Huawei H13-624_V5.5 HCIP-Storage V5.5 Exam Practice Test

The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 5: Storage System Maintenance and Troubleshooting)* details management tools:

- Option A: False. “SmartKit is used for hardware inspection, OS installation, and firmware upgrades, but it does not provide alarm reporting, file upload, or remote access capabilities.”

- Option B: True. “DeviceManager supports resource allocation, user management, data protection, performance monitoring, and alarm management.”

- Option C: True. “DME IQ provides cloud-based management, remote maintenance, and predictive analytics.”

- Option D: True. “The CLI supports all listed functions, including resource allocation and alarm management.”

Thus, option A is false.

The question focuses on the running statuses of remote replication pairs in Huawei’s flash storage systems, such as OceanStor Dorado. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 4: StorageDesign and Implementation)* details the remote replication feature and its statuses. The material states: “When the pair running status is ‘Normal,’ the remote replication pair is fully synchronized, meaning data between the primary and secondary LUNs is consistent, and synchronization is complete.” This matches option C.

- Option A: Incorrect. The training material indicates that if a pair is deleted from one site, causing inconsistency, the status may not necessarily change to “To be recovered.” Instead, it may require manual intervention or reconfiguration, and “To be recovered” is typically associated with link failures or incomplete synchronization, not deletion.

- Option B: Incorrect. The “Split” status occurs when the pair relationship is interrupted, but it can be due to manual intervention or automatic triggers (e.g., link failure). The parenthetical “not manually” is misleading, as the material does not restrict “Split” to non-manual causes.

- Option D: Incorrect. The “To be synchronized” status indicates that the pair is preparing for synchronization but is not yet consistent. There is no requirement to manually disconnect the pair for single LUN service needs, as the system can operate with the primary LUN independently during this state.

Thus, option C is the only accurate statement based on official documentation.

This question addresses the behavior of remote replication during a primary/secondary switchover in Huawei flash storage systems, such as OceanStor Dorado. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 4: Storage Design and Implementation)* explains: “During a primary/secondary switchover in remote replication, the secondary site becomes the primary site and starts accepting write I/Os. The original primary site, if available, becomes the secondary site. Data changes are tracked incrementally, but full synchronization does not occur automatically after the switchover unless explicitly configured or triggered by a fault recovery process.” The question’s statement that “all data will be synchronized” implies an automatic full synchronization, which is not the default behavior. Instead, only incremental changes are synchronized when replication resumes, making the statement false.

The OceanStor Pacific parallel file system service is designed for high-performance file access. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 3: Scale-Out Storage Technologies)* explains: “The parallel file system aggregates small I/Os in cache to optimize latency and small file utilization. Large I/Os are forwarded to the home node, bypassing scale-out locks to reduce latency. Large I/Os use passthrough mode for direct disk writes, enhancing bandwidth. The system uses dynamic indexing, not fixed-length large-granularity indexes, to adapt to varying I/O patterns.” Let’s evaluate:

- Option A: True. The material confirms small I/O aggregation in cache for better latency.

- Option B: False. The system uses dynamic, not fixed-length, indexing, making this statement incorrect.

- Option C: True. Direct forwarding to the home node reduces lock overhead and latency.

- Option D: True. Passthrough mode for large I/Os improves bandwidth, as per the material.

Thus, option B is false.

This question tests knowledge of the Huawei OceanStor Dorado series architecture, as covered in the *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 2: Flash Storage Technologies)*. Let’s evaluate each option:

- Option A: True. The material confirms: “The back-end shared interface module of OceanStor Dorado 18000 is inserted into the enclosure, allowing simultaneous access to disk enclosures by all controllers in the engine.”

- Option B: True. The material states: “Dorado V6 series and converged storage products adopt the PCIe Scale-Out architecture for high-performance interconnects.”

- Option C: False. The material specifies: “OceanStor Dorado 18000 uses 100 Gbit/s RDMA shared interface modules for cross-engine expansion, supporting full interconnection between 8, 12, and 16 controllers.” The claim of 200 Gbit/s RDMA is incorrect, as 100 Gbit/s is the standard for Dorado 18000.

- Option D: True. The material notes: “OceanStor Dorado 18000 supports up to 28 interface modules and uses a 100 Gbit/s RDMA network for intra-engine mirroring and cross-engine interconnection.”

Thus, option C is false due to the incorrect RDMA speed.

