01. A customer evaluating a Gen6-based PowerScale cluster is concerned that writes held in the node journal could be lost during an extended power outage. Which statement addresses this concern?
a) The journal must be protected by an external UPS
b) The journal is replicated to every node in the chassis
c) Battery runtime in each node limits how long the journal survives
d) Journal contents are preserved on nonvolatile storage when power is lost
02. A regulated customer must be alerted to cluster problems and must keep a record of security-relevant activity outside the cluster. Which two monitoring methods meet these requirements?
(Choose two)
a) Continuous tcpdump capture on every production interface
b) OneFS event and alert notifications
c) Forwarding audit events to an external syslog server
d) Disabling protocol auditing to reduce overhead
03. A customer wants to perform a complete failover and failback test on a production SyncIQ policy. Which two steps should be performed first, in order, so that the test does not lose data?
a) Quiesce client writes to the source, then run a final synchronization of the policy
b) Leave client writes active on the source, then run a final synchronization of the policy
c) Quiesce client writes to the source, then immediately run Allow Writes on the target
d) Leave client writes active on the source, then immediately run Allow Writes on the target
04. A brokerage stores trade confirmations in a SmartLock enterprise directory that has an autocommit time period. Files that have stayed unmodified past that period must move into a committed WORM state. Which Job Engine job processes those files?
a) SnapshotDelete, which removes snapshots once their retention date has passed
b) QuotaScan, which updates accounting for the directory as retained files accumulate
c) PermissionRepair, which applies read-only permissions from a template directory to the files
d) WormQueue, which commits queued SmartLock files
05. New nodes have been added to an existing PowerScale cluster to replace older nodes. Which OneFS operation should be used to remove the old nodes from the cluster?
a) SyncIQ
b) SmartPools
c) SmartFail
d) AutoBalance
06. A clinical research organization's cluster has one chassis of four H710 nodes and a separate node pool of three F210 nodes. The customer plans to remove two of the F210 nodes and redeploy them at a branch site, keeping the third in place. What happens to the F210 node pool once the two nodes are gone?
a) Its remaining node is automatically set to read-only
b) It stays writable, mirroring onto its own drives
c) Its remaining node is merged into the H710 node pool
d) It stays writable, with new data mirrored onto the H710 nodes
07. A design team is sizing a new node pool for 480 TB of large media files. At the planned cluster size, files are laid out with 8 data units and 2 FEC units per stripe. The design reserves 10% for virtual hot spare (VHS), and the customer's operations policy fills the pool to no more than 80% of the capacity that remains. Apply each reduction to the capacity left after the previous one. What is the minimum raw capacity the node pool needs?
a) About 600 TB
b) About 750 TB
c) About 667 TB
d) About 834 TB
08. A company provides home directories from a separate file server in each department. Most users run Windows and authenticate with Active Directory, but the Engineering department uses Linux and authenticates with NIS. The company wants minimal administrative overhead and a single namespace for all home directories. What is the recommended solution?
a) Consolidate onto one cluster and migrate the Linux users into Active Directory
b) One PowerScale cluster with access zones using the Active Directory and NIS providers
c) Deploy two separate clusters, one serving the Windows clients and one serving the Linux clients
d) Use SmartPools file pool policies to separate Windows users from Linux users
09. After configuring SmartPools tiers and SmartConnect on a PowerScale cluster, an architect wants to show the difference in performance that Windows clients experience when connecting to different storage tiers. Which Windows tool generates and measures the client I/O load needed to show this?
a) Iometer
b) iostat
c) netstat
d) Wireshark
10. Which service daemon does OneFS use to provide FTP and FTPS file transfers to and from the cluster?
a) sftpd
b) ftpsd
c) ftpd
d) vsftpd
