Case Study 1
A company has several independent business units that operate globally. The company has
consolidated its IT infrastructure services and operations. Common infrastructural services which
include IPAM, DNS, NTP, DHCP, and SMTP have been consolidated. The company has complimented
its infrastructure development by investing in Dell EMC Isilon clusters to host its users home and
group directories and for compliance archival purposes required by individual business units.
The IT operations are located in India and the United States with its primary data center facilities co-
located between New York and Texas. The company has a total of 60 AD forests:
1 main domain
55 domains have one-way trust relationships with the main domain
An additional 4 domains do not have any trust relationship with no future plans of establishing trust
relationships with the other domains.
Users of different AD domains use different FQDN to access their corresponding file services.
Additionally, the company does not plan to consolidate the AD domains and each domain uses a
different IP subnet. The users of the domains with no trust relationships have a compliance archival
requirement. The company wants to all data to be replicated between New York and Texas.
What is the minimum number of groupnets required?

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 output from the netstat command:
32366653 data packets (35556615947 bytes)
8010 data packets (9525723 bytes) re-transmitted
Based on the output, what information should be provided to the administrator?

Case Study 5 Refer to the Exhibit.
Backing up data from a Dell EMC Isilon cluster exceeds the companys 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 companys 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?
A. Exclude the largest datasets from the backup job
B. Add A100 Backup Accelerators and configure for two-way NDMP
C. Create more parallel streams to utilize multi-stream NDMP backups.
D. Change the backup strategy to token-based backups.

A Microsoft Windows administrator has an environment that includes a 4-node Dell EMC Isilon H500
cluster with one subnet and two pools. The administrator will use SMBv3 in all their clients. One
pools for production using 10gigo-i and 10gige-2 ports from each node. The other pool is
management using rngmt-1 from each node.