Disk replacement in Huawei OceanStor Pacific 9950 is covered in the *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 5: Storage System Maintenance and Troubleshooting)*: “SmartKit guides disk replacement, requiring engineers to complete pre-processing steps, such as isolating the faulty disk and verifying redundancy, before proceeding with removal and installation.” Let’s evaluate:

- Option A: Incorrect. The material does not specify a 60-second wait after disconnecting the disk; it emphasizes immediate removal after pre-processing.

- Option B: Correct. The material confirms that SmartKit prompts for pre-processing (e.g., disabling the disk) before replacement.

- Option C: Incorrect. There is no 10-minute limit for heat dissipation concerns; the focus is on quick replacement to minimize reconstruction time.

- Option D: Incorrect. No specific 10-second interval is required to prevent disk damage; the material advises prompt insertion after removal.

Thus, option B is true.

The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 5: Storage System Maintenance and Troubleshooting)* addresses host-side performance issues: “Outdated HBA drivers or insufficient concurrent HBAs can cause high host latency. Upgrading the HBA driver to the latest version ensures compatibility and performance. Adjusting the multipathing software’s load balancing algorithm to min-task optimizes I/O distribution across paths, reducing latency.” Let’s evaluate:

- Option A: Incorrect. HBA vendor software may query settings, but modifying concurrent HBAs is typically a firmware or driver-level task, not a standard management software function.

- Option B: Correct. Upgrading the HBA driver resolves compatibility and performance issues.

- Option C: Correct. The min-task algorithm balances I/O to minimize queuing delays.

- Option D: Incorrect. Cache prefetch policies affect storage-side performance, not host-side latency caused by HBA issues.

Thus, options B and C are the correct measures.

The SmartEncryption feature in Huawei OceanStor Pacific ensures data security. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 3: Scale-Out Storage Technologies)* explains:

- Option A: True. “For DPC or NFS reads, self-encrypting disks (SEDs) retrieve authentication keys from the key management server, decrypt ciphertext, and return plaintext to the protocol layer.”

- Option B: True. “SmartEncryption supports encrypted writes and decrypted reads via NFS, CIFS, HDFS, and S3 protocols.”

- Option C: False. “SmartEncryption encrypts data at the storage layer. Clients using NFS, CIFS, or DPC write data that is automatically encrypted by the system before storage, not written as plaintext.”

- Option D: True. “OceanStor Pacific uses SEDs for disk-level encryption, ensuring all service data is encrypted.”

Thus, option C is false.

Changing the management network port IP in Huawei flash storage systems is a common initialization task. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 5: Storage System Maintenance and Troubleshooting)* states:

- Option A: False. “The CLI command to change the management IP is ‘change system management_ip_address,’ not ‘change system management_ip.’”

- Option B: True. “Management and maintenance network ports must use different network segments to avoid routing conflicts.”

- _Index C: False. “No license is required to change the management network port IP address; it is a basic configuration task.”

- Option D: True. “For serial port login, the maintenance terminal’s IP and the default management IP must be in the same segment to establish connectivity.”

Thus, options A and C are false.

The SmartMigration feature in Huawei OceanStor Dorado enables seamless data migration between LUNs, as detailed in the *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 4: Storage Design and Implementation)*. Let’s analyze each option:

- Option A: True. The material states: “SmartMigration between heterogeneous storage systems relies on SmartVirtualization to take over the source LUN, ensuring compatibility and seamless migration.”

- Option B: True. The material confirms: “The target LUN capacity must be greater than or equal to the source LUN capacity to accommodate all data during migration.”

- Option C: True. The material notes: “A LUN already mapped to an application server cannot be used as the target LUN for SmartMigration, as it would disrupt existing mappings.”

- Option D: False. The material explains: “The migration rate affects system resources. Setting the highest migration rate under heavy host service load can degrade performance due to resource contention. The rate should be adjusted based on load to minimize impact.” This makes the statement false, as high migration rates are not recommended during heavy loads.

Thus, option D is false.

The Distributed Parallel Client (DPC) in Huawei OceanStor Pacific systems enables parallel file access. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 3: Scale-Out Storage Technologies)* explains: “When adding DPC nodes, engineers can manually add nodes using DeviceManager by entering the management IP address of the node, not the service IP address. The management IP is used to establish control plane communication for node integration.” The service IP address is used for data access by clients, not for node creation or management tasks. Therefore, the statement that the engineer can add a node using the service IP address is false.

