Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerEdge Server — Question 48

A PowerMax systems administrator has created three storage groups with the diamond, gold, and silver service levels. How does the system ensure the service level response times are met during heavy workloads?

Answer options

• A. By throttling the host front-end IOs
• B. Service levels are identical on All Flash systems
• C. By allocating more device cache slots to Diamond
• D. By throttling the back-end IOs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because throttling the host front-end IOs helps manage the workload and ensures that the service level response times are adhered to. Options B and C are incorrect since they do not address the workload management strategy, and option D is also incorrect as it focuses on back-end IOs rather than the front-end, which is where the throttling needs to occur to meet service levels.
