Question 1

How much rack space is required for a four X-Brick XtremIO X2 cluster with a physical XMS?



Answer : B

XtremIO X2 clusters are designed for efficient space utilization in data center racks.

A four X-Brick XtremIO X2 cluster requires specific rack space allocation.

Each X-Brick occupies 5U of rack space. Therefore, four X-Bricks would require 20U.

Additionally, the physical XtremIO Management Server (XMS) occupies 1U of rack space.

In total, the four X-Brick XtremIO X2 cluster with a physical XMS requires 21U of rack space.


Question 2

Which port should SC1-IB1 be connected to in a single X-Brick XtremIO X2?



Answer : A

In a single X-Brick XtremIO X2 configuration, the port SC1-IB1 should be connected to IBSW1-P01. This connection ensures proper communication and data flow between the storage controller and the InfiniBand switch, which is critical for system performance and redundancy.


Question 3

Which command is used to verify the ESRS configuration?



Answer : A

ESRS (EMC Secure Remote Services) configuration verification is typically done using commands that check for system notifications and configurations.

The show-syslog-notifier command is used to verify the settings and configuration of syslog notifications, which is part of the ESRS setup.

This command helps in ensuring that the notifications are correctly configured and functioning as intended, allowing for remote monitoring and management.


Question 4

Refer to the exhibit.

The exhibit represents an XtremIO X2 Storage Controller configured with Fibre Channel ports. Which port type is highlighted

in the exhibit?



Answer : D

The highlighted port in the exhibit is a Fibre Channel (FC) port. This port type is used for high-speed data transfer between the storage controller and connected devices or networks. Fibre Channel is a technology known for its reliability and speed, making it suitable for storage area networks (SANs). The identification of the FC port is based on recognizing the physical characteristics of FC ports, such as their shape and typical placement on storage devices, as well as knowledge about Dell's XtremIO systems' configuration options1.

Question 5

A customer has decided to deploy a virtual XMS server. Which file name extension does the template use to deploy the server?



Answer : B

When deploying a virtual XtremIO Management Server (XMS), the template uses the file name extension .ova. This is a standard format for virtual appliances, which are pre-configured virtual machines that can be imported and run on various virtualization platforms. The .ova file extension stands for Open Virtual Appliance (or Application) and is typically used for packaging and distributing software to be run in virtual machines1.

The deployment process using an .ova file typically involves the following steps:

Download the .ova file from the official source or portal.

Import the .ova file into the virtualization platform (such as VMware vSphere or Oracle VM VirtualBox).

Follow the prompts to configure the virtual machine settings as needed.

Once the import is complete, power on the virtual machine to begin the initial setup and configuration of the virtual XMS server.

This information is consistent with the practices outlined in the Official Dell XtremIO Maintenance Achievement document, ensuring that the deployment of the virtual XMS server aligns with Dell's recommended procedures2.


Question 6

In preparation for a dual-to-quad online cluster expansion, how should the active cluster cabling be validated?



Answer : A

In preparation for a dual-to-quad online cluster expansion, the active cluster cabling should be validated using the Easy-Install menu. This menu provides a guided and automated way to ensure that all cabling is correctly connected and verified, minimizing the risk of errors and ensuring a smooth expansion process.


Question 7

A multi X-Brick XtremlO X1 cluster is being installed. How many BBU connections, and of which type, are required per X-Brick?



Answer : C

For a multi X-Brick XtremIO X1 cluster, each X-Brick requires one Battery Backup Unit (BBU) that provides protective power to both Storage Controllers within the X-Brick. Additionally, there are two BBU COM (communication) ports required, with one connected to each Storage Controller. This configuration ensures that in the event of a power failure, the BBU can maintain power to the Storage Controllers, allowing them to safely shut down and protect data integrity1.

The installation process would typically involve:

Installing the BBU in the designated slot within the X-Brick.

Connecting the BBU power cable to the power supply of both Storage Controllers.

Connecting a BBU COM port to each Storage Controller for communication and monitoring purposes.

This setup is crucial for maintaining the high availability and data protection standards that XtremIO systems are known for1.
