The end users report issues with datastore reachability between the newly installed virtual machines (VMs) and the storage array. The VMs are deployed on a Cisco C-Series server, directly connected with Cisco Nexus 5672UP switches over FCoE VLAN. The data traffic on VLAN 99, which is designated as a native VLAN, reaches its default gateway, but FCoE VLAN 99 fails to access the datastore. Which action resolves the problem?
What should be implemented on a Cisco Nexus 9300 Series Switch to reduce oversubscription between switches within a Fibre Channel fabric?
An engineer is designing a Cisco 7000 Series disaster recovery site using the data center interconnect solution to provide gateway redundancy and needs to ensure that devices use gateways in their own data centers. Which design approach should be used to accomplish this goal?
A small company hosts several critical applications on bare-metal servers connected via iSCSI protocol to shared JBOD storage. One of the critical applications is experiencing latency issues, which the engineering team suspects is due to incorrect prioritization for iSCSI traffic. An engineer must update the network QoS settings to prioritize iSCSI traffic with these requirements:
iSCSI traffic must be prioritized.
The solution must be able to differentiate between different types of iSCSI traffic.
The solution must be scalable because iSCSI traffic is expected to increase in the future.
The solution must not disrupt other traffic.
Which two configurations must the engineer apply to the devices on the network to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)
An enterprise is experiencing transmission errors and excessive deploys over their WAN when backing up user workstations. A systems architect decided to resolve the problems by centralizing data storage and processing to within the confines of the data center. Which technology is most suitable to mitigate the issues?
An engineer must design a secondary site to prevent a catastrophic primary site failure. The applications must communicate across sites via the data link layer of the OSI model. The Layer 3 transport that is available for this solution consists of 10-Gb connections over Layer 3.
Which two solutions meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
A network consultant proposes that the configuration of the Cisco UCS servers be based on service templates to facilitate the UCS infrastructure operation. The service profiles must remain connected to the template and be modified when the template settings are changed.
Which configuration meets these requirements?
Refer to the exhibit A company plans to implement high availability between the iSCSI host and the Fibre Channel target. Which solution must the company implement to recover from a failure of a host NIC. MDS IP storage port or Fibre Channel target port?
Which approach splits a pair of clustered fabric interconnects into two standalone devices?
Refer to the exhibit.
A system administrator needs a solution to manage random packet drops between two Cisco UCS C240 M4 servers The servers are connected to a pair of Cisco Nexus 7009 switches using 10G fibre interfaces Both servers are generating too many east-west traffic flows from TCP-based applications which causes significant latency that impacts the customer Also the transfer of files from Server-1 to Server-2 larger than 10 GB results in multiple retransmits Which design solution resolves this issue?
