administrator is going to restore the data files from a snapshot. What should be done first?

A. do nothing

B. restore the database to a different server

C. copy the production server recovery logs to a safe location

correct?

A. LUN mask volumes to all nodes

B. do not perform LUN masking in a cluster

C. LUN mask volumes to the appropriate cluster alias

Answer: A

14. Given point-to-point, bus, loop and Fabric topologies, which solution would be considered a mixed

topology approach using three separate but interconnected topologies?

A. a Fibre Channel-based storage network using Fabric switches with both loop attached and point-to-point

attached servers and storage

B. a cluster of servers connecting to Ethernet switches with a combination NAS Gateway Object storage

system for file sharing and block access

C. a mixed Serial ATA (SATA) and Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) solution using expanders where the SATA

disks and the SAS disks share connectivity to the expanders

D. an Ethernet-based iSCSI storage network using Ethernet hubs connected to Ethernet switches with the
