A VSP G800 HDT pool contains FMDs, NL-SAS drives, external storage with 15K 600 GB SAS drives, and external storage with 10K 900 GB SAS drives.

Which tier level contains the NL-SAS drives in this configuration?

A. 1

B. 2

C. 3

D. 4

A customer has several Oracle databases with different workload profiles residing on old HUS systems. The customer wants to consolidate workloads on a new VSP G800 system to increase database performance and to reduce costs.

Which configuration would you use to accomplish this task?

A. Put all of the databases in a single HDT pool.

B. Put each database in its own HDT pool.

C. Put databases with the same workload profile together in their own HDT pool.

D. Put all database tablespaces and indexes in the first HDT pool, all redo logs in the second HDT pool, and all undo logs in a third HDT pool.

When testing an external LUN with default mapping on two paths, performance appears constrained and the utilization of the RAID group in the external storage system never exceeds 35% busy no matter how many test threads are generated. You want to increase the utilization of the external RAID group.

Which two actions will accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

A. Increase the external path LUN queue depth setting.

B. Increase the number of LUNs mapped from the external RAID group.

C. Change Cache Mode to "Disabled".

D. Increase the server HBA LUN queue depth to 64.

A customer with a VSP G1000 is using HDT with SAS 15K drives and external storage. The customer wants the daytime response-sensitive workload to benefit from tiering. They also want to minimize the impact of relocations on the daytime operation itself.

In this scenario, which action will satisfy the requirements?

A. Enable monitoring only during the daytime hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) and only enable relocation at other times.

B. Disable monitoring during daytime hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM)

C. Enable active flash so that all relocations can be completed in short bursts.

D. Use continuous mode with a 30-minute cycle time and define relocation during daytime hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) with a low relocation speed.

A user reports fluctuating LUN response times every day between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM as users arrive and log in.

How do you identify this condition using Hitachi Tuning Manager?

A. View LUN response times and RAID group utilization (% busy) averaged over the 60 minutes.

B. View the random write counts every minute.

C. View LUN response times and RAID group utilization (% busy) every minute.

D. View LUN response times and correlate against the Cache Write Pending level every 15 minutes.

What are two benefits of placing transaction log files on RAID 1+0 disks for Microsoft SQL Server databases rather than RAID 5 disks? (Choose two.)

A. Multiple transaction log files are supported.

B. Faster recovery after disk hardware failure is realized.

C. Capacity utilization rates are improved.

D. Microsoft recommendations are followed.

A large bank is completing a capacity planning exercise and wants to upgrade their current VSP G1000 to properly support their online banking application for the next 18 months. The IT department wants to know where they should invest to achieve the transactional Service Level Objective (SLO).

In this scenario, which three recommendations would you make? (Choose three.)

A. Measure throughput of all SAN directors.

B. Export two months of Performance Monitor data.

C. Measure the storage resource utilizations.

D. Request a statement of growth requirements.

E. Measure the existing I/O profile.

Which two conditions will cause high Cache Write Pending on a VSP G8000? (Choose two.)

A. over-utilized external storage

B. high port utilization

C. inadequate WAN bandwidth for TrueCopy Asynchronous

D. attempting to write to a RAID group at a rate beyond its ability

For a VSP G1000 system serving a mission critical interactive workload, which two statements are true about VSD failover? (Choose two.)

A. The VSD receiving the workload of a failed VSD is not pre-determined.

B. Providing reserved capacity to accommodate failure is a requirement when planning for capacity for normal operations.

C. The workload of a failed VSD board always transfers to its redundant partner VSD board.

D. The workload of a failed VSD board is dynamically redistributed among surviving VSD boards.

A VSP G1000 customer is concerned about high VSD utilization alerts during their nightly backup and application maintenance window. To address their concerns, you want to inform them about the maximum acceptable utilization level range.

What would be the range in this scenario?

A. 30-40%

B. 40-50%

C. 50-60% D. 80% or higher
