Cisco Exam 300-610 Topic 4 Question 99 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-610 exam

Question #: 99
Topic #: 4

Refer to the exhibit.

A customer runs an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) application on Server1. The application generates a small number of transactions and requires low storage latency. Server2 is a backup server that performs backups twice a day During the backup window, the OLTP application experiences high-latency spikes that affect the application performance The customer must meet these requirements

* Maintain consistent low I/O latency for the OLTP server.

* Guarantee I/O throughput for the OLTP server during backup time

* Allow the customer to keep the existing hardware.

Which action must be taken to meet these requirements?

AApply a traffic shaper to the FC Switch 1 interface that is facing the server

BCreate a SAN port channel between FC Switch! and FC Switch2.

CAdd another 8G link to the Serverl and create F-Port-channel

DConfigure QoS and scheduler for data traffic on both Fibre Channel switches

I'm a big fan of option C, but only if the customer has a really good arm to throw that extra 8G link at the server.

User3: Maybe they can get some help with that part, as long as it helps maintain low I/O latency.

Haha, I bet the customer wishes they had a magic wand to wave and fix this problem. But seriously, D seems like the way to go. Gotta love that quality of service!

Option B doesn't make sense to me. Creating a SAN port channel between the switches won't address the issue of high-latency spikes during backups.

But wouldn't adding another 8G link to Server1 and creating an F-Port-channel also help maintain consistent low I/O latency?
