A technician wants to install a new version of OMSA onto a server that already has an existing version of OMSA.
What is required for this new installation?
- A . iSM must also be installed on the managed server
- B . iDRAC firmware needs to be at version 5.0 or higher
- C . Existing OMSA version must be disabled in Services
- D . Existing OMSA must be uninstalled before the new version is installed
A user has a drive failure on a server with four identical drives configured in a RAID 5 setup and no spare. The technician arrives and switches the bad drive with an identical new drive and completes a rebuild. A month later the user complains that the RAID configuration is a little slower than it was before the failure.
What action should the technician take?
- A . Replace the drive that was recently installed
- B . Power down the server, reseat the backplane cables on each drive then power on the server
- C . Run a Patrol Read
- D . Check if the firmware on the newly replaced drive matches the existing drives in the RAID configuration
A technician suspects that a firmware revision is corrupt. A newer revision is not available and the customer does not want to downgrade to a lower revision.
What should be done when troubleshooting for possible corrupt firmware?
- A . Upload the same firmware revision level
- B . Reset the iDRAC
- C . Use the Lifecycle Controller Parts Replacement feature to bring the components up to the latest firmware revision levels
- D . Disable and re-enable the component then reboot the server
A technician has a 13G system that is giving NO video to a crash cart connected to the front VGA port. The LCD is NOT reporting any errors.
The system reports ‘CPU Resetting’ messages sporadically in the lifecycle log. The iDRAC runs an Express license. The technician needs to most efficiently determine if the system is completing POST despite the video issue.
Which two steps should the technician take to perform this task? (Choose two.)
- A . Reduce to minimum to post
- B . Launch the iDRAC virtual console
- C . Connect to rear VGA port
- D . Hold the system identification button for 6 seconds
A company has an environment with multiple AD forests in a one-way trust relationship. The AD provider on the cluster is configured with SFU.
The trusted domains are failing to supply UIDs and GIDs to the Dell EMC Isilon cluster. As a result, users from the trusted domain are receiving an “access denied” error message.
What is a possible reason for the denial?
- A . Non-transitive forest trust is required for cross domain lookups.
- B . Transitive external two-way trust is required for cross domain lookups.
- C . Non-transitive external two-way trust is required for cross domain lookups.
- D . Transitive forest trust is required for cross domain lookups.
A technician needs to connect a server to a network but the network switch has only two available network ports so only two network cables can be connected. The user needs as much bandwidth as possible for their workload so the two network cables need to connect to LOM1 and LOM2.
At some point in the future a new network switch will enable additional cables to be used. The technician wants to satisfy the user requirements yet still be able to access the iDRAC without having to reconfigure the iDRAC once new cables are installed in the iDRAC Dedicated NIC.
What is the best way to configure the iDRAC?
- A . Use a splitter cable in one of the network switch ports to connect the same cable to both LOM1 and the iDRAC dedicated NIC
- B . Use a splitter cable in one of the network switch ports to connect the same cable to both LOM1 and LOM2 with the second network cable connecting to the iDRAC dedicated NIC
- C . Set up a dedicated NIC with LOM1 as the NIC selection
- D . Set up a shared NIC with LOM1 as the NIC selection with Auto Dedicated NIC selected

Case Study 5 – Refer to the Exhibit.
Backing up data from a Dell EMC Isilon cluster exceeds the company’s backup window. Because the company has a large amount of data with a continuous high growth rate, they want to change their backup strategy. The Gen 6 Isilon cluster consists of 24 nodes.
Their current backup strategy is an NDMP three-way backup performing weekly full backups to tape and incremental backups each night. The strategy uses Dell EMC Net Worker. The DMA uses Include paths to specify what data to backup. All data on the cluster must remain accessible.
The company’s IT team is now looking for a method to increase the performance of their backups. After some investigation, you notice that the backup job targets two paths. This could be the cause of the lengthy backup times.
What advice should be provided to the team?
- A . Exclude the largest datasets from the backup job
- B . Add A100 Backup Accelerators and configure for two-way NDMP
- C . Create more parallel streams to utilize multi-stream NDMP backups.
- D . Change the backup strategy to token-based backups.
