A customer has two Isilon clusters. Cluster 1 has eight H500 nodes and cluster 2 has twelve H500 nodes. The customer needs to be able to monitor real time performance data of the clusters as well as track file growth.
Which supported tool should be recommended?

Correct Answer: C
A company wants to reduce the footprint in their data center. They recently completed a proof of concept with Hadoop using Direct Attached Storage (DAS) for their Big Data initiative. You have determined that incorporating an Isilon cluster into their Hadoop environment would help in reducing this footprint.
Which Hadoop components can be consolidated onto the Isilon cluster to reduce the footprint?
Which Hadoop components can be consolidated onto the Isilon cluster to reduce the footprint?
Correct Answer: C
A 6 F800 node Isilon cluster has one subnet with two IP pools with LACP aggregated 10GigE interfaces from all the nodes in the 'Data-Zone' Access Zone. The 'NFS-Pool' with dynamic IP Allocation schema and 'SMBPool' with static IP Allocation schema are being used.
All the Linux clients are accessing Isilon exports using NFSv3 via the 'NFS_Pool'. All the Windows clients are accessing Isilon shares using SMBv3 via the 'SMB_Pool'.
While deploying Isilon, the customer reserves the whole network subnet for Isilon. The customer is facing performance issues with a new workload that is accessing the Isilon via Kerberized NFSv4.
What is recommended when creating a new IP pool for NFSv4 clients?

Which tool is used to perform a cluster-wide kernel configuration change on a PowerScale Gen6 cluster?
Correct Answer: B
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 IIlumina 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 dat
a. 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. The customer has a limited budget.
What would be the best price/performance solution for their active data?

Correct Answer: C
How does OneFS handle small-file storage differently compared to large-file storage?
Correct Answer: C
Three jobs of different exclusion sets with a priority level of 5 are concurrently running on a cluster. A new job with a priority of 4 needs to be run.
