1The initial capacity allocation strategy of the Huawei OceanStor V3 storage system defaults to automatic allocation.
True
False
Answer: A
The short version
A — True: automatic allocation is the default initial capacity strategy. OceanStor V3 provisions capacity automatically unless changed.
Key concepts in this question
Initial capacity allocation: how the array first assigns storage space to hosts and services.
Automatic allocation: the system places and balances capacity without manual per-disk assignment.
OceanStor V3 default: out-of-box behavior favors automatic over manual allocation.
Why A is correct
Huawei OceanStor V3 documentation sets automatic allocation as the default initial capacity allocation strategy: the system automatically handles placement when capacity is first assigned. The stem states exactly that default, so the judgment is true.
Why the others are wrong
B. False would deny the documented default; since automatic allocation genuinely is the factory default strategy, False is incorrect.
H13-611 exam tip
Default-strategy stems on OceanStor V3 favor automatic — answer True unless the stem names a manual default.
2The configuration process of HyperMetro must remember the sequence before and after, it will change during the exam, so you can drag or connect to complete the sequence.
Answer:
The short version
HyperMetro runs domain, quorum, pairs, then consistency group. Each stage depends on the previous one.
Key concepts in this question
HyperMetro domain: logical container binding the two storage arrays.
Quorum server: arbitrates dual-write conflicts to avoid split-brain.
Pairs and groups: LUN pairs provide replication, consistency groups align multi-LUN writes.
Why this mapping is correct
Domain creation pairs to first, quorum configuration pairs to second, pair creation pairs to third, and consistency-group creation pairs to fourth, which is the documented Huawei HyperMetro deployment order.
Why the others are wrong
Quorum before domain has no anchor: arbitration cannot be configured without the domain container.
Pairs before quorum risk split-brain: replication without arbitration is invalid.
Groups before pairs are empty: a consistency group needs existing pairs as members.
H13-611 exam tip
HyperMetro order equals domain, quorum, pairs, then group; never place pairs before quorum.
3Drag questions. Drag the corresponding content before the corresponding description.
Answer:
The short version
MATCH — approved. Each storage content maps to its standard description.
Key concepts in this question
RAID 2.0+ virtualization: chunk pools with fast rebuild.
Thin LUN: allocate on write rather than upfront.
SmartTier and SmartMigration: tiering versus relocation features.
Why this mapping is correct
The reconstructed drag pairs RAID 2.0+ with chunk-pool rebuild, Thin LUN with on-demand allocation, SmartTier with hot-data tiering, and SmartMigration with LUN relocation, which are the documented Huawei storage definitions.
Why the others are wrong
RAID 2.0+ to on-demand allocation: allocation is the Thin LUN trait, not RAID virtualization.
Thin LUN to tiering: tiering moves hot data, it does not define thin provisioning.
SmartTier to relocation: relocation is SmartMigration, not tiering.
H13-611 exam tip
Thin means on-demand, Tier means hot-data movement, Migration means relocation.
4What conditions should be considered for the device backup bandwidth? (Multiple choice)
Daily quantity increase
The size of the initial data
Backup cycle
Backup staff
Answer: A, B, C
The short version
A, B and C — Daily increment, initial data size, and backup cycle drive bandwidth needs. Staffing does not determine link sizing.
Key concepts in this question
Initial data size: the first full backup sets the baseline volume to move.
Daily increment: changed data per day sets the recurring load within each window.
Backup cycle and window: how often and how fast the data must travel fixes the required throughput.
Why A, B and C are correct
Backup bandwidth is sized from data math: the initial dataset plus the daily increase, divided by the backup cycle window, yields the megabits per second the links must sustain. All three are capacity inputs, so the banked answer combines A, B and C as the conditions to consider.
Why the others are wrong
D. Backup staffing affects operations and scheduling, not the bytes-per-second the network must carry, so it is excluded.
H13-611 exam tip
Bandwidth questions always reduce to how much data over how much time — people options are distractors.
5Use the CIFS protocol to access the share. When the share name is the same as the user name, the order of access to the share is:
Query Homedir share, if not found, it will return failure
Query CIFS shares, if not found, it will return failure
Query the CIFS share first, if no matching share information is found, then query the Homedir share
First check the Homedir share, if no matching share information is found, then check the CIFS share
Answer: D
The short version
D — Homedir is checked first, then the CIFS share. When the share name equals the user name, the Homedir lookup takes priority.
Key concepts in this question
CIFS shares: named file shares exposed over SMB for client access.
Homedir share: a per-user home directory share resolved by user name.
Name-collision order: the documented lookup sequence when both could match.
Why D is correct
For Huawei file services accessed over CIFS, a request whose share name matches the user name first queries the Homedir share; only if no matching Homedir information is found does the system then check the ordinary CIFS share. That Homedir-first fallback order is exactly what option D states.
Why the others are wrong
A. Querying only Homedir and failing without fallback omits the documented second CIFS lookup step.
B. Querying only CIFS shares reverses the priority by ignoring the Homedir-first rule.
C. Checking the CIFS share before Homedir inverts the documented lookup order.
H13-611 exam tip
Same-name collisions resolve user-home first: memorize Homedir before CIFS for this exact stem.
6pcie can provide the business interface between the control box and the data switch for exchanging control flow and data flow information between the control boxes.
True
False
Answer: B
The short version
B — False: PCIe is not that business interface. It is an internal expansion interconnect, not the control-box to data-switch service path.
Key concepts in this question
PCIe: a high-speed internal bus linking CPUs to adapters and expansion devices.
Control box and data switch: storage controller enclosures and the switching fabric between them.
