A consulting firm is hired by Certkiller .com in an earthquake-prone area to review
their disaster plan. Review of the disaster recovery plan reveals the following: 1. Offsite backup storage is in a locked fireproof safe, with restricted key access. All tape backups are stored in this safe. 2. There is a reciprocal agreement with a sister company located two blocks from Certkiller .com's location to store each other's backup safes. Plans are in place to allow 24-hour access to backups. 3. The selected hot site is 100 miles from the normal business site. 4. A GFS( Grandfather-Father-Son) tape rotation plan is in use. What changes should be made to the plan? |
send tape backups to a more remote facility

Additional memory is being added on a server.
Which two precautions should be taken to ensure the memory is NOT damaged by ESD (electrostatic dischange) during the installation process? |
wear an antistatic wrist strap

The RAM in a server needs to be upgraded. The requirement is to use memory that
is capable of operating at 1200 MHz and can transfer data up to 10.7 GB/sec. Which type of RAM should be installed on the server? |
RDRAM
Explanation: The RDRAM device is a general purpose high performance memoryd evice suitable for use in a broadrange of applications including computer memory, graphics, video, and any other application where high bandwidth and low latency are required. The 256/288 Mb RDRAM devices are extremely highspeed CMOS DRAMs organized as 16M words by 16 or 18 bits. The use of Rambus Signaling Level (RSL) technology permits 600MHz to 1200 MHz transfer rates while using conventional system and board design technologies. The 256/288 Mb RDRAM devices are offered in a CSP horizontal package suitable for desktop as well as lowprofile add-in card and mobile applications. |

An external Ultra2 RAID storage unit is to be installed during the setup of a new
site. Which three actions will likely cause a problem when the external RAID storage unit is installed? |
1.using passive termination on the enclosure
2.connecting the subsystem to the server while it is powered up 3.powering off the RAID subsystem when the server is turned on |
|
|
A series of replacement servers are installed on a network. SNMP monitoring server
had previously been able to retrieve the statistics from the servers, but is not able to retrieve statistics from the new servers. |
SNMP community strings need to match between the servers and the SNMP
monitoring server. |

|
A server has twelve 72 GB drives configured in a RAID 5 array, with one drive as a
hot spare. It experiences a failure of one of the drives in the array. Which action should be taken? |
ensure the array has completed rebuilding, then replace the failed drive
|
|
|
A UPS is being selected for a remote office. The correct size UPS needs to be
determined. Which formula should be used to determine the load requirements? |

replace the RAID controller, as it is damaged
|
|
|
An engineer installs an SMP (Symmetrical Multi-Processing)-compliant network
operating system on a dual-processor server. The BIOS detects two processors, but only one processor is recognized by the network operating system. Which action should the engineer take to enable the SECOND processor? |
configure the network operating system kernel for SMP
|

Users report that the intranet database is slow to respond during peak use times.
The database server is on a small 150-user network and is configured with dual processors, 512 MB RAM, and a hardware-controlled RAID 5 array with three drives. The server also provides DNS and DHCP services for the intranet. Which three are ways to improve server performance? |
set processor affinity
B. add a hard drive to the RAID 5 array C. move the DNS and DHCP services to another server |
