[All D-PST-DY-23 Questions]

SIMULATION

A storage admin is setting up a new protection policy with only snapshot rule for a new file system in PowerStore.

The administrator is given the below parameters.

Use the simulator to perform the configuration task.

When you have finished continue to the next question.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

1. Create the File System

Navigate to Storage > File Systems.

Click Add File System.

Enter the file system name: FS-1

Set the file system size to 5 TB.

Select the appropriate NAS Server (SMB-NAS Server in this case).

Click Add.

2. Create the Protection Policy

Navigate to Protection > Protection Policies.

Click Add Protection Policy.

Enter the policy name: Policy-1

Click Next.

3. Configure the Snapshot Rule

In the 'Snapshot Rules' section, click Add Rule.

Enter a name for the rule (e.g., 'Snap-Rule').

Set the Days to Tuesday.

Set the Every field to 1 Hour.

Ensure that Retention is set to the default value.

Click Add.

Click Next.

4. Review and Finish

Review the protection policy summary.

Click Finish.

5. Apply the Protection Policy to the File System

Navigate back to Storage > File Systems.

Locate the FS-1 file system.

Click the More Actions button (three vertical dots) and select Edit.

In the 'Protection Policy' field, select the newly created Policy-1 from the dropdown list.

Click Save.

Verification

To verify the configuration, go to Protection > Protection Policies.

Select Policy-1.

You should see the configured snapshot rule ('Snap-Rule') with the specified settings.

Key Considerations

Default Retention: The default retention for snapshots in PowerStore will vary depending on your system configuration. Ensure that the default retention meets your data protection needs.

Snapshot Schedule: The snapshot rule you created will take hourly snapshots of the file system every Tuesday.

By following these steps, you'll successfully create the protection policy with the specified snapshot rule and apply it to the new file system, meeting all the requirements of the simulation task.

I’m surprised they’re not using replication too!

I think I recall that we need to specify the schedule for the snapshots, but I’m not clear on how to access that option in the simulator.
