Sample Practice Questions
Try these 10 sample questions from the Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Deploy v2 Exam practice bank. Each includes the answer and explanation. Continue with the interactive practice above to review the full question set.
1A site survey must verify the ambient temperature used for PowerProtect DD operating limits. Where should that temperature be measured?
- A.At the front bezel air inletCorrect answer: A
- B.At the cabinet's rear exhaust
- C.At the room thermostat sensor
- D.At the air-conditioner outlet
Explanation: Dell states: "The ambient temperature specification is measured at the front bezel inlet.". The inlet measurement reflects the air actually entering the appliance; exhaust, room thermostat and supply-air readings are different measurement points.
Reference: Dell PowerProtect DD 8.3 Hardware Features and Specifications — Page 22, System operating limits
2While fitting DD6900 sliding rails, how should the left and right assemblies be selected?
- A.Either assembly may be used on either side if extended
- B.Match each assembly to its labeled side; they are not interchangeableCorrect answer: B
- C.Reverse each assembly so its front label faces the rear
- D.Use the same-side assembly for both sides of the chassis
Explanation: Dell states: "The rails are labeled left and right, and cannot be interchanged.". Side labels control rail selection; extension and reversal do not make unlike assemblies interchangeable.
Reference: PowerProtect DD6900 System Installation and Storage Expansion Guide — Page 24, Install the rails
3An administrator needs a DDOS role that can configure and monitor the system but cannot delete data, edit the registry or enter bash. Which role matches?
- A.admin
- B.limited-adminCorrect answer: B
- C.user
- D.none
Explanation: Dell states: "The limited-admin role can configure and monitor the system with some limitations. Users who are assigned this role cannot perform data deletion operations, edit the registry, or enter bash.". Limited-admin has the stated restrictions. Admin is broader, user is monitoring-only, and none does not provide general system configuration.
Reference: DD Operating System 7.13.1.30 Administration Guide — Page 73, Role-based access control: limited-admin
4A room meets its target temperature, but a closed cabinet containing a DD system runs hotter. Which temperature boundary controls acceptance of the installation?
- A.The room average outside the cabinet
- B.The operating limits inside the closed cabinetCorrect answer: B
- C.The cooling unit's return-air temperature
- D.The room temperature recorded overnight
Explanation: Dell states: "For systems mounted in a cabinet, the operating limits listed above must not be exceeded inside the closed cabinet.". A compliant room average does not establish that the equipment's closed-cabinet environment complies; the other locations or times do not replace that requirement.
Reference: Dell PowerProtect DD 8.3 Hardware Features and Specifications — Page 22, System operating limits
5Which rail assembly does Dell specify installing first for a DD6900?
- A.The left rail assemblyCorrect answer: A
- B.The right rail assembly
- C.Whichever assembly has its rear bracket shortest
- D.Both assemblies simultaneously
6A DDOS account should view system status and change its own password, but must not change system configuration. Which role is intended for this access?
- A.admin
- B.security
- C.userCorrect answer: C
- D.tenant-admin
Explanation: Dell states: "The user role enables users to monitor systems and change their own password.". The adjacent requirement states user-role accounts cannot change system configuration. Admin and tenant-admin can configure their respective scopes; security carries additional security-officer powers.
Reference: DD Operating System 7.13.1.30 Administration Guide — Page 73, Role-based access control: user
7During site preparation, a proposed cabinet door blocks the front-to-rear airflow of a DD storage system. Which change addresses the documented installation requirement?
- A.Reverse the appliance so its rear faces the aisle
- B.Increase rack depth while retaining the same solid door
- C.Use a cabinet door that does not impede front-to-rear airflowCorrect answer: C
- D.Move the room sensor while retaining the obstructing door
Explanation: Dell states: "Cabinet doors must not impede the front-to-rear airflow.". The obstruction itself must be removed from the airflow path. Rack depth, sensor placement, and reversing the appliance do not establish a compliant door.
Reference: Dell PowerProtect DD 8.3 Hardware Features and Specifications — Page 22, System operating limits
8When securing DD6900 rails in a square-hole cabinet, what should be installed before the supplied screw?
- A.A cable tie in place of the washer
- B.A second retaining screw through the same hole
- C.The supplied conical washerCorrect answer: C
- D.An unthreaded round-hole insert only
Explanation: Dell states: "For square hole cabinets, install the supplied conical washer before installing the screw.". The square-hole case requires the conical washer. The round-hole instruction is different and an improvised tie or second screw does not follow it.
Reference: PowerProtect DD6900 System Installation and Storage Expansion Guide — Page 25, Secure the rail assemblies to the cabinet
9Who can create the first DDOS security officer?
- A.Only the default sysadmin userCorrect answer: A
- B.Any account with the user role
- C.Any DD Boost storage-unit owner
- D.Any tenant-user on an SMT unit
Explanation: Dell states: "Only the sysadmin user (the default user created during the DDOS installation) can create the first security officer". The bootstrap privilege belongs to sysadmin; ordinary monitoring, backup-authentication and tenant roles do not have it.
Reference: DD Operating System 7.13.1.30 Administration Guide — Page 73, Role-based access control: security
10A cabinet will contain a DD system and other equipment. What minimum exhaust capability should the cabinet design provide?
- A.The exhaust rate of the largest single device
- B.Half the combined exhaust rate of all devices
- C.The average exhaust rate per installed device
- D.At least the sum of the installed equipment's exhaust ratesCorrect answer: D
Explanation: Dell states: "The cabinet must exhaust air at a rate that is equal to or greater than the sum of the exhaust rates of all the equipment mounted in the cabinet.". The aggregate equipment load determines the required exhaust capability; the largest, average or half-total value can undersize it.