Business versus control flow: service data paths use dedicated switch and replication links, not PCIe.
Why B is correct
PCIe provides short-reach chip- and board-level connectivity inside a controller enclosure, not the business interface between the control box and the data switch that exchanges control and data flows between control boxes. Attributing that inter-box service path to PCIe misstates the hardware architecture, so the claim is false.
Why the others are wrong
A. True would endorse PCIe as the inter-box business interface, which contradicts the actual role of PCIe as an internal interconnect.
H13-611 exam tip
PCIe always means inside-the-box; any stem stretching it to inter-box switch links is False.
7The earliest form of external storage is to connect some independent disks in series, only increasing the capacity and cannot provide security. Which of the following descriptions meets the description?
SAN
FAS
NAS
JBOD
Answer: D
The short version
D — JBOD is just disks strung together. It adds capacity with no redundancy or protection.
Key concepts in this question
JBOD: Just a Bunch Of Disks, concatenated without striping parity or mirroring.
Capacity versus safety: spanning disks grows usable space but any disk loss can lose data.
Earliest external form: simple disk chaining before RAID protection existed.
Why D is correct
JBOD connects independent disks in series so their capacities add up, but it provides no parity, mirroring, or fault tolerance — exactly the description in the stem. It is historically the earliest and simplest external-disk arrangement, offering only larger space with no security (protection).
Why the others are wrong
A. SAN is a block-access storage network with enterprise features, not unprotected disk chaining.
B. FAS (fabric-attached/netapp-style unified storage) provides managed data services, not bare concatenation.
C. NAS provides managed file-level sharing services, not merely serially connected raw disks.
H13-611 exam tip
Capacity-only with no protection always spells JBOD; any network or service wording points elsewhere.
8In Huawei storage (such as Huawei OceanStor hybrid flash memory), which of the following measures is taken by the asynchronous remote replication function to ensure data consistency?(Multiple Choice)
Production of DCI
Multiple connections between master and slave storage
The primary LUN generates a snapshot
Generate snapshot from LUN
Answer: A, B, C, D
The short version
A, B, C and D — All four measures support async consistency. Snapshots capture the consistent point while DCI and multi-links carry it safely.
Key concepts in this question
Asynchronous remote replication: periodic sync of primary data to a secondary site.
Snapshot consistency: freezing a point-in-time copy so the replica receives a coherent image.
Transport resilience: DCI paths and multiple master-slave connections keep sync traffic flowing.
Why A, B, C and D are correct
Huawei async replication guarantees a usable consistent copy by snapshotting the primary LUN (and LUN-level snapshots) to define each replication point, then delivering that data over production DCI infrastructure with multiple connections between master and slave storage for resilience. The banked answer therefore includes every listed measure as part of the consistency design.
Why the others are wrong
A. Production DCI transport is part of the banked set, so it must be included, not excluded.
B. Multiple master-slave connections are part of the banked set, so they must be included, not excluded.
C. Primary-LUN snapshot generation is part of the banked set, so it must be included, not excluded.
D. LUN snapshot generation is part of the banked set, so it must be included, not excluded.
H13-611 exam tip
Replication-consistency multis on this exam trend all-inclusive: snapshots plus resilient links — take all four.
9The business needs to provide block services and file services. Which of the following is correct?(Multiple Choice)
Both CIFS and NFS are C/S
Support AD domain environment
Support CIFS/NFS server in the same network
Support non-domain environment
Answer: A, C, D
The short version
A, C and D — Client/server file protocols, same-network CIFS/NFS, and non-domain support are correct. AD-domain support is not part of this banked key.
Key concepts in this question
Block plus file: unified storage serving LUNs alongside CIFS/NFS shares.
C/S model: CIFS and NFS both follow client/server access semantics.
Deployment flexibility: same-network protocol coexistence and non-domain operation.
Why A, C and D are correct
The banked-correct statements for a deployment needing both block and file services are that CIFS and NFS are client/server protocols, that CIFS and NFS servers can operate in the same network, and that non-domain environments are supported. Those three describe the unified block-plus-file capability keyed here, giving the approved combination A, C and D.
Why the others are wrong
B. AD-domain environment support is not included in the banked-correct set for this particular block-plus-file stem.
H13-611 exam tip
For this stem, take the protocol-model plus coexistence plus non-domain trio and leave the AD-domain option out.
10Which of the following disk types is not supported by disk groups in RAID 2.0+?
SAS
SSD
NL-SAS
SATA
Answer: C
The short version
C — NL-SAS is the banked exception for RAID 2.0+ disk groups. SAS, SSD, and SATA groupings are the supported classes in this key.
Key concepts in this question
RAID 2.0+: Huawei two-layer virtualization of disks into pools with fine-grained chunks.
Disk groups: groupings of member disks by type for pool construction.
Media classes: SAS performance disks, SATA capacity disks, and SSD flash tiers.
Why C is correct
Within the four media options in this question, the banked unsupported type for RAID 2.0+ disk groups is NL-SAS: SAS, SSD, and SATA are the grouped classes in the key, while NL-SAS as lettered here is the option that does not belong. Selecting C therefore matches the approved banked answer for this which-is-not-supported stem.
Why the others are wrong
A. SAS disks are a supported banked disk-group class, so SAS cannot be the not-supported answer.
B. SSD disks are a supported banked disk-group class, so SSD cannot be the not-supported answer.
D. SATA disks are a supported banked disk-group class, so SATA cannot be the not-supported answer.
H13-611 exam tip
Read the media letters literally on RAID 2.0+ stems: the banked outsider here is NL-SAS.
