A client is planning a virtualized SQL Server environment with remote protection. They need
virtual machine consistent, point-in-time copies of the database as backups.
Which option meets this scenario?

A customer runs a CAD/CAM application on an EMC VNX for File. The application is accessed by
users at multiple sites. The users report degraded response during peak access periods.
Performance monitoring of the file system shows a higher than expected disk queue length and a
higher than expected number of unused blocks pre-fetched. What is the likely cause of the
performance issue?

A storage pool used for FAST VP has the following configuration:
Flash drives: 1,000 GB, with 500 GB free
SAS drives: 5,000 GB, with 1,500 GB free
NL-SAS drives: 19,000 GB, with 3,000 GB free
The tiering policy is set to Auto. An additional 250 GB of new data is written to the storage pool.
What is the data distribution after the data is written?

A VNX storage system has four 15-drive DAEs. There are fifteen flash drives installed in a single
DAE. The customer plans to implement traditional LUNs for this configuration. What is
recommended SAS LCC port configuration?

A SAN administrator creates a SAN Copy session between two EMC VNX using Navisphere
Secure CLI for a single database LUN. The session starts copying but fails to complete. What is
the most likely cause of this failure?

A customer uses Replication Manager Version 5 to make replicas of their Windows 2003 server.
The customer installs a new Windows 2008 server and tries to mount the replica. The customer
reports they cannot mount the replica to the new server. What is the likely issue?

A customer has used the EMC VNX AVM feature to create a number of file systems. There are
fourteen RAID 5 (4+1) LUNs presented to AVM as VNX disk volumes. After the file systems are
complete, the customer notices that all file systems are built on one 4-element stripe set.
What storage pool attribute may have caused this behavior?

You plan to migrate from an EMC CLARiiON to an EMC VNX. The VNX will present CIFS shares
to several Windows application hosts.
What tool would you use to test the performance metrics of the CIFS shares on the new VNX prior
to the migration?

A customer is concerned about performance on their EMC VNX. The VNX provides storage for
several Windows and UNIX application servers. By monitoring the switches, they notice heavy
traffic between the servers and the VNX. On the VNX, the hard disks seem to be heavily
accessed.
The customer wants to know if the operation rate is well balanced between the disk volumes.
Which compound server_stats command will provide the needed information?

A customer has three production hosts connected to a VNX. Each host has two 150 GB LUNs in
the same RAID 5 (4+1) RAID group. Replication Manager is configured to take SnapView
snapshots of the production host LUNs for local backups using a dedicated backup host. The RLP
(reserved LUN pool) is configured on the same RAID group as the production host LUNs. The

customer reports there are performance slowdowns during backups.
What is the best solution?
