The total cache availability for caching the flash drives on a Dell Unity XT 480 system with one pool of flash drives, 192 GB of RAM, and 1.2 TB of FAST Cache is 3.58 TB. This is calculated by adding the system memory (RAM), the FAST Cache, and the pool cache. The system memory is 192 GB, which is equivalent to 0.18 TB. The FAST Cache is 1.2 TB, which is a dedicated cache for the flash drives. The pool cache is 2.2 TB, which is a portion of the flash drives that is reserved for caching the pool data. Therefore, the total cache availability is 0.18 + 1.2 + 2.2 = 3.58 TB.

The snapshot option that is set automatically when a pool is configured is the Pool Automatic Deletion Policy. This option determines how the system handles the deletion of snapshots when the pool reaches a certain threshold of capacity utilization. The user can choose between three policies: Never Delete, Delete Oldest, or Delete LowestPriority. The Total Pool Consumption and the Snapshot Pool Consumption are not snapshot options, but rather metrics that show the amount of pool space consumed by the pool data and the snapshots respectively.

When Advanced Deduplication is disabled on a LUN, the existing data that was deduplicated remains in its reduced state, and only new data written to the LUN is not deduplicated. To remove the Advanced Deduplication savings from the LUN, the administrator must perform a Local LUN Move operation, which copies the data from the source LUN to a destination LUN without deduplication. The destination LUN must have Advanced Deduplication disabled, and must be in the same storage pool as the source LUN. After the Local LUN Move is completed, the source LUN can be deleted and the destination LUN can be renamed as the original LUN. References: Dell Unity: Data Reduction2, page 9.

The service task that the administrator should perform to fix the issue with minimal impact is Restart Management Software. This service task restarts the management software on both storage processors without affecting the data services or the host I/O. This can resolve the communication issues between Unisphere and the storage system. Reinitialize, Enable SSH, and Reboot Storage Processor are service tasks that have more impact and risk than Restart Management Software.

When deploying Dell UnityVSA OVA, the recommended disk format is Thick Provision Eager Zeroed, which allocates and zeroes out all the space for the virtual disks at the time of creation. This ensures better performance and avoids potential issues with thin provisioning on the underlying storage. Thin Provision and Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed are not recommended, as they may cause performance degradation and unexpected out-of-space errors.

The correct sequence of steps to provision storage for SMB NAS clients is:

• Group hard drives into storage pools. This allows you to create a pool of storage resources that can be allocated to different types of storage objects, such as NAS servers, file systems, and LUNs.You can create different pools based on the performance and capacity requirements of your applications1
• Create a NAS server for an existing pool. A NAS server is a logical entity that provides file-level access to clients using SMB, NFS, or FTP/SFTP protocols. You need to create a NAS server before you can create file systems and shares.You can specify the pool, network settings, domain membership, and other properties for the NAS server2
• Create file systems and file system shares based on the supported NAS protocol. A file system is a logical container that stores files and folders on a NAS server. A file system share is a logical representation of a file system that can be accessed by clients using a specific protocol. For SMB NAS clients, you need to create SMB file system shares that support the SMB protocol.You can configure the share name, permissions, access policies, and other settings for the SMB share3
• Map the shared file system to the client. This allows the client to access the files and folders on the SMB share using a drive letter or a UNC path.You can use the Windows Explorer or the net use command to map the shared file system to the client4
