Dell EMC D-XTR-DY-A-24 Exam - Topic 2 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-XTR-DY-A-24 exam

Question #: 8
Topic #: 2

What is a specific configuration guideline that should be followed when configuring Linux hosts to support XtremIO storage?

ASet the execution throttle to 35025

BEnable the I/O elevator

CSet the LUN queue depth to 64

DAssign LUN 0 to the boot LUN

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

When configuring Linux hosts to support XtremIO storage, it is recommended to set the LUN queue depth to 64. This setting helps to optimize the performance of the host when communicating with the XtremIO storage system.

Access Host Configuration: Log into the Linux host that will be connected to the XtremIO storage.

Modify HBA Parameters: Locate the HBA (Host Bus Adapter) parameters within the host's configuration files.

Set Queue Depth: Adjust the queue depth parameter for the HBA to 64. This can typically be done by editing the options.conf file or similar, depending on the HBA driver in use.

Apply Changes: Save the changes and reload the HBA driver or reboot the host to apply the new configuration.

Verify Configuration: Confirm that the new queue depth setting is active and functioning as expected.

Assigning LUN 0 to boot LUN? That's standard practice, right?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The table has some unfamiliar metrics, so I'll need to think through what each option means and which one best fits the 20.2 value.
