SIMULATION
Use the simulator to create a new 100 GB volume. Use a category of Other. Associate the new volume with a protection policy that includes a rule that takes a snapshot every hour Monday-Friday and retains it for 5 days.
When you have finished continue to the next question.
1. Create the Volume
Navigate to Storage > Volumes.
Click + CREATE.
Enter a name for the volume (e.g., 'MyVolume').
Set the volume size to 100 GB.
In the 'Category' dropdown, select Other.
Click Add.
2. Create the Protection Policy
Navigate to Protection > Protection Policies.
Click Add Protection Policy.
Enter a name for the policy (e.g., 'HourlySnapshots').
Click Next.
3. Configure the Snapshot Rule
In the 'Snapshot Rules' section, click Add Rule.
Enter a name for the rule (e.g., 'HourlyRule').
Set the Days to Monday through Friday.
Set the Every field to 1 Hour.
Set Retain to 5 Days.
Click Add.
Click Next.
4. Review and Finish
Review the protection policy summary.
Click Finish.
5. Associate the Protection Policy with the Volume
Navigate back to Storage > Volumes.
Locate the 100 GB volume you created.
Click the More Actions button (three vertical dots) and select Edit.
In the 'Protection Policy' field, select the newly created HourlySnapshots policy from the dropdown list.
Click Save.
Verification
To verify the configuration, go to Protection > Protection Policies.
Select the HourlySnapshots policy.
You should see the configured snapshot rule ('HourlyRule') with the specified settings.
Key Considerations
Snapshot Frequency: The snapshot rule you created will take hourly snapshots of the volume every weekday (Monday to Friday).
Retention Period: The snapshots will be retained for 5 days before being automatically deleted.
Storage Space: Snapshots consume storage space. Ensure you have enough free space to accommodate the snapshots taken based on the frequency and retention period.
By following these steps, you'll successfully create a 100 GB volume, configure a protection policy with the specified snapshot rule, and associate the policy with the volume, fulfilling the requirements of the simulation task.
A PowerStore administrator is creating a host group.
Which two protocol types can be selected for a new host group? (Choose two.)
Host Groups and Supported Protocols in PowerStore
Host Groups: Host groups in PowerStore allow you to group multiple hosts together for easier management and access control. When you create a host group, you specify the protocol that the hosts in that group will use to connect to the PowerStore appliance.
Supported Protocols: PowerStore supports several protocols for host connectivity, but when creating a host group, you can choose from these two:
iSCSI: A widely used IP-based storage networking protocol.
FC (Fibre Channel): A high-speed network technology primarily used for storage networking.
Why other options are incorrect:
A . InfiniBand: While PowerStore supports InfiniBand for NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF), it's not a selectable option when creating a host group.
C . NVMe/TCP: Similar to InfiniBand, NVMe/TCP is supported for NVMe-oF, but it's not a protocol choice during host group creation.
Key Considerations for Host Groups
Single Protocol per Host Group: A host group can only use one protocol. All hosts within the group must use the same protocol (either iSCSI or FC) to connect to PowerStore.
Host Mapping: After creating a host group, you can map volumes to the group, granting access to all hosts within that group.
Dell PowerStore Reference
PowerStore: Hosts and Host Groups: This section in the PowerStore documentation provides detailed information about creating and managing host groups, including the supported protocols.
A storage administrator is configuring an import session from a VNX2 for Windows host dat
a. The administrator inputs the SPA IP address into the Add Remote System configuration. The administrator then checks the Verify Alternate Address option for the User Authentication configuration.
What does this action provide?
What are two properties of the VMware file system which are supported by PowerStore? (Choose two.)
Which two pieces of information are required to create a new remote system connection? (Choose two.)
In the Add Remote System slide-out panel, configure the following fields:
- Remote system type - Select PowerStore.
- Management IP address
- Description (optional)
- Network latency
