NO.42 The administrator needs to remove a volume from a ratcheted protection group.
How can this be accomplished?

Contact Pure Storage Support to help unlock the pgroup.

Go to the pgroup in the GUI and unlock the pgroup.

Unlock the pgroup by using the CLI.

NO.43 An ActiveCluster (AC) FlashArray pair lost connectivity with each other over the replication network. When the pod failover occurred, a single volume in the stretched pod lost connectivity to its host while other volumes in the stretched pod remained available to the host.
What is the most likely cause of the loss of stretched volume connectivity from the host?

Uniform volume access was not configured for the volume from the host.

Fibre Channel (FC) zoning or network access has not been created properly for the host.

The host initiators were not registered in Purity for the host.

NO.44 When is it possible to simulate snapshot policies in the Pure1 Snapshot Policies (SafeMode)?

When a FlashArray has existing snapshots

When a FlashArray does not have existing snapshots

When a FlashArray has an existing saved workload simulation

NO.45 What is the recommended Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size for the replication ports on a FlashArray?

4200

1500

9000

NO.46 Which storage protocol is best suited for a Hyper-V cluster in an ethernet-switched environment?

NVMe/FC

NVMe/RoCE

iSCSI

NO.47 A customer is managing a VMware environment and has recently copied a snapshot from a Pure Storage array to a new volume. When attempting to mount this volume on a VMware virtual machine, the operation fails.
How should this be resolved?

Resignature the volume.

Reformat the volume.

Adjust the VMware security settings.

NO.48 Where can a snapshot be copied out to?

A new volume or existing volume

A new volume or new Snapshot

An existing volume or new Snapshot

NO.49 In Pure Protect //DRaaS, the administrator modified the business policy used for backups, reducing the “DR Retention” from 7 days to 3 days. The DR target environment currently has 7 days of backups.
What will occur?

The change will error out, requiring manual expiration of backups older than 3 days.

Earlier backups will be erased to match the modified policy.

Earlier backups will be retained until they expire according to the pre-modification policy, with new backups following the updated policy.

NO.50 FlashArray sent Alert 51 – Protection Group Replication Delayed.
What steps should be taken?

Verify if there are any other open alerts, check if any other replication jobs are in progress, and verify current replication bandwidth.

Check for other open alerts, verify if the replication cabling is correct, and check if Protection Group was disabled.

Temporarily disconnect replication for troubleshooting, verify the size of the snapshot, and check for port errors in the FlashArray GUI.

NO.51 What is a potential indicator of incorrect configuration on a Pure Storage FlashArray?

Blinking status LED on the controller

CRC errors on a single port

Unusual spikes in latency or IOPS

NO.52 What FA File user authentication statement is correct?

FA File can use either Microsoft Active Directory (AD) or OpenLDAP for authentication.

FA File can use both Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and SSO for authentication.

FA File can use either LDAP or SAML for authentication.

NO.53 How would a FlashArray administrator view external latency for write requests for a specific volume?

Analysis; Performance; Volumes; Select the appropriate volume; Select “Write” and Deselect “Read” and “Mirrored Write”

Health; Network; Select the appropriate protocol; Select the appropriate port

Storage; Volumes; Select the appropriate volume; Details

NO.54 What is indicated by the Fibre Channel (FC) hosts in the following output?

Host multipathing detected a failed path and redirected workloads.

Hosts connected to CT1 are experiencing an outage.

CT1 port WWNs are being presented via CT0.

NO.55 What is the proper configuration method to connect a volume to multiple hosts?

Connect the volume to a host group.

Connect a volume group to the host.

Connect the volume to each individual host.

NO.56 What is unified storage for Pure?

FlashArray runs both NFS and SMB protocols.

FlashArray runs both iSCSI and Fibre Channel (FC) protocols.

FlashArray runs both Block and File level protocols.

NO.57 An administrator wants to upgrade an Edge Services agent and sees the Gateway Update Status in the GUI showing “Eligible (updates disallowed)”.
What should the administrator do?

Enable agent updates via cli with the command “puresupport enable edge-agent-update”.

Remove and re-install the edge agent you want to update.

NO.58 A FlashArray is configured to use directory services. A user is a member of the groups associated with both Array Admin and Storage Admin.
What will the user experience when logging into the array?

Inability to login

Storage Admin permissions

Array Admin permissions

NO.59 What is the best practice for configuring VMFS UNMAP for ESXi 6.7 or later?

Set it to Fixed at 500MB/s.

Set it to Auto with High Priority.

Set it to Auto with Low Priority.

Which command provides that information?

pureaudit list — puremessage

pureaudit list

puremessage list

NO.61 An administrator is attempting to add a volume to a volume group but it does not show up in the list of volumes available to move in, even though it does show up in the volumes pane.
