance troubleshooting.
- B. Create a nested administrative sub-group that has access to all performance data and
- C. administrative settings for the LUNs presented to database hosts and add the DBA team's user group to the nested sub-group.
- D. administrative settings for the LUNs presented to database hosts and add the DBAs user ID to the nested sub-group.
- E. Create a read-only view of performance graphs for the LUNs presented to database hosts and add the DBAs user ID access.
- F. Create a nested administrative sub-group that has access to all performance data and
Which storage related offering serves as intermediaries to multiple cloud storage providers?
- A. Cloud storage shifting
- B. Cloud storage gateway
- C. Cloud storage provider
- D. Cloud storage broker
You are provisioning storage to a host with multipathing software installed and correctly configured. You discover that there are four paths to LUNs instead of the expected eight paths.
Why does this happen?
- A. Incorrect LUN size
- B. Incorrect LUN masking
- C. Incorrect zoning
- D. Incorrect multipathing policy
A server has lost half of its paths to its LUN on a storage system. The help desk determines that one of the two HBAs was just replaced. The SAN administrator has modified the zoning with the new WWPN of the replacement HBA port, but the missing paths have still not recovered.
Which action would you perform next?
- A. Reboot the server.
- B. Reconfigure persistent binding on the server.
- C. Rescan disks on the server.
- D. Modify the host definitions for LUN masking on the storage system.
