   Which of the following concepts is in use when dual power supplies are connected to different power sources?

   • AFault tolerance
   • BActive-passive
   • CComponent redundancy
   • DHeartbeat
   • ELink aggregation

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   Different Power Sources is the key here. Dual Power Supplies connected to the same power source is redundancy for if one power supply fails. Dual Power Supplies connected to DIFFERENT power sources, as detailed in the question, is redundancy for if the power source itself fails. This would ensure that if one power source (like main power from the Grid) fails/goes out, the secondary supply connected to a different power source (like a building generator) would allow continued operation.

   A server administrator wants to ensure a storage array can survive the failure of two drives without the loss of data. Which of the following RAID levels should the administrator choose?

   • A0
   • B1
   • C5
   • D6

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   To ensure a storage array can survive the failure of two drives without losing data, the server administrator should choose RAID 6. RAID 6 provides two levels of parity protection, which means that data can be reconstructed even if two drives fail simultaneously. This is achieved by storing two sets of parity data across all drives in the array, which allows the array to survive multiple drive failures while maintaining data integrity. RAID 0 does not provide any redundancy and does not protect against drive failures. RAID 1 provides mirroring of data between two drives, but it only protects against the failure of a single drive. RAID 5 provides a single level of parity protection, which allows the array to survive a single drive failure, but not two failures.

6. Question 106 · 371 in bank

   A server room contains ten physical servers that are running applications and a cluster of three dedicated hypervisors. The hypervisors are new and only have 10% utilization. The Chief Financial Officer has asked that the IT department do what it can to cut back on power consumption and maintenance costs in the data center. Which of the following would address the request with minimal server downtime?

   • AUnplug the power cables from the redundant power supplies, leaving just the minimum required.
   • BConvert the physical servers to the hypervisors and retire the ten servers.
   • CReimage the physical servers and retire all ten servers after the migration is complete.
   • DConvert the ten servers to power-efficient core editions.

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   Option B, which involves converting the physical servers to the hypervisors and retiring the ten servers, would address the request with minimal server downtime and reduce power consumption and maintenance costs. Since the hypervisors are new and have low utilization, there is ample capacity to virtualize the existing physical servers. This would reduce the number of physical servers, resulting in lower power consumption and maintenance costs. Option A, which involves unplugging power cables, may result in unexpected downtime and would not reduce power consumption or maintenance costs. Option C, which involves re-imaging the physical servers and retiring them after the migration is complete, would require significant downtime and would not necessarily reduce power consumption or maintenance costs. Option D, which involves converting the physical servers to power-efficient core editions, may reduce power consumption, but would not necessarily ad

7. Question 107 · 371 in bank

   A company needs to increase the security controls on its servers. An administrator is implementing MFA on all servers using cost-effective techniques. Which of the following should the administrator use to satisfy the MFA requirement?

   • ABiometrics
   • BPush notifications
   • CSmart cards
   • DPhysical tokens

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   Option B, push notifications, would be the most cost-effective solution to implement MFA on all servers. With push notifications, the user receives a notification on their mobile device or computer prompting them to approve or deny access to the server. This method does not require any additional hardware or tokens and can be implemented easily. Option A, biometrics, may provide a high level of security, but it would require additional hardware such as fingerprint scanners or facial recognition cameras, which can be expensive. Option C, smart cards, require the purchase and distribution of smart cards to all users, which can be costly and time-consuming to manage. Option D, physical tokens, such as key fobs or USB tokens, are also costly to purchase and distribute to all users. Additionally, if a user loses their token, it may cause a delay in access to the server until a new token can be distributed.

   An administrator is installing a new file server that has four drive bays available. Which of the following RAID types would provide the MOST storage as well as disk redundancy?

   • ARAID 0
   • BRAID 1
   • CRAID 5
   • DRAID 10

9. Question 109 · 371 in bank

   An administrator notices that a file server is filling up quickly but has many of the same files in different directories. Which of the following storage management techniques would resolve this issue?

   • AProvisioning
   • BEncryption
   • CDeduplication
   • DPartitioning

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   The storage management technique that would resolve this issue is deduplication. Deduplication is a technique that identifies and eliminates duplicate copies of data in a storage system. This reduces the amount of storage capacity needed and can improve backup and restore times. In this scenario, since the file server has many of the same files in different directories, deduplication can identify those duplicate files and store only one copy, freeing up space on the server. Option A, provisioning, refers to the process of allocating and managing storage resources for a particular application or service. Option B, encryption, is a technique used to protect data by encoding it in such a way that only authorized users can read it. Option D, partitioning, is the process of dividing a physical storage device into multiple logical units, each of which can be used independently. This can be useful for organizing data or separating operating system files from user files, but it does not address the issue of duplicate files taking up storage space.

10. Question 110 · 371 in bank

    An administrator is configuring a new server for use as a database server. It will have two mirrored drives to hold the operating system, and there will be three drive bays remaining for storage. Which of the following RAID levels will yield the BEST combination of available space and redundancy?

    • ARAID 0
    • BRAID 1
    • CRAID 5
    • DRAID 10

    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Explanation

    The RAID level that would yield the BEST combination of available space and redundancy in this scenario is RAID 5. RAID 0 provides no redundancy and would not be a suitable choice for a database server where data protection is crucial. RAID 1 provides disk redundancy by mirroring two drives but would result in only half of the total storage capacity being available. In this case, the three remaining drive bays would provide less storage than RAID 5. RAID 10 provides both disk redundancy and increased storage capacity by combining mirroring and striping. However, since there are only three remaining drive bays, it would not be possible to set up RAID 10. RAID 5 provides a good balance of storage capacity and disk redundancy by striping data across multiple disks with parity data distributed among the disks. This configuration requires at least three drives and can withstand the failure of one disk. In this scenario, RAID 5 would provide the best balance of available space and redundancy for the remaining three drive bays.
