NEW QUESTION # 67
What should an administrator configure when setting up device-level access control in an NVMe/TCP network?
Answer: B
Explanation:
In any NVMe-based storage fabric (including NVMe/TCP, NVMe/FC, and NVMe/RoCE), the standard method for identifying endpoints and enforcing device-level access control is the NQN (NVMe Qualified Name).
The NQN serves the exact same purpose in the NVMe protocol as an IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name) does in an iSCSI environment, or a WWPN (World Wide Port Name) does in a Fibre Channel environment. It is a unique identifier assigned to both the host (initiator) and the storage array (target subsystem). When setting up access control on a Pure Storage FlashArray, the storage administrator must capture the Host NQN from the operating system and configure a Host object on the array with that specific NQN. This ensures that only the authorized host can discover, connect to, and access its provisioned NVMe namespaces (volumes).
Here is why the other options are incorrect:
VLANs (A): Virtual LANs are used for network-level isolation and segmentation at Layer 2 of the OSI model. While you might use a VLAN to separate your storage traffic from your management traffic, it is a network security measure, not a device-level access control mechanism for the storage protocol itself.
LACP (C): Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is a network protocol used to bundle multiple physical network links into a single logical link for redundancy and increased bandwidth. It has nothing to do with storage access control or mapping volumes to hosts.
NEW QUESTION # 68
A FlashArray//XL is used for NVMe-RoCE services. The array has been lightly loaded and has performed as expected. A new workload has been added to the array, which is within the array's performance envelope. The change has resulted in extreme latency and service outages for all workloads utilizing NVMe-RoCE.
Which misconfiguration is this a symptom of?
Answer: A
Explanation:
Requirement for Lossless Ethernet: NVMe over RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) requires a lossless fabric to function correctly. Unlike standard iSCSI which uses TCP for error recovery, RoCE assumes the network will not drop packets. If the network is "lossy," performance degrades significantly.
The Role of PFC: Priority Flow Control (PFC) (IEEE 802.1Qbb) is the specific mechanism used in Data Center Bridging (DCB) to provide flow control on a per-priority basis. It allows the switch to send a "pause" frame to the sender when buffers are full, preventing packet drops.
Symptom Analysis: In the scenario provided, the array itself is not overloaded ("within the performance envelope"). However, the addition of a new workload increased traffic to the point where buffer congestion occurred. Because PFC was likely misconfigured (either on the FlashArray ports, the network switches, or the host NICs), the network dropped packets instead of pausing traffic. This leads to "go-back-N" retransmissions and massive latency spikes that affect all workloads sharing that fabric.
Pure Storage Best Practices: Pure Storage documentation for NVMe-RoCE emphasizes that PFC must be enabled and consistent across the entire path. If there is a mismatch in PFC configuration, the resulting packet loss will cause the symptoms described: extreme latency and potential service outages.
NEW QUESTION # 69
The administrator needs to remove a volume from a ratcheted protection group.
How can this be accomplished?
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 70
The Load Meter in the Pure1 GUI shows a consistently high workload, averaging a 90% load over the past hour. The array also has high space usage of 85%.
What is the expected result?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Understanding the Load Meter: The Load Meter in Pure1 and Purity represents the percentage of the array's performance capacity currently being utilized. It takes into account CPU cycles, back-end metadata processing, and front-end I/O. A 90% load means the controllers are nearly saturated.
The Impact of Capacity on Load: As a FlashArray fills up (specifically beyond 80%), the Purity Operating Environment must work harder to find and organize free space. This "Garbage Collection" (GC) process becomes more intensive, which consumes more controller resources and contributes to a higher Load Meter reading.
Internal System QoS: To ensure the stability and integrity of the storage, Pure Storage uses Internal Quality of Service (QoS). This is an "always-on" feature that prioritizes critical system processes (like metadata updates, internal health checks, and data protection) over incoming host I/O during periods of extreme resource contention.
Graceful Performance Pacing: When the load is consistently high (like the 90% described), Purity may introduce small amounts of latency to the host I/O (often seen as "Wait" or "Queue" time) to "pace" the workload. This prevents the controllers from reaching a 100% "locked" state, ensuring the array remains responsive and healthy even under heavy pressure.
Why Option C is incorrect: While the array needs to reclaim space, prioritizing Space Reclamation (a background task) during a 90% performance load would likely push the controllers to 100% load, causing significant latency spikes or instability for the host. The system must balance reclamation with active production I/O.
NEW QUESTION # 71
An administrator is running commands to verify NVME/TCP connectivity from the hosts to the FlashArray. They use the command ping -M do -s 8972 <ip_addr> from the initiator and it fails.
What should the administrator do to resolve the issue?
Answer: A
Explanation:
When configuring NVMe/TCP (or iSCSI) for optimal performance on a Pure Storage FlashArray, configuring Jumbo Frames (an MTU of 9000) end-to-end is a standard best practice.
The command ping -M do -s 8972 <ip_addr> is specifically used to verify Jumbo Frame configuration across the network.
The -M do flag sets the "Do Not Fragment" (DF) bit, meaning the network is not allowed to break the packet into smaller pieces.
The -s 8972 flag sets the ICMP data payload to 8972 bytes. When you add the standard 8-byte ICMP header and the 20-byte IP header, the total packet size equals exactly 9000 bytes.
If this ping command fails, it indicates that somewhere along the network path between the host (initiator) and the FlashArray (target), a switch port, router, or network interface is not configured to support an MTU of 9000. The packet is being dropped because it is too large and cannot be fragmented. The administrator must verify the MTU settings on every network hop (switches, routers, and host NICs) to resolve the issue.
Here is why the other options are incorrect:
Engage support to enable NVME/ TCP services (A): The failure of a Jumbo Frame ping test is a Layer 2/Layer 3 network configuration issue, not an indicator that the NVMe/TCP storage protocol service is disabled on the array.
Run the command from the target (C): While pinging from the FlashArray back to the host is a valid secondary troubleshooting step, it will likely also fail if the network path doesn't support Jumbo Frames. The actual resolution is to fix the MTU on the network hops.