The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 5: Storage System Maintenance and Troubleshooting)* describes DME IQ: “DME IQ is a cloud-based management service that supports uploading performance logs and Disk Health Analysis (DHA) logs from Huawei flash storage. DHA logs include routine disk run data, such as health status and I/O statistics, used for predictive maintenance.” This confirms the statement is true.

This question tests knowledge of disk status indicators in Huawei OceanStor Pacific 9950 systems. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 5: Storage System Maintenance and Troubleshooting)* provides details on disk module indicators: “A steady yellow location indicator on a main storage disk module indicates that the disk is faulty or about to fail. This status signals that the disk requires attention, such as replacement, to prevent data loss or service disruption.” The material further clarifies the following for other options:

- Option A: Incorrect. A blinking yellow indicator, not a steady one, typically indicates that the disk is being located (e.g., via DeviceManager or CLI).

- Option B: Incorrect. A steady green indicator signifies that the disk is running properly.

- Option C: Incorrect. A powered-off disk would have no indicator light or a specific power-off signal, not a steady yellow light.

Thus, option D accurately describes the disk’s status.

Configuring iSCSI block services on Huawei scale-out storage, like OceanStor Pacific, involves specific steps. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 4: Storage Design and Implementation)* states: “To enable iSCSI block services, the engineer must create a block storage pool to allocate storage resources and configure the iSCSI service to set up initiator-target relationships and network parameters.” Let’s evaluate:

- Option A: Required. A block storage pool is necessary to provide the capacity for iSCSI LUNs.

- Option B: Required. Configuring the iSCSI service is essential to enable the protocol and connectivity.

- Option C: Not required. DPC is used for file services, not iSCSI block services.

- Option D: Not required. DPC installation is unrelated to iSCSI configuration.

Thus, options A and B are mandatory.

The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 5: Storage System Maintenance and Troubleshooting)* describes the tools used for Huawei storage system deployment: “The Storage Deployment Tool (SDT) is designed to streamline software installation for Huawei storage systems. SDT collects and evaluates compatibility information in a one-stop manner and supports batch installation of UltraPath, the multipathing software, enhancing installation efficiency.” The SDT automates and simplifies deployment tasks, making it the correct tool for this description.

The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 5: Storage System Maintenance and Troubleshooting)* outlines troubleshooting principles: “Basic troubleshooting principles include prioritizing high-severity alarms, analyzing external factors (e.g., network or host issues) before internal storage issues, and addressing network alarms before network element (NE) alarms to rule out connectivity issues.” Let’s evaluate:

- Option A: Correct principle. Network alarms are analyzed first to exclude external connectivity issues.

- Option B: Not a principle. The material does not prioritize general alarms over specific ones; it focuses on severity and context.

- Option C: Correct principle. Higher-severity alarms are addressed first to mitigate critical issues.

- Option D: Correct principle. External factors are checked before internal storage issues.

Thus, option B is not a basic troubleshooting principle.

Syslog configuration in Huawei flash storage systems enables alarm and event logging. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 5: Storage System Maintenance and Troubleshooting)* explains:

- Option A: False. “Syslog configuration does not require SNMP or USM user setup, as Syslog operates independently for log forwarding.”

- Option B: True. “The ‘show notification syslog’ command displays the Syslog configuration, including content format.”

- Option C: True. “The ‘change syslog-notification format_type=cef’ command sets the Syslog format to Common Event Format (CEF).”

- Option D: False. “If the Syslog server uses certificates, the storage system must import the server’s CA certificate to establish secure communication.”

Thus, options A and D are false.

The HyperClone feature in Huawei OceanStor Dorado systems creates full data copies for reliability and testing. The *HCIP-Storage V5.5 Training Material (Module 2: Flash Storage Technologies)* states: “HyperClone creates a full copy of a source LUN to a target LUN. A source LUN can form multiple HyperClone pairs with different target LUNs. Data copying starts at synchronization, but hosts must wait for the copy to complete before accessing the target LUN. HyperClone supports bidirectional synchronization, allowing data restoration from target to source. For block storage, it uses redirect-on-write (ROW), while file system clones use copy-on-write (COW).” Let’s evaluate:

- Option A: False. The material confirms that a source LUN can form multiple HyperClone pairs with different target LUNs.

- Option B: False. Hosts cannot access the target LUN until the copy process completes, contrary to the statement.

- Option C: True. Bidirectional synchronization is supported, including restoration from target to source.

- Option D: True. The material distinguishes ROW for block clones and COW for file system clones.

Thus, options A and B are false.
