An SRDF/S customer has implemented FAST VP at R1 and R2 sites. What will happen to a thin R2 device when a thin R1 device extent is promoted?

A. The corresponding extent on the R2 device will be promoted as long as there is storage space available in the higher tier

B. Nothing. Promotions on the source do not affect the target

C. The corresponding extent on the R2 device will be promoted simultaneously only if the FAST VP policy allows it

D. The corresponding extent on the R2 device will be promoted if the target Symmetrix is not too busy

What is the functional description for Tier Advisor?

A. An interactive performance modeling tool.

B. A peak performance analysis tool.

C. A tool that helps calculate DA utilization.

D. A tool that recommends the right number of VMAX engines.

When using Timefinder/SNAP, what is true of Save devices?

A. RAID6 is the preferred protection for Save devices.

B. Save devices store the original track from the source device which is copied on first access.

C. Each Save device is recommended to be equal to or less than the largest VDEV.

D. RPQ is required to use RAID1 protection on Save devices.

Which information is needed when designing an Open Replicator solution?

A. Remote array serial number and devices, control and remote front end ports.

B. Remote array serial number, Open Replicator control host, SRDF device pairing file.

C. TDATs to replicate, remote array serial number, Tier Advisor.

D. SYMMERGE, TDATs to replicate, Open Replicator software.

A Symmetrix VMAX has been configured with Dynamic Cache Partitioning. What criterion must be met for a cache slot to be eligible for donation?

A. The fall through time must be greater than the donation age.

B. The fall through time must be less than the donation age.

C. The cache slot must belong to a static partition.

D. There must be cache slots available in the default partition.

A customer has implemented a Symmetrix VMAX storage array with FAST VP as a consolidation target for four older storage systems. The storage array is running the current target Enginuity 5875 code. Pool allocation warning levels are set for 65% for the Fibre Channel pool.

If all data migrated to the array is bound to the Fibre Channel pool, how should the configuration of the pool reserve capacity be set?

A. 1% EFD, 35% FC, 1% SATA

B. 10% EFD, 10% FC, 10% SATA

C. 35% EFD, 35% FC, 35% SATA

D. 90% EFD, 90% FC, 90% SATA

A customer has requested multiple design solutions for their new FAST-enabled Symmetrix VMAX storage. You have the performance files and symapi_db.bin files for the three source DMX arrays.

Which type of analysis should be created with Tier Advisor to respond to the customer's request?

A. "What-if" cost-benefit

B. Peak period I/O

C. Wide period I/O

D. Tiered and non-tiered

You are designing an SRDF/S solution. Network bandwidth can be purchased in increments of single OC3 (155 Mb/s) links. Data compression is not in use. The workload profile is as follows:

Total I/Os per second = 30,000 Read block size = 4 KB Write block size = 4 KB Writes = 30%

How many OC3 links should be recommended?

A. 2

B. 4

C. 6

D. 8

A customer is implementing a Microsoft Exchange environment on a Symmetrix VMAX. The environment will be deployed on 600 GB FC 15K drives using RAID 1 data protection. The application generates 1350 I/ O per second and has a 2:1 read/write ratio.

What is the minimum number of drives recommended to support the application?

A. 8

B. 12

C. 16

D. 30

A customer is planning an Oracle 11g implementation. You have been asked to design the Oracle storage architecture. You recommend placing redo log files on separate drives from other Oracle files. Your customer wants an explanation of this architecture choice.

What best describes the reason for this EMC recommendation?

A. Redo logs' write performance can affect the performance of the entire database

B. Separation ensures that disk failure will not result in losing the entire database

C. Redo logs on the same drives as the Oracle data files is not supported

D. Redo logs' read performance can affect the performance of the entire database
