EMC DES-1D12 - Specialist - Technology Architect Midrange Storage Solutions Exam

The Skylake CPU family is a 6th generation Intel processor, which provides higher performance and improved energy efficiency compared to its predecessors. It is used on the Dell Unity XT 480, as well as other systems such as the Dell XPS 13, MacBook Pro, and HP Envy. Skylake CPUs are also used in servers, desktops, and laptops. Skylake CPUs include features such as Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading, and support for DDR4 memory.

It's important to check if more NVRAM is needed before adding new capacity to ensure that the system has enough resources to handle the increased workload. The Dell PowerStore Manager UI can provide information on the current NVRAM usage and capacity, and can also be used to order additional NVRAM if needed.

The best Unity load balancing method to optimize performance in a customer environment with a limited number of open FC switch ports is Port to Core Affinity. This method will assign the same port to the same core when possible. This allows the same switching resources to be used in the same cores, which will optimize performance due to reduced latency. Priority and Round Robin methods will also provide load balancing, but they are not as effective in a limited port environment. Least I/O is not recommended in this situation, as it will not provide adequate load balancing.

The NAS server DNS can be enabled on the next page. For Directory Services, DNS configuration is required. Add at least one DNS server for the domain.

A fully scaled-out Dell PowerStore T cluster requires at least two instances of PowerStore Manager to ensure high availability. This is because the PowerStore Manager provides a centralized management and monitoring interface for the cluster, and having multiple instances of it allows for redundancy in case one instance becomes unavailable.

Both Dell PowerStore T and Dell PowerStore X support the 10 GbE BaseT optional I/O module card type. This card provides 10 Gbps Ethernet connectivity and can be used to connect the storage array to a network. The other options are not supported by both models. 25 GbE and 32 Gb Fibre Channel are generally faster and used for high-performance systems, while 8 Gb Fibre Channel is an older standard, and not supported by Dell PowerStore T and Dell PowerStore X.

Access-based enumeration is the attribute that must be used at the share level to restrict the share content visibility of a Dell Unity file system based on the access rights. Access-based Enumeration (ABE) is a feature that allows you to hide files and folders from users who do not have the necessary permissions to access them. When ABE is enabled, users only see the files and folders that they have permission to access. This helps to prevent users from accidentally accessing data that they should not have access to, and it helps to maintain the security and integrity of the data on the file system.
