Pure Storage Pure Certified FlashArray Storage Professional Sample Questions (Q27-Q32):

NEW QUESTION # 27
Refer to the exhibit:

What is the most likely cause of system space in this capacity graph?

  • A. SafeMode was enabled on the system.
  • B. Large volume destroyed and eradicated.
  • C. Space reclamation stopped working properly.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Analyzing the Graph: The provided capacity graph shows a sharp, vertical drop in Unique and Shared space (the teal/green sections) at approximately 10:45. Simultaneously, there is a massive spike in System space (the grey shaded area).
The "System" Space Spike: In Purity, when a volume is deleted and eradicated, the data isn't physically wiped from the flash modules instantly. Instead, the logical references are removed, and the blocks are moved into a "Pending Reclamation" state. In older versions of Purity reporting (or specific views), this pending work is often categorized under System space until the background Garbage Collection (GC) process can physically reclaim it.
The Decay Curve: Notice the grey "System" area gradually tapers down over the following hours (from 11:00 to 14:00). This is the visual representation of the array's Garbage Collection engine working in the background to physically free up those blocks.
Why Option C is incorrect: If SafeMode were enabled, the space would not move into "System" space in this manner; it would remain locked in the Snapshots or Destroyed bucket for the duration of the retention period, preventing the graph from dropping at all.
Why Option A is incorrect: If space reclamation stopped working, the grey "System" area would stay flat and would not decay over time. The fact that it is trending downward proves that reclamation is actively processing the deleted volume.

 

NEW QUESTION # 28
Which storage protocol is best suited for a Hyper-V cluster in an ethernet-switched environment?

  • A. NVMe/FC
  • B. NVMe/RoCE
  • C. iSCSI

Answer: C

Explanation:
Protocol Compatibility: While NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF) is the future of high-performance storage, support for it within specific hypervisor ecosystems varies. In the context of Microsoft Hyper-V, especially in older or standard Ethernet-switched environments, iSCSI remains the most mature, widely supported, and native protocol for block storage.
Ethernet Constraints: The question specifies an Ethernet-switched environment. This immediately rules out NVMe/FC (NVMe over Fibre Channel), as that requires dedicated Fibre Channel switching infrastructure and HBAs, not standard Ethernet.
NVMe/RoCE vs. iSCSI: While NVMe/RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) runs on Ethernet, it requires specialized NICs (RDMA-capable) and a specific switch configuration (PFC/LFC) to ensure a lossless fabric. Hyper-V has specific requirements for RoCE (often tied to SMB Direct for File services), but for general block storage volumes in a standard Ethernet environment, iSCSI is the "best suited" due to its ease of deployment, native Windows initiator support, and lack of requirement for specialized lossless hardware.
Pure Storage Best Practices: Pure Storage FlashArrays provide industry-leading iSCSI performance. When using iSCSI with Hyper-V, Pure recommends using the native Windows MPIO (Multi-Path I/O) with the "Least Queue Depth" policy to ensure optimal load balancing across the Ethernet fabric.

 

NEW QUESTION # 29
An administrator is testing FA File Services configurations and unintentionally disabled User Mapping on an active NFS Export.
What happens to file accessibility on that export?

  • A. The changes to authentication will not be applied until the export is restarted.
  • B. The export will lose accessibility to all existing files but have no issue with file creation.
  • C. The export will retain accessibility to all existing files but new files can not be created.

Answer: B

Explanation:
User Mapping in FA File: On a Pure Storage FlashArray, User Mapping is the mechanism that translates identities between different protocols (like mapping a Windows SID to a Unix UID/GID) or between an external directory service (like Active Directory or LDAP) and the local file system permissions.
The Impact of Disabling Mapping: When User Mapping is disabled on an active NFS export, the FlashArray can no longer resolve the identity of the user attempting to access existing files. Because NFS (specifically NFSv3 and NFSv4.1 supported by Pure) relies on these identifiers to verify file ownership and ACLs, existing files-which are tagged with specific owner IDs-become effectively "orphaned" from the perspective of the incoming request.
Access vs. Creation: * Existing Files: Accessibility is lost because the system cannot verify that the user has the rights to read or modify the file without the mapping logic.
New Files: Interestingly, in many "No Mapping" configurations, a user may still be able to create new files (often defaulting to a 'nobody' or 'anonymous' UID depending on the export rules), but they will immediately lose the ability to manage or access them once created because the mapping link is broken.
Real-time Application: Unlike some legacy storage systems that require a service restart, Purity applies export policy changes dynamically. As soon as the "User Mapping" toggle is disabled, the logic is removed from the data path, impacting active sessions immediately.

