A Dell midrange array uses iSCSI backend connectivity. The administrator notices that during peak hours, iSCSI latency increases significantly. The network team reports that the iSCSI traffic shares a VLAN with backup traffic. What is the best practice to resolve this issue?

Increase the MTU size on the iSCSI VLAN to reduce overhead.

Move iSCSI traffic to a dedicated VLAN and ensure no other traffic shares it.

Implement QoS policies to prioritize iSCSI traffic over backup traffic.

Increase the number of iSCSI sessions to each target.

A Dell midrange storage system uses SAS backend connectivity. The administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue where an expansion enclosure is not recognized by the storage system. What is the first thing to check?

Verify that the SAS cables are connected to the correct ports on both the controller and the enclosure.

Reboot the storage system to refresh the enclosure discovery.

Check the zoning configuration on the SAS switch.

Ensure that the enclosure has a valid IP address.

A Dell midrange storage system with SAS backend connectivity is experiencing a failure in one expansion enclosure. The administrator wants to ensure that the failure does not affect access to other enclosures. What is the best practice to achieve this?

Use a redundant SAS topology with each enclosure connected to both controllers.

Connect enclosures in a loop to provide a secondary path.

Connect all enclosures in a single daisy-chain to simplify cabling.

Place all enclosures on a single SAS expander to reduce cabling.

In a Dell Midrange storage system with SAS backend connectivity, what is a best practice for cabling between controllers and expansion enclosures?

Connect the expansion enclosures in a daisy-chain without connecting to the controllers

Use a single SAS cable from each controller to the first expansion enclosure

Use Ethernet cables to connect the controllers to the expansion enclosures

Connect each controller to both SAS ports on each expansion enclosure

A Dell Midrange storage system reports a backend link failure. What is a common first step to troubleshoot this issue?

Replace the disk drives immediately

Check the physical cabling and connections

Update the firmware on all disk drives
