A media company uses Isilon for active production files and wants to tier older projects to ECS to free up local capacity. They have a OneFS cluster with CloudPools enabled and an ECS bucket created. The storage administrator needs to configure the integration so that Isilon can authenticate to ECS and begin tiering. Which configuration step is required on the Isilon side?

Create a cloud pool and specify the ECS bucket as the target, providing the ECS access key and secret key for authentication.

Configure an FTP server on ECS and set it as the cloud target in the CloudPools policy.

Create an NFS export on ECS and mount it on Isilon to use as the tiering destination.

Enable SmartConnect on ECS and add the Isilon cluster as a SmartConnect zone member.

A user reports that a file tiered to ECS is showing as 'offline' in the Isilon share and cannot be opened. The administrator checks the CloudPools logs and sees that recall attempts are failing with a 'connection timeout' error. What should the administrator check first?

The ECS bucket's versioning settings.

The file's permission settings on Isilon.

The Isilon cluster's DNS settings.

Network connectivity between Isilon and ECS.

A company is considering using CloudPools to tier data to ECS. They have a mix of file sizes, from small text files to large video files. They want to minimize the number of objects in ECS to reduce management overhead. What should they consider?

Tier all files regardless of size to maximize storage savings.

Set a minimum file size threshold in the CloudPools policy to avoid tiering small files.

Use a compression algorithm in CloudPools to reduce object size.

Combine multiple files into a single archive before tiering.

A university research lab stores large datasets on Isilon. They want to tier files that have not been accessed for 6 months to ECS, but they also want to ensure that files smaller than 1 MB are not tiered to avoid overhead. Which CloudPools policy configuration should be used?

Use a SmartPools policy to tier files based on access time.

Set a file age threshold of 6 months only.

Set a minimum file size of 1 MB only.

Set both a file age threshold of 6 months and a minimum file size of 1 MB.

Which tool or interface is used to monitor CloudPools operations on Isilon?