 

NEW QUESTION # 30
What is unified storage for Pure?

  • A. FlashArray runs both NFS and SMB protocols.
  • B. FlashArray runs both iSCSI and Fibre Channel (FC) protocols.
  • C. FlashArray runs both Block and File level protocols.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Defining Unified Storage: In the storage industry, "Unified Storage" refers to a single storage platform that can simultaneously serve data over both block-level and file-level protocols.
The Pure Storage Approach: Historically, FlashArray was a high-performance block-only array. However, with the introduction of FlashArray File Services, Pure transitioned to a unified architecture. This means the same hardware (FlashArray//X, //C, or //XL) and the same management interface (Purity) handle both types of workloads.
Protocol Support:
Block Protocols: Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI, and NVMe-over-Fabrics (NVMe-oF).
File Protocols: NFS (Network File System) and SMB (Server Message Block).
Why this is "Unified": * Shared Pool of Resources: Unlike older legacy systems that used "file gateways" or separate hardware heads for NAS, Pure's unified storage shares a single global pool of flash memory and deduplication metadata.
Ease of Management: Administrators don't need to manage two different systems. You can create a Volume (Block) or a File System (File) from the same "Add" menu in the GUI.
Why Options A and B are incorrect: * Option A only describes the File side of the equation.
Option B only describes the Block side of the equation.
Only Option C accurately captures the combination of both paradigms, which is the definition of "Unified."

 

NEW QUESTION # 31
An On-Premises ActiveCluster (AC) Mediator is installed on an ESXi server. The mediator was previously online but when the administrator checked the status of the ActiveCluster (AC) pods the mediator status was listed as "unreachable" for both FlashArrays in the ActiveCluster (AC) pair.
What is a possible cause of the mediator being unreachable from both FlashArrays?

  • A. The mediator does not reside within a Pure datastore.
  • B. Outbound TCP port 80 is not allowed from the FlashArrays.
  • C. Fibre Channel (FC) zoning or network access has not been created properly for the host.

Answer: B

Explanation:
The ActiveCluster Mediator (whether it is the Pure1 Cloud Mediator or the On-Premises VM) is a lightweight tie-breaker that communicates continuously with the management interfaces of both FlashArrays. If it was previously online and suddenly reports as "unreachable" from both arrays simultaneously, the issue is almost always caused by a network interruption or firewall rule change blocking the required communication ports between the arrays' management IP addresses and the Mediator VM.
If a network firewall is suddenly configured to drop or deny outbound TCP traffic (such as port 80/443 depending on the specific HTTP/HTTPS discovery and heartbeat configuration) from the FlashArrays to the ESXi-hosted Mediator, the arrays will fail to send their heartbeats, causing the mediator status to drop to "unreachable." Here is why the other options are incorrect:
Fibre Channel (FC) zoning or network access has not been created properly for the host (A): The Mediator is completely independent of the front-end host storage fabric (Fibre Channel or iSCSI). Host zoning issues would prevent the ESXi server from seeing its volumes, but it would not cause the FlashArrays to lose management network connectivity to the Mediator.
The mediator does not reside within a Pure datastore (B): This is actually a strict best practice and requirement. Pure Storage explicitly states that the On-Premises Mediator VM must be deployed in a separate (third) failure domain. It should not reside on the ActiveCluster mirrored datastore, because a site-wide SAN failure would take the mediator offline exactly when it is needed most. Therefore, not residing on a Pure datastore is the correct setup, not a cause for an outage.
