Dell EMC D-XTR-DY-A-24 Exam - Topic 2 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-XTR-DY-A-24 exam
Question #: 21
Topic #: 2
[All D-XTR-DY-A-24 Questions]

In a heterogeneous environment, what is a recommended setting when multiple storage arrays are connected to VMware vSphere in addition to XtremIO X2?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

In the event of a power failure, the XtremIO X2 system's NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory) card will initiate the discharging of the SuperCapacitor (SuperCap). The SuperCap is designed to provide enough power to the NVRAM card to allow it to write any data in transit to a non-volatile storage medium, ensuring data integrity and preventing loss1. This process is a critical part of the XtremIO X2's data protection mechanism during unexpected power interruptions.

I've always used option D, but I'm curious about the others.

Wait, is XCOPY really set to 256? That seems high!

I feel like Disk.SchedNumReqOustanding was highlighted as important for managing multiple arrays, but I need to double-check that.

I think we practiced a similar question where Disk.SchedQuantum was mentioned as a key setting for performance. Could that be relevant here?

I remember something about optimizing storage settings, but I'm not sure if it's Disk.SchedNumReqOustanding or fnic_max_qdepth that applies here.

Hmm, I'm a bit stumped on this one. I know the concepts, but I'm not sure how they apply in this specific scenario. Guess I'll have to make an educated guess.

Ah, I've seen this type of question before. I think the key is understanding how to optimize the storage performance when you have multiple arrays connected. Time to put my thinking cap on.

Wait, XCOPY? Is this some kind of secret storage ninja technique I haven't heard of? I'm going to need to look that one up.

Option C looks promising. Adjusting the fnic_max_qdepth setting could help handle the increased workload from multiple storage arrays.
