EMC D-UN-DY-23 Practice Test Questions Answers

The Unity 380/380F system supports two types of I/O modules: 12 Gb/s SAS back-end and 10 GbE Base-T front-end. The 12 Gb/s SAS back-end module provides connectivity to the disk drives and expansion enclosures, while the 10 GbE Base-T front-end module provides network connectivity to the hosts and clients. The Unity 380/380F system has four I/O module slots, two for each SP. The 12 Gb/s SAS back-end module must be installed in slot 0 of each SP, and the 10 GbE Base-T front-end module can be installed in slot 1 of each SP. Therefore, the correct answer is C. 12 Gb/s SAS 10 GbE Base-T. References:

The Unity XT 680 system supports four types of I/O modules: 12 Gb/s SAS back-end, 4-Port 16 Gb Fibre Channel, 4-Port 25 Gbps Ethernet, and 4-Port 10 Gbps Ethernet. The 12 Gb/s SAS back-end module provides connectivity to the disk drives and expansion enclosures, while the other three types of modules provide network connectivity to the hosts and clients. The Unity XT 680 system has six I/O module slots, three for each SP. The 12 Gb/s SAS back-end module must be installed in slot 0 of each SP, and the other modules can be installed in slots 1 and 2 of each SP. Therefore, the correct answer is D. 12 Gb/s SAS back-end. References:

When deploying Dell UnityVSA OVA, the recommended disk format is Thick Provision Eager Zeroed, which allocates and zeroes out all the space for the virtual disks at the time of creation. This ensures better performance and avoids potential issues with thin provisioning on the underlying storage. Thin Provision and Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed are not recommended, as they may cause performance degradation and unexpected out-of-space errors.

A Host Group is a logical grouping of hosts that share the same access permissions to storage objects, such as LUNs, VMFS Datastores, or NFS Filesystems. By configuring a Host Group, an administrator can simplify the management of multiple hosts and ensure consistent access to the storage resources. Some of the benefits of using a Host Group are:

Provides multiple hosts access to the same VMFS Datastores: A VMFS Datastore is a block-based storage object that is formatted with the VMware File System (VMFS) and used to store virtual machine files. A VMFS Datastore can be shared by multiple hosts that are part of a VMware cluster. By adding these hosts to a Host Group and assigning the VMFS Datastore to the Host Group, the administrator can ensure that all the hosts have the same access permissions and can access the virtual machines on the Datastore.

Provides multiple hosts access to the same LUNs: A LUN is a block-based storage object that is presented to a host as a SCSI device. A LUN can be shared by multiple hosts that have the same operating system and use a cluster-aware file system. By adding these hosts to a Host Group and assigning the LUN to the Host Group, the administrator can ensure that all the hosts have the same access permissions and can access the data on the LUN.

A characteristic of Host Groups is that block storage resources added to a host group are accessible to all the member hosts. A Host Group is a logical grouping of hosts that share the same access permissions and settings for block storage resources. By adding block storage resources to a host group, the user can simplify the management and allocation of storage for multiple hosts. Access to block storage resources does not need to be set before adding hosts to a host group, as the access permissions can be modified later. Hosts added to a host group can have mapped block storage resources, as long as they are not in conflict with the host group resources. Block storage resources attached to one of the member hosts are not accessible to the entire host group, unless they are also added to the host group.
