SG0-001 · Question #58
An application database is operating slowly and no faults have been detected on the storage or host. Which of the following will determine if the storage device is performing outside of its normal ope
The correct answer is A. Current performance versus recorded baseline. To determine if slow application performance is due to the storage device, its current performance metrics must be compared against a historical baseline.
Question
An application database is operating slowly and no faults have been detected on the storage or host. Which of the following will determine if the storage device is performing outside of its normal operating expectations?
Options
- ACurrent performance versus recorded baseline
- BThorough review of the audit logs of the device
- CForecast and capacity planning trend
- DThorough review of the switch and storage event logs

Why each option
To determine if slow application performance is due to the storage device, its current performance metrics must be compared against a historical baseline.
Comparing current storage performance metrics against a recorded baseline established during normal operations identifies deviations that indicate the device is not performing as expected. A baseline provides a reference point for normal behavior, allowing identification of performance degradation even without explicit faults.
Audit logs track security-related events or user actions, not performance metrics, making them unhelpful for diagnosing slow performance without faults.
Forecast and capacity planning trends are used for future resource allocation, not for immediate diagnosis of current performance issues.
Event logs show faults, errors, or significant events; however, since 'no faults have been detected,' reviewing them further won't identify a subtle performance degradation without a baseline for comparison.
