You are proposing a storage expansion solution to a customer Fibre Channel Array, to avoid capacity and performance issues. Which additional points should you consider in your proposed solution? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: C,E
When proposing a storage expansion solution to a customer Fibre Channel array, it is important to consider the current and future workloads that will use the array, as well as the performance bottlenecks that may affect the array's efficiency and availability. These two factors will help determine the optimal size, type, and configuration of the storage expansion, as well as the potential impact on the existing Fibre Channel network and the customer's business objectives. C). Other workloads that are planned to be added to this array. This point is relevant because adding new workloads to the array will increase the demand for storage capacity and performance, which may require additional disks, controllers, or ports. The type and characteristics of the new workloads, such as their I/O patterns, data protection requirements, and service level agreements, will also influence the design of the storage expansion solution. For example, if the new workloads are I/O intensive or require high availability, the storage expansion solution may need to include solid-state drives (SSDs), RAID levels, or replication features that can meet those needs. E). Performance bottlenecks in the current solution. This point is relevant because identifying and resolving the performance bottlenecks in the current solution will help improve the efficiency and utilization of the existing storage resources, as well as prevent potential issues in the expanded solution. Performance bottlenecks can occur at different layers of the storage solution, such as the disk, controller, switch, or host. Some common causes of performance bottlenecks are disk contention, controller overload, port congestion, or host configuration. To diagnose and mitigate the performance bottlenecks, the storage administrator can use tools such as HPE InfoSight, HPE 3PAR System Reporter, or HPE Command View EVA to monitor and analyze the performance metrics, such as IOPS, throughput, latency, queue depth, or utilization, of the storage components. A). VLAN and Spanning Tree configuration. This point is not relevant because VLAN and Spanning Tree are Ethernet network concepts that do not apply to Fibre Channel networks. Fibre Channel networks use different protocols and mechanisms to segment and manage the network traffic, such as zones, virtual SANs (VSANs), or fabric services. B). The UPS model that is currently in use. This point is not relevant because the UPS model that is currently in use does not directly affect the storage expansion solution. The UPS model is a power backup device that provides uninterrupted power supply to the storage devices in case of a power outage. The UPS model may have some implications on the power consumption and availability of the storage devices, but it is not a critical factor in the design of the storage expansion solution. D). Current Ethernet network topology. This point is not relevant because the current Ethernet network topology does not directly affect the storage expansion solution. The Ethernet network topology is the physical and logical layout of the Ethernet network devices, such as switches, routers, or firewalls, that connect the hosts to the storage devices. The Ethernet network topology may have some implications on the network performance and availability of the storage devices, but it is not a critical factor in the design of the storage expansion solution.
