Question 220An S2D workload suffers timeouts because SMB storage traffic shares a congested management path and its RDMA adapters are misconfigured. How can administrators make this correction durable through future changes? Continuously monitor storage-network intent and adapter firmware to avoid reintroducing loss or congestion. Document enclosure, rack and site topology in storage design reviews and after host relocation. Require an S2D-aware upgrade test plan and sufficient resiliency capacity for sequential maintenance. Standardize S2D node hardware lists and firmware versions before onboarding replacement disks or hosts. ExplanationCorrect Answer A:Continuously monitor storage-network intent and adapter firmware to avoid reintroducing loss or congestion. This preventive control maintains the intended protection because s2D storage depends on reliable low-latency SMB data paths; RDMA settings and congestion can dominate observed I/O performance. The initial action remains: Configure supported SMB Direct or Multichannel networks with correct RDMA, QoS and converged-network settings for the host architecture. Other Answers B:S2D placement and resiliency work best when physical failure boundaries reflect actual rack or site dependencies. The stronger recurring control is to continuously monitor storage-network intent and adapter firmware to avoid reintroducing loss or congestion. C:Cluster and S2D updates must preserve data redundancy and service ownership while individual nodes are temporarily unavailable. Reducing this risk requires a practice to continuously monitor storage-network intent and adapter firmware to avoid reintroducing loss or congestion. D:S2D aggregates eligible local storage across validated nodes; mismatched unsupported components can compromise pool creation and reliability. The lasting safeguard is to continuously monitor storage-network intent and adapter firmware to avoid reintroducing loss or congestion.
Question 221A failed S2D physical drive was replaced but the pool still reports degraded virtual disk resiliency and incomplete repair jobs. What should the administrator change first to resolve the stated issue? Configure supported site or rack fault-domain awareness and select resiliency that tolerates the documented correlated failure. Check S2D repair and storage job status, then allow supported reconstruction to finish before declaring recovery complete. Replace unsupported drive or adapter configurations and rerun Storage Spaces Direct prerequisite validation before enabling the storage pool. Use the supported node-drain, update, validation and resume sequence while monitoring Storage Spaces Direct pool and volume health. ExplanationCorrect Answer B:Check S2D repair and storage job status, then allow supported reconstruction to finish before declaring recovery complete.
