Question 1

An architect must justify the storage tier mix for a new AOS cluster running an OLTP database. Which Stargate behavior most directly drives the recommendation to keep the SSD tier above 20% of total capacity?

Stargate writes all OpLog data to HDD by default and only promotes to SSD after Curator scans Stargate uses the SSD tier for OpLog (random write) and the unified cache, so insufficient SSD increases write latency and read miss penalty Stargate can only mirror metadata across HDDs when SSD utilization is below 20% Stargate disables compression when the SSD tier exceeds 20% utilization

Correct Answer:

Stargate uses the SSD tier for OpLog (random write) and the unified cache, so insufficient SSD increases write latency and read miss penalty

Question 2

A workload shows high read latency on a container with EC-X enabled. Curator scans run normally and the working set fits the SSD tier. Which design tradeoff best explains the latency?

EC-X stripes data across nodes, so reads of cold strips can incur additional network and rebuild compute compared to RF2 mirrored extents EC-X disables the unified cache for any container that uses erasure coding EC-X requires synchronous reads from all RF copies, doubling the network traffic EC-X stores the parity strip on the same node as the data, eliminating data locality

Correct Answer:

EC-X stripes data across nodes, so reads of cold strips can incur additional network and rebuild compute compared to RF2 mirrored extents

Question 3

Which AOS service is responsible for cluster configuration, leadership election, and lock service for distributed components?

Cassandra Zookeeper Curator Genesis

Correct Answer:

Zookeeper

Question 4

An architect must reclaim space on a dense 12-node AHV cluster used for cool archives. The workload is mostly sequential, write-once. Which combination of storage container settings best matches the goal of minimum capacity overhead while preserving acceptable read performance?

Inline compression off, post-process compression on, deduplication on, EC-X on Inline compression on, post-process compression off, deduplication off, EC-X on Inline compression off, post-process compression off, deduplication on, EC-X off Inline compression on, post-process compression on, deduplication on, EC-X off

Correct Answer:

Inline compression on, post-process compression off, deduplication off, EC-X on

Question 5

A cluster shows persistent Curator full-scan delays. Which symptom is the strongest indicator that Curator capacity is the bottleneck rather than Stargate?

I/O latency at the VM level rises during peak hours Background tasks such as EC-X encoding, dedup post-process, and tier rebalancing fall behind the configured target lag OpLog flush rate increases linearly with workload vDisk creation operations time out in Prism

Correct Answer:

Background tasks such as EC-X encoding, dedup post-process, and tier rebalancing fall behind the configured target lag
