Dell EMC Exam DES-3128 Topic 1 Question 31 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's DES-3128 exam

Question #: 31
Topic #: 1

An administrator wants to make sure Oracle backups only use a specific storage node.

Use the simulator to configure an AFTD Device on "StorageNodeA" with the name "OracleBackup" using the folder "D \AFTD" to the pool "Default". This storage node should be a dedicated storage node

When you have finished, continue to the next question.

AExplanation:
To configure an AFTD device on 'StorageNodeA' with the name 'OracleBackup' using the folder 'D:\AFTD' to the pool 'Default', the administrator can use the Data Domain CLI (Command Line Interface) to access the Data Domain system and create the AFTD device. Here are the steps:
Log in to the Data Domain CLI by entering the following command:
ssh admin@StorageNodeA
Once logged in, create a new AFTD device named 'OracleBackup' by entering the following command:
ddboost afd create --name OracleBackup --pool Default --folder D:\AFTD
Verify that the new AFTD device has been created by running the following command:
ddboost afd show --name OracleBackup
To make sure that the Oracle backups only use the specific storage node, you can assign the AFTD device to the Oracle backup host by running the following command:
ddboost afd set --name OracleBackup --host OracleBackupHost
Verify the configuration by running the following command:
ddboost afd show --name OracleBackup
To make sure that the StorageNodeA is a dedicated storage node, you can configure the storage node to only allow the OracleBackup host to use the AFTD device by running the following command:
ddboost host access add --host OracleBackupHost --afd OracleBackup
Finally, the administrator should select the ''Apply'' button to save the configuration.

This question seems straightforward enough, but I'm a little curious about the potential implications of making a storage node 'dedicated.' I wonder if there are any performance or scalability considerations to keep in mind. Maybe I'll ask the proctor about that during the break.

Haha, 'StorageNodeA' - I wonder if that's a placeholder name or if the exam is just really creative with their node names. Either way, I'm ready to dive in and configure this AFTD device. Gotta make sure those Oracle backups are locked down tight!
