Zorluk: ZorConfigure Azure Files and Azure File Sync

Your company is implementing Azure File Sync to centralize file shares in Azure while maintaining local caching to optimize access latency. You need to configure cloud tiering on an on-premises Windows Server named FileServer1 to minimize local storage usage on volume F: while keeping active files cached.

Volume F: has a total capacity of 2 TB2\text{ TB}. You enable Cloud Tiering on the server endpoint with the following settings:
- Volume free space policy: 30%30\%
- Date policy: Tier files that have not been accessed within the last 3030 days.

Currently, the local volume F: contains 1.6 TB1.6\text{ TB} of files cached locally (resulting in 20%20\% free space). The cached files consist of:
- 100 GB100\text{ GB} of files that have not been accessed for more than 3030 days.
- 1.5 TB1.5\text{ TB} of files that were accessed within the last 55 days.

Which of the following describes the resulting tiering behavior on volume F: when Azure File Sync evaluates the cloud tiering policies?

  1. A
    Azure File Sync tiers only the 100 GB100\text{ GB} of files older than 3030 days, leaving 1.5 TB1.5\text{ TB} of files cached locally, because the remaining files were accessed within the last 55 days.
  2. B
    Azure File Sync tiers all 1.6 TB1.6\text{ TB} of files on volume F: because a volume free space deficit triggers a complete tiering of all local cache to prevent data synchronization failure.
  3. Azure File Sync tiers the 100 GB100\text{ GB} of files older than 3030 days and force-tiers 100 GB100\text{ GB} of the files accessed within the last 55 days, leaving 1.4 TB1.4\text{ TB} of files cached locally.Cevap
  4. D
    Azure File Sync tiers only the 100 GB100\text{ GB} of files older than 3030 days and blocks new file write operations on volume F: until the volume free space naturally reaches 30%30\%.

Cevap

Azure File Sync tiers the 100 GB100\text{ GB} of files older than 3030 days and force-tiers 100 GB100\text{ GB} of the files accessed within the last 55 days, leaving 1.4 TB1.4\text{ TB} of files cached locally.
The volume free space policy always takes precedence over the date policy. Because the volume currently has only 20%20\% free space and the target free space is 30%30\%, Azure File Sync must free up space. First, it applies the date policy to tier the 100 GB100\text{ GB} of files that have not been accessed within 3030 days. This increases the free space to 25%25\% (1.5 TB1.5\text{ TB} cached). Since this is still below the 30%30\% target, the volume free space policy forces the tiering of the least recently accessed files among the recently accessed 1.5 TB1.5\text{ TB} of files until the 30%30\% free space target (600 GB600\text{ GB} free, 1.4 TB1.4\text{ TB} cached) is achieved, which requires tiering an additional 100 GB100\text{ GB}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the target free space and maximum cached capacity for volume F:.
Target free space is 30%30\% of 2 TB2\text{ TB} (2000 GB2000\text{ GB}), which is 600 GB600\text{ GB}. The maximum allowed cached capacity is 1.4 TB1.4\text{ TB} (1400 GB1400\text{ GB}).
This establishes the threshold that the cloud tiering engine must achieve.
2
Apply the Date Policy to tier eligible files.
100 GB100\text{ GB} of files older than 3030 days are tiered, leaving 1.5 TB1.5\text{ TB} (1500 GB1500\text{ GB}) of cached files and 500 GB500\text{ GB} (25%25\%) of free space.
The date policy is evaluated first to tier files that have exceeded the specified age threshold.
3
Evaluate the Volume Free Space Policy and force-tier recently accessed files to meet the target.
Since 25%25\% free space is less than the 30%30\% target, Azure File Sync force-tiers another 100 GB100\text{ GB} of the least recently accessed files from the remaining 1.5 TB1.5\text{ TB}, resulting in 1.4 TB1.4\text{ TB} cached and 600 GB600\text{ GB} (30%30\%) free space.
The Volume Free Space policy takes precedence and must be satisfied even if it requires tiering files that do not meet the Date Policy age criteria.
