A customer has a SAN solution that is configured for disaster recovery using EVAs with synchronous data replication. An employee suggests that they do not need to back up their EVAs anymore as the data is protected at all times. As a SAN architect, what is your advice to the customer?

A. You agree with the employee but only if clones are maintained at set intervals.

B. You agree with the employee but only if snapshots and clones are maintained at set intervals.

C. You agree with the employee.

D. You disagree and recommend continuing with the backups and explain why.

A customer currently performs a full backup of a 1 TB LUN on an application server attached to the SAN using an internal tape drive in the server. They want a SAN-based backup that centralizes their backups and minimizes the downtime of their application. Initially, the customer only wants to back up the changes to the data as they already have a full backup. Which solution meets this business need?

A. clone + differential backup

B. clone + incremental backup

C. snapshot + incremental backup

D. clone + full backup

E. snapshot + differential backup

F. snapshot + full backup

Why does a SAN infrastructure need an architectural approach?

A. to achieve a lower number of switches in a fabric and reduce the number of redundant ISLs in the topology

B. to provide an architecture for one-to-many traffic patterns

C. to allow multiple application servers connected to one of the storage sets connected across all the switches

D. to manage complexity due to flexibility and multiple degrees of freedom

What does a SAN high availability configuration provide?

A. a non-disruptive upgrade process of theiSCSI protocol definitions

B. a non-disruptive merging of multiple SANs

C. non-disruptive SNMP messages to the system management framework

D. the capability to test new switch firmware in a production environment

A. cross-sectional bandwidth

B. traffic patterns

C. port count

D. security

E. zoning

A customer wants to use 2 Gbps B-series (Brocade) fabric switches in an extended fabric configuration with two 35 km single-mode fiber optic ISLs. What is required for the two switches on either end of the link?

B. A remote switch license must be added to both switches.

C. Nothing is required, simply connect the ISLs.

D. An extended fabric license must be added to both switches.
