The storage solution based on the exhibit is deployed at a customer site.

How can the sequential read performance values be enhanced for this configuration?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Detailed Explanatio n:

Rationale for Correct Answe r:

The exhibit shows a system delivering ~2.3 GB/s sequential read. For large-block sequential workloads, aggregate host link bandwidth (number speed of front-end ports) is the primary limiter. Increasing the count of 10/25 Gb iSCSI NICs adds parallel lanes, raising sustained read GB/s to the hosts. This is a recommended first step in HPE sizing before changing protocols.

Analysis of Incorrect Options (Distractors):

A: Adding an expansion shelf increases capacity, not front-end bandwidth.

C: Moving to 32 Gb FC can help, but simply adding more existing 10/25 Gb ports achieves the same goal without a protocol/adapter change and is the straightforward, supported scale-out path.

D: SCM (Storage Class Memory) targets latency/IOPS; it doesn't materially lift sequential GB/s if the link budget is the bottleneck.

Key Concept: Scale front-end connectivity to increase sequential throughput; capacity or media class changes won't fix a link-limited system.

Overall, I think SCM is the best choice for speed.

I’m leaning towards the 32 Gb FC HBA option. Faster connections!

A new expansion shelf might also help with capacity.

True, but I feel SCM is a more direct enhancement.

But what about the NICs? More bandwidth could help too.

Not sure about replacing with 32 Gb FC, seems risky.

Adding SCM seems like a good idea for boosting performance, especially since I read about its benefits in similar scenarios.

Replacing the 10/25 Gb with a 32 Gb FC HBA sounds like a solid choice, but I wonder if the existing setup can handle that change without issues.

I remember a practice question where increasing NICs improved throughput, but I can't recall if it directly affects sequential read performance.

I think adding another expansion shelf could help, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best option for improving read performance.
