There is a need to carry out a tech refresh of an Isilon cluster. Old nodes must be removed because of space constrains in the data center. What methodology is least disruptive and will retain the file system structure, configuration, data, and DNS information?
Correct Answer:
C
While validating the value (VTV) with a large educational customer, they have decided they would like to add a Disaster Recovery (DR) site to their existing Isilon environment. The existing cluster contains six X-Series nodes. They plan to have all workflows replicated to the DR site and both clusters will have identical shares, exports, and user authentication. The customer would like to test DR failover every six months by running their production environment from the DR site.
What would you recommend for the DR solution?
Correct Answer:
A
