You ordered a NetApp E2812 Duplex 16GB 10 GbE Base-T system.
Referring to the exhibit, what is the maximum number of 10GbE Base-T ports available to be used?
The exhibit shows the supported adapter cards for the E2812 system with specific marketing part numbers.
The E2812 system ordered is a Duplex 16Gb 10GbE Base-T system with the adapter card part number X-56023-00-0E-C, which is described as 'HIC.E2800.10Gb Base-T.2-ports, -C'.
Each card provides 2 ports.
Given that the system is duplex, it means it has two controllers, each capable of supporting one card.
Therefore, each controller can have one 10GbE Base-T card with 2 ports, resulting in a maximum of 4 ports available in total for the system.

A customer has launched a data analytics initiative and has been transferring old data into the new data lake. The customer has discovered some data read errors during the transfer process.
In this scenario, how should the customer have avoided these data integrity issues?
Data integrity issues can often be prevented by ensuring that mechanisms for data assurance and media scanning are activated.
Data Assurance (DA) is a feature that verifies the integrity of the data as it is read from or written to the storage system, detecting and correcting errors.
Media scan is a background process that checks the entire disk surface for errors and corrects any found before they cause data integrity issues.
Together, these features ensure ongoing data integrity by preemptively identifying and fixing potential issues.

When a drive fails in a Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP) with no free capacity, what happens to the data?
In a Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP), the system is designed to handle drive failures efficiently without impacting data availability. When a drive fails within a DDP and there is no free capacity, the data from the failed drive is rebuilt using preservation capacity within the DDP.
Dynamic Disk Pools use distributed sparing, which allows the spare capacity to be spread across all the drives in the pool rather than relying on dedicated hot spare drives. This distribution ensures that the rebuild process starts immediately and can be completed faster than traditional RAID systems because the workload is shared across more drives.
The preservation capacity is essentially reserved space within the DDP that can be utilized in the event of a drive failure to rebuild the data. This approach helps in maintaining redundancy and protecting data integrity even when a drive fails.

You are setting up asynchronous mirroring between two E2860 systems.
In this scenario, which two prerequisites are required to complete the setup? (Choose two.)
Licensing Requirements: Both the primary and secondary systems must have the same premium features licensed to ensure compatibility and functionality for asynchronous mirroring.
System Discovery: Both systems need to be discovered by an Enterprise Management Window (EMW) or SANtricity Unified Manager to facilitate the setup and management of asynchronous mirroring.
Importance of Matching Features: Ensuring that both systems have the same features licensed avoids issues with mirroring operations that depend on specific functionalities being available on both ends.
Management Tools: Using EMW or SANtricity Unified Manager helps in configuring, monitoring, and managing the mirroring process effectively.

A company wants the most scalable host-side connection topology for E-Series systems.
In this scenario, which FC topology would satisfy the requirement?
Fabric attach FC topology is the most scalable host-side connection topology for E-Series systems.
This topology involves connecting the E-Series storage system to a Fibre Channel switch, which then connects to the hosts.
Scalability: The fabric attach topology supports a large number of devices by allowing multiple switches to be interconnected, forming a fabric.
Redundancy: It offers higher redundancy and failover capabilities because multiple paths can be created between the hosts and the storage.
