Case Study 4

A company is experiencing a noticeable decrease in performance when accessing data on their Dell EMC Isilon cluster. The cluster hosts Microsoft Windows home directories and general purpose file shares. In addition, a file pool policy moves data that has not been modified in six months to an achieve tier. The administrator wants your assistance in understanding the reason for the slow data access. The number of users accessing the cluster has not changed. The administrator has shared the following baseline metrics. The outputs were captured from a performance- acceptable time frame.

Trace route shows:

-3 hops between clients and the cluster

-Average latency is 3 ms

Iperf shows:

-940 Mb/s average bandwidth

-005 ms average jitter

Netstat on the local network shows:

-05% average re-transmission rate

Hostcache list:

-20 ms average roundtrip time across all clients

The administrator shows you the following iperf output:

-890 Mb/s average bandwidth

-98.8 ms average jitter

Based on the output, what information should be provided to the administrator?

The :”nfs2” file system has been experiencing delays that have been impacting the entire Dell EMC Isilon cluster. Neither Snapshots nor SyncIQ is configured for these directories. Use the “Launch Simulator” button to verify the SSD strategy. Note: It is necessary to ‘close’ (x) the simulator window to answer the question.

Based on your findings, which operation should be performed to address the delays?

Case Study 5 – Refer to the Exhibit.

Backing up data from a Dell EMC Isilon cluster exceeds the company’s backup window. Because the company has a large amount of data with a continuous high growth rate, they want to change their backup strategy. The Gen 6 Isilon cluster consists of 24 nodes.

Their current backup strategy is an NDMP three-way backup performing weekly full backups to tape and incremental backups each night. The strategy uses Dell EMC NetWorker. The DMA uses Include paths to specify what data to backup. All data on the cluster must remain accessible.

The company’s IT team is now looking for a method to increase the performance of their backups. After some investigation, you notice that the backup job targets two paths. This could be the cause of the lengthy backup times.

What advice should be provided to the team?
