Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerStore — Question 17

A company deployed an Isilon cluster that consists of eight nodes connected to a main production subnet by all available 10GB ports. Later, the company decided to implement a disaster recovery solution with a separate replication subnet. During the reconfiguration, one of the 10Gb ports from each of the nodes 1-4 was moved into the new pool and SBR was activated.
After activating the replication policies, the administrator noticed that the main production ports on nodes 1-4 reached the bandwidth limit. What is a possible reason for this behavior?

Answer options

• A. Default gateway for the replication subnet has a higher priority value.
• B. Default gateway for the replication subnet is not specified.
• C. Default gateway for the replication subnet has a lower priority value.
• D. Main production ports have a smaller bandwidth limit than replication ports.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because if the default gateway for the replication subnet is not configured, it can lead to misrouting of traffic, causing congestion on the production ports. Option A is incorrect since a higher priority would not lead to bandwidth issues, while option C is irrelevant as a lower priority would not affect the production ports' limits. Option D is also incorrect because it does not address the configuration issue affecting the traffic routing.
