After talking with a sporting equipment manufacturer, you decide to propose a two-node HP 3PAR
StoreServ 7400.
The manufacturer will use the following criteria to select the winning proposal:
Approximately 4TB of performance data and 24TB of archive data
Most availability and performance for the price
Simple and easy to manage
Open to recommendations that provide significant cost savings without other impacts
Which configuration should you present, based on HP best practices?

Refer to the scenario.

During your presentation, the customer suggests using Thin Provisioning on the existing EVA to
alleviate the capacity issue. What prevents HP EVA Thin Provisioning from being a valid solution?
A leading automotive technology company wants to increase the performance and capacity of the
storage infrastructure that supports the design and manufacture of its line of Formula 1 racing
cars. The company is also interested in safe-guarding its mission-critical data and eliminating the
threat of business disruption.
Due to the massive engineering and technical effort required to create a new race car design and
to enable regular delivery of upgraded parts to the race track while maintaining a competitive
edge, it is necessary to have advanced applications running on a high-performance IT
infrastructure. The company operates out of two data centers. The centers support a Plant
Lifecycle Management database, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and various
trackside systems to set up the race car and aid race strategy. In addition, the centers run
applications for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), and
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) packages.
The company has deployed Oracle and SQL databases, VMware virtual machines, email, and all
other applications on an HP 6400 Enterprise virtual Array (EVA). The EVAs automatically replicate
between the two data centers to guard against failure. The EVAs are aging, applications are more
sophisticated, data volumes have grown exponentially, and bottlenecks in the storage system are
now having a significant effect on the performance of the simulation and analysis tools that are
vital to the company’s competitive position. The data storage problem has reached a point where
the company is forced to store primary data at the secondary site causing the loss of their disaster
recovery capability.
The company’s top five IT Improvement goals are:
– Reduce complaints about storage system availability.
– increase support for sophisticated design and manufacturing applications.
– Provide a robust replication capability between data centers.
– increase storage utilization while deploying additional capacity.
– Simplify operations during peak workloads.
Moreover, the company’s top three business benefit goals are:
– Ensure rapid data retrieval to aid in quick decision making.
– Protect mission-critical data and ensure business continuity.
– Recover costs from existing infrastructure, thus providing increased IT funds for additional
projects.
The company has asked that you create multiple solution proposals and prioritize one when you

return for a presentation.

Your customer has made a strategic decision to implement a DR solution that will incorporate an
active/active bi-directional replication configuration. The two sites in Q will have live applications
running at both locations, and both sites will have a fluid server estate with new systems coming
online on a regular basis. Additionally, there is an aggressive server replacement schedule
keeping instep with the HP server generation roadmap.
All of the customer servers will utilize Boot from SAN. The sites are 55 km apart with a single 1G
Ethernet link that is at 50% utilization. There is no SLA. The customer has already purchased one
pair of MPX200 FCIP gateways per site.
What is a potential effect of this configuration? (Select two.)

Your VMware customer has a requirement for transparent failover between campus data centers.
Which HP 3PAR StoreServ feature enables the customer to fulfill this requirement?

Refer to the exhibit.

You run the EVAperf cs command and generate the output in the exhibit. What must you do to
display the administrator-defined EVA names when using EVAperf?

Refer to the exhibit.

You are preparing an installation plan with one of your storage engineers.
The customer wants to extend their SAN fabric from four switches to eight switches.
What must be taken into account when integrating the new solution design?

A customer plans to purchase an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage solution. The system will
experience heavy use of virtual copies for backup and rollback purposes. Additionally, the
customer will use three tiers of storage in their system, but the snapshots must not use capacity
from the SSD tier.
What is a best practice for snapshot space allocation?

Which business requirement is addressed with an HP StoreVirtual family with Peer Motion?

Your client has just purchased an HP 3PAR StoreServ array and wants to architect and implement
a DR strategy. During a disaster, they need to be back in operation within two hours after the
disaster has been declared. Declaration of a disaster is estimated to one hour. The business can
afford to lose five minutes worth of data.
Which RTO and RPO, defined in minutes, does the customer have?

You are working with a local children’s hospital on a full storage refresh proposal. The hospital has
implemented a three-tier storage strategy as detailed below.

Costs for ongoing maintenance and management are escalating, and the hospital is looking for
ways to reduce costs and re-deploy storage management staff even with the annual 10% growth.
You are designing an HP 3PAR StoreServ solution to meet their needs and are using the HP
Storage Sizer to make your calculations.
Which workload mix meets the hospital’s needs for storage for the next year?
