A storage administrator must configure replication from a production Dell Unity XT 680F to an offsite DR Dell Unity XT 480. Block resources must be replicated without data loss if the production site becomes unavailable. File resources can be replicated with an acceptable amount of data difference on the destination.
What replication configuration meets the requirements?
To meet the requirements, the replication connection mode must be set to Both, which allows both synchronous and asynchronous replication sessions to be configured on the same connection. This way, block resources can use synchronous replication, which ensures zero data loss, and file resources can use asynchronous replication, which allows some data difference on the destination. Setting Unisphere resource filtering to All is not necessary, as it only affects the display of resources in the Unisphere GUI. Setting an RPO of 0 on the synchronous replication sessions is redundant, as synchronous replication always has an RPO of 0. Configuring the replication interfaces on the 4-port mezzanine card is not relevant, as it only affects the performance and availability of the replication network.
A system administrator deployed a UnityVSA to their vSphere environment. They did not add the management IP to the UnityVSA during the installation.
Which command must be used to apply the management IP from the vSphere UnityVSA console?
To apply the management IP from the vSphere UnityVSA console, the system administrator must use the svc_initial_config command. This command allows the user to configure the initial network settings for the UnityVSA, such as the management IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers. The svc_ipmi command is used to configure the IPMI settings for the UnityVSA, such as the IPMI IP address, username, and password. The svc_change_hw_config command is used to change the hardware configuration of the UnityVSA, such as the number of CPU cores, memory size, and disk size. The svc_inject command is used to inject faults into the UnityVSA for testing purposes.
Into what size slices is the LUN partitioned for RAID extents?
A LUN is a logical unit of storage that is presented to a host as a SCSI device. A LUN is composed of one or more RAID extents, which are the smallest units of storage that can be allocated to a LUN. A RAID extent is a slice of a RAID group that is used to store user data and parity information. The size of a RAID extent depends on the RAID type and the drive type of the RAID group. For example, a RAID 5 extent on a SAS drive is 128 MB, while a RAID 6 extent on a NL-SAS drive is 256 MB. The LUN is partitioned into slices that match the size of the RAID extents, and each slice is mapped to a RAID extent from a RAID group in the storage pool. The LUN slices are distributed across multiple RAID groups to improve performance and availability.Reference:

A company has an ESXi host installed with FC HBAs that is connected to a Dell Unity XT storage array. A 500 GB LUN is provisioned to this host from the Unity array and is in production. The VMware administrator has configured a new vSwitch with the NICs on the server intended for iSCSI traffic. The storage administrator is asked to configure software iSCSI and provision a new 1 TB LUN from the storage array using iSCSI.
What is a consideration when satisfying this request?
Which are two ways to create an asynchronous replication session for a NAS server? (Choose two.)
Two ways to create an asynchronous replication session for a NAS server are to use NAS server properties and to use the NAS server wizard. Both methods allow the user to select a source NAS server and a destination NAS server, and configure the replication settings, such as the RPO, the replication schedule, and the replication mode. Creating a replication connection or a replication interface are not ways to create an asynchronous replication session for a NAS server, but rather prerequisites for enabling replication between two Dell Unity systems.
