[All NS0-521 Questions]

A storage administrator recently implemented ISCSI SAN in a customer environment. Which two actions should be done to ensure the best performance? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

To ensure the best performance in an iSCSI SAN implementation:

Connect host and storage ports to the same switches: This minimizes latency and maximizes the efficiency of data paths by ensuring direct connections within the same network segment.

Configure Jumbo frames in the entire data path: Setting a larger Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size reduces the overhead for processing each packet, thus improving overall network performance. Ensuring Jumbo frames are configured end-to-end in the data path is crucial for optimal performance.

I think zoning the host by using the host WWPNs is crucial to ensure security and prevent unauthorized access.

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm pretty sure the correct answer is to unplug everything and see if it works better.

A and D, hands down. Connecting the ports to the same switches is a no-brainer, and jumbo frames are the secret sauce for performance.

B and C, no doubt. Reducing the queue depth and zoning the host are the way to go.
