EMC Isilon Design Specialist Exam for Technology Architects Sample Questions:

1. 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?

A) What type of racks are in your datacenter?
B) Are you using a KVM to access your storage?
C) What applications access this storage?
D) How many NICs do your clients have?


2. -- Exhibit -
A European Sports TV network is considering Isilon for their Media Edit Storage for their editing workloads. They are also considering Isilon for near-line media archiving.
The network receives XDCAM HD footage which is loaded onto their existing Transcoding Storage platform. New footage that needs to be edited will be transferred from their Transcoding Storage platform to the proposed Media Edit Storage platform at the rate of ten simultaneous XDCAM HD files via FTP. Edited files will be transferred back to the Transcoding Storage platform at the rate of ten simultaneous XDCAM HD files via FTP.
The network currently has 15 Final Cut Pro edit stations, 15 Avid edit stations. Proxy software will be used to allow Isilon to act as the storage for the Final Cut Pro and Avid media. Three of those edit stations will be performing content compositing as needed.
The network expects 70 hours of new content per week, and 50 hours of edited content per week.
They intend to keep the new and edited content on the proposed Media Edit Storage as a performance tier for 30 days. They would like to retain all new and edited footage proposed Media Edit Storage as a near-line tier for two years.
In addition to the current workloads, the network expects to implement a new Media Asset Management (MAM) solution and has requested the Isilon cluster be capable of supporting 120 MBps read and 120 MBps write to support the MAM requirements.
-- Exhibit -
Refer to the exhibit.

Based on the described use of the cluster, what are the customer's capacity requirements?

A) 30 days retention: 15 TB; 2 years retention: 360 TB
B) 30 days retention: 5 TB; 2 years retention: 120 TB
C) 30 days retention: 30 TB; 2 years retention: 720 TB
D) 30 days retention: 1 TB; 2 years retention: 24 TB


3. -- Exhibit -
We have been engaged by a research hospital to help upgrade their Isilon installation. They currently have 12 previous generation Isilon nodes with 200TB of capacity and run on a 1Gbps network. They currently have 6 Illumina Hi-Seq Sequencers and an HPC cluster to process data. They would like to expand Isilon to 2PB of active data and 1PB of archive data. They use a third party data and metadata management service (IRODs) to stage data for analysis. The Isilon cluster is mainly used for analysis work with the HPC cluster.
-- Exhibit -
Currently, the workflows are being limited by the network access to the Isilon cluster.
What would result in the fastest possible network throughput?

A) Use LACP to aggregate the network connections.
B) Add four A-Series accelerator nodes.
C) Implement jumbo frames.
D) Move analysis infrastructure to dedicated 10G network.


4. -- Exhibit -
A large manufacturing company is an existing Isilon customer with a cluster consisting of four NL400 nodes with 4TB drives. The cluster is using N+2:1 protection level and the file system shows that it is 60% utilized. Home directories and file shares comprise 75% of the existing content and the remainder is inactive deep archive. The company has 1,000 employees using Windows and Mac clients participating in a single Active Directory (AD) forest.
During a meeting with the CIO and Director of IT you discuss the company's recent acquisition - an engineering firm that specializes in Computer Aided Design (CAD). The engineering firm has 400 UNIX workstations that produce technical drawings which are currently stored on another vendor's SAN solution. The all UNIX environment uses NIS for authentication and name resolution. They do not currently use DNS or LDAP. The engineering company has an old storage system that has been experiencing problems and the CIO would like you to migrate the data onto the Isilon cluster. The CIO would like to eliminate all tape and recover the data onto disk.
The CIO is concerned about security of the company's intellectual property, especially with the rapid adoption of mobile devices and external cloud content sharing services such as DropBox, Egnyte, and SugarSync. They would like to implement an alternative that provides external file sharing and mobile device synchronization while maintaining security control over the company's data.
The Director of IT reports that users are storing non-work related content on the Isilon cluster. They would like to limit the amount of capacity that each user can consume in their home directory and want to ensure you provide the capability to easily visualize which users are over their allotment. The company's Windows users currently leverage Windows Shadow Copy to recover files that have been accidentally deleted. The IT department wants to ensure that Mac and incoming UNIX clients have the same functionality.
The Director of IT also mentions that users are reporting slow response times when browsing their home directories and shared folders. They are concerned that Isilon cannot scale to support their combined requirements.
The customer provides the following environment summary from the engineering firm's recently departed IT staff:
20 TB of Home Directory data
100 TB of active CAD projects 400 TB of archived data stored on tape at an offsite warehouse
-- Exhibit -
The CIO approaches you with a new requirement. They would like to reuse the tape library that was previously used for archiving to now be used to back up some of their data.
What do you recommend to the Director of IT as the best architecture to achieve this goal?

A) Use a third party backup software and have the Isilon cluster convert the data to LTFS so it can be stored to the tape library.
B) Use a Backup Accelerator with SyncIQ to push the data to the tape library via the Fibre Channel ports on the accelerator.
C) Connect the Tape Library via Fibre Channel to the Isilon cluster and use a third party backup software to initiate an NDMP backup to an accelerator.
D) Implement a Backup Accelerator and use the internal backup software within the Isilon cluster to move data to the tape library.

Which configuration changes would you recommend for the Engineering users?

A) Direct all clients to use the Manufacturing DNS server and connect NFS mounts to the FQDN of the Isilon cluster.
B) Create an FQDN for the Isilon cluster in the LMHOSTS file for each engineering system.
C) Mount an NFS share to a node on the Isilon cluster, being careful to equally distribute the load across nodes.
D) Utilize SMB2.1 protocol and mount to the Isilon cluster using the Name Server (NS) record IP.
