Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, PowerEdge Server — Question 12
A PowerMax Storage Group has Host I/O limits set at 10000 IOPS. The Port Group contains four ports across different directors. The Dynamic Distribution is set to OnFailure.
What is the maximum IOPS the Storage Group can achieve in the event a switch port being used by one of the director ports fails but the director remains online?
Answer options
- A. 2500
- B. 5000
- C. 7500
- D. 10000
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When one switch port fails, the remaining three ports can still operate. The IOPS limit is divided among the active ports, so with three ports remaining, the maximum achievable IOPS becomes 10000 IOPS divided by 2, resulting in 5000 IOPS per port. Therefore, the correct answer is B, while the other options do not accurately reflect the distribution of IOPS across the remaining ports.
