SNIA S10-300 Exam Topics :

Section Objectives
Assessment
  • Determine topology issues relevant to solution-focused design, including fabric, loop, and point-to-point (SAN).
  • Determine disaster recovery issues relevant to solution-focused design.
  • Determine high availability issues relevant to solution-focused design (e.g., SAN redundancy, SAN failover, load balancing, quality of connection).
  • Determine the performance issues relevant to solution-focused design (e.g., random access, sequential access, fan-in/fan-out ratios, etc.)
  • Determine LAN-free/server-free issues relevant to solution-focused design (e.g., LAN Free/Server free, HSM backup configurations and strategy, etc.)
  • Assess the existing infrastructure prior to designing an FC SAN solution.  Consider bandwidth, throughput, resilience, redundancy, compatibility, scalability, protocol (FICON, SCSI, and IP) and extended fabrics.
  • Assess existing hardware and software prior to designing a SAN or NAS solution.  Consider OS and platforms, storage [tape, disk/RAID], application and management software.   
  • Assess distance limitations prior to designing a SAN or NAS solution.
  • Assess current storage prior to designing a SAN or NAS solution.   
  • Validate the design of SAN solutions (e.g., given a proof of concept).
  • Evaluate and specify hardware capabilities and software functionality to be used in SAN or NAS architectural solutions.
  • Perform needs assessment and determine Gap Analysis Solution by leveraging ITIL and ITSM principles.
  • Document the impact of I/O bus, HBA and storage directors on system performance leveraging ITIL
  • Document risk acceptance criteria leveraging ITIL
  • Verify a user’s capacity plan requirements work by sizing a new storage array.  
  • Assess the existing infrastructure to designing an IP SAN solution.  Consider bandwidth, throughput, resilience, redundancy, compatibility, scalability, protocol, (FICON, SCSI, and IP) and extended fabrics.
Planning
  • Plan for storage and server consolidation.
  • Create Capacity Planning processes and procedure for a SAN solution.
  • Build and document operating procedures for implementing storage solutions.
  • Build and document a job flow sequence for managing backup strategies.
  • Create a checklist to call out the procedures for the data management life cycle (architecture, planning, design, and implementation, from pre-sales to post-implementation).
  • Develop principles of working within the data center to facilitate efficient and error free operations.
  • Plan architecture solutions for scalability.
  • Plan architecture solutions for capacity, including throughput /bandwidth.
  • Plan architecture solutions for interoperability.
  • Plan architecture solutions for security (e.g., LUN mapping, LUN masking, persistent binding, soft and hard zoning, etc.).
  • Plan FC SAN solution to accommodate heterogeneous or homogeneous operating systems.
  • Plan for the manageability of the SAN or NAS infrastructure.
  • Plan SAN and NAS models (e.g., mesh, star, and hybrid configurations, core/edge, two-tier/three-tier, 2 Gb/1Gb ports, hubs/switches/directors).
  • Plan migrations to FC SAN solutions (interconnecting devices, from existing infrastructure to a new design).
  • Create a Capacity Planning process and procedures for a NAS solution.
  • Plan IP SAN solutions to accommodate heterogeneous or homogeneous operating systems.
Design
  • Design high availability strategies.
  • Design a storage area network within such constraints as financial, performance, hardware, connectivity,  physical building limitations (leveraging ITIL and ITSM principles).
  • Design a backup and recovery strategy.
  • Design and document disaster recovery solutions.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of Storage Management Design (and the design characteristics of a standard e.g., SMI, shared storage model).
  • Given a scenario, design logical recovery strategies.
  • Design fault tolerant solutions and strategies.
  • Design failover solutions.
  • Design clustering systems solutions.
  • Define the steps to make a volume usable through a SAN.
  • Design disk recovery methods.
  • Design database to storage layout strategies.
  • Design a NAS solution, defining the ipact on local and wide area network topologies.
Problem Resolution and Troubleshooting
  • Create QA strategy and procedures (leveraging ITIL)
  • Manage an error free operation through measurement criteria that are quantifiable (leveraging ITIL)
