HDS USP-VM

C.

3PAR InServ

D.

Compellent Storage Center

Question 3

What is an advantage of using thin provisioning over traditional capacity provisioning?

Options:

A.

A thin volume serves up only the data blocks called for by a read or write request.

B.

A thin volume automatically provisions additional capacity for large I/O read requests.

C.

A thin volume holds only the changes (writes) made by hosts to the thin volume.

D.

A thin volume migrates data from an existing LUN into a new pool.

Question 4

What are three benefits that multiMirror would provide to your customer? (Choose three.)

Options:

A.

multiMirror lowers the bandwidth required on the customer's WAN.

B.

multiMirror allows the customer to use the data at the disaster recovery site for test or backup.

C.

multiMirror works with both FC and iSCSI SANs for flexibility.

D.

multiMirror allows heterogeneous devices at the disaster recovery site.

E.

multiMirror can recover from a network failure by doing a complete resynchronization.

Question 5

The IT manager from a major Internet book retailer is looking for a backup solution for their company. Because its online catalog must be accessible at all times, they are looking for a solution that allows zero-impact backups. Which solution would you suggest to them?

Options:

A.

Add VMware ESX servers in front of SVM so that some servers could manage backup functions while others could continue to service I/O requests.

B.

Use SVM to provision a server farm that allows the online catalog to be present in two locations: one for transactions and another for backups.

C.

Use SVM multiView and a backup application, so they can do backups with no impact on production servers or on the LAN.

D.

Add a second, less powerful storage array that SVM multiCopy constantly streams to as an online backup service.

Question 6

Once the customer has defined their mission-critical data and other service level agreements (SLAs) related to their data, which value proposition would you propose that positions SVM as the optimal tiered storage solution?

Options:

A.

SVM non-disruptively migrates volumes to appropriate tiers of storage.

B.

SVM non-disruptively mirrors data to remote sites.

C.

SVM-enabled snapshots provide space efficient utilization of storage capacity.

D.

SVM-enabled snapshots provide zero backup windows.

Question 7

A customer cannot redo backups in the event of tape failure. Even though the customer has live backup agents, the increased load on the application server causes severe performance problems should the backup be restarted and runs into peak processing periods. What are two ways that multiView can assist in reducing the load on the application server? (Choose two.)

Options:

A.

multiView can take a PiT of the application that can be kept for recovery from disk and then backed up to tape during quieter processing times.

B.

multiView can take a PiT of the application and then copy it over IP to another site for resilience.

C.

multiView will take a full copy of the application which the backup application can then backup offline during less busy processing times.

D.

A view of a PiT can be mounted on a backup server and backed up to tape with no data flow or processing overhead on the application server.

Question 8

Which vendor product has limited virtualization capabilities and relies on quad controllers, thin provisioning, and high performance as its greatest strengths?

Options:

A.

EMC Clariion CX-4

B.

Xiotech Emprise 5000

C.

3PAR InServ F400

D.

IBM SVC

Question 9

Which two economic metrics can be used to justify thin provisioning? (Choose two.)

Options:

A.

Save money wasted from overbuying.

B.

Cascade older assets to new uses.

C.

Reclaim capacity trapped in allocation.

D.

Increase productivity from improved performance.

Question 10

How can multiCopy help when trialing performance requirements of applications running on new servers and/or storage?

Options:

A.

multiCopy allows applications to be copied and made available to the same server with no application downtime and allows the performance increases to the server to be measured.

B.

multiCopy asynchronously mirrors data between arrays of heterogeneous storage, and testing can then be carried out on one side of the mirror.

C.

multiCopy allows applications to be copied between different tiers of heterogeneous storage and then made available to test servers for performance testing.

D.

multiCopy allows servers to read and write data from and to anywhere in the SAN allowing servers to write to the fastest disk available.

Question 11

In an IT center with several different vendor’s storage arrays, virtualized networked storage with SVM provides migration of data to less expensive tiers of storage by doing what?

Options:

A.

Pooling the storage into a server virtualization model whereby different servers can emulate hosts and tier the data.

B.

Pooling the storage into a networked virtualization model zoning the virtualized storage utilizing third-party tools.

C.

Pooling the storage across different vendor’s storage arrays into a centralized pool and then assigning different applications and tiers to different pools.

D.

Pooling the storage across different vendor’s storage arrays into assigned volume groups and use virtual servers to tier the data.

Question 12

A small engineering firm is considering VTL, D2D, and multiView snapshot-enabled recovery. Which three concepts should you explain while selling multiView? (Choose three.)

Options:

A.

VTL still requires the customer to copy the full application to the VTL device.
