Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerProtect DD — Question 19

An administrator monitors the performance statistics of a PowerProtect DD appliance. Low disk-write rates are shown, and the network inbound traffic is high.
What is the most likely cause of this behavior?

Answer options

• A. NVRAM failure
• B. Disk failure
• C. Expired segments
• D. Known segments

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as known segments can lead to high network traffic and low write rates when they are being retrieved. In contrast, NVRAM failure (A) and disk failure (B) would likely cause more significant operational issues, and expired segments (C) typically wouldn't result in high inbound traffic.
