A customer wants to create a file system for a highly sequential application. They plan to use the
EMC VNX AVM feature to create the file system, using the clarsas_archive pool in a RAID 5 (4+1)
configuration. They want to know how much data is being written to each dvol in the pool entry.
Which property would they examine?

You are planning a CIFS DR solution with an EMC VNX for File. The customer wants to use LACP
(Link Aggregation Control Protocol) on the Data Movers to provide additional network redundancy
for the solution.
What do you advise the customer regarding Data Mover interfaces and CIFS servers for the DR
solution?

A customer has a production CLARiiON replicating to a secondary CLARiiON at a remote site
using MirrorView/S. The customer wants to upgrade to new EMC VNX, but due to cost
constraints, they can only upgrade one of the CLARiiON arrays at this time.
How do you advise the customer?

Which LUN type presents more storage to an application than is physically allocated?

A customer’s EMC VNX supports several Windows and UNIX application servers. The customer
is concerned about VNX performance. By monitoring their switches, they notice there is heavy
traffic between the servers and the VNX. On the VNX, the hard disks seem to be heavily
accessed.
The customer wants to identify which application server workload type may be causing the
observed behavior. What compound server_stats command do you suggest?

Exchange 2010 is installed on a virtual machine using VMDK files. Replication Manager is being
used to take snapshots of the virtual machine files and back them up to disk. After a few weeks,
the Exchange server stops functioning.
What is the most likely reason for the Exchange failure?

A customer configures SnapView clones on their EMC VNX. A 512 GB clone is fractured for 5
minutes. The source LUN performs fifty 16 KB random writes per second. The clone
resynchronization is configured to 6 MB/s. How long will it take to resynchronize the clone?

You are deploying Exchange 2010 using a VMware virtualized infrastructure. A large VMFS
partition will support the operating system binaries for four mailbox servers. RDM devices will be
used for all database and log volumes. All partitions on the RDMs have been created using
Windows Disk Manager.
During deployment verification, you populate a database with test data and attempt to create a
backup of it using Replication Manager. The replica creation fails with an error. What is the
cause?

A customer has vSphere v4.x hosts connected to an EMC VNX with thin provisioned pools. They
report capacity shortages even after deleting or migrating some VMs. You recommend the
customer upgrade their virtual environment to vSphere v5.0 to benefit from the new features and
enhancements in VAAI. Which VAAI feature will address their issue?
