Which configurations can be added to this pool?
Your customer needs to add additional capacity to their existing FAST VP which currently contains
four Flash drives in a RAID 5 configuration.
Which configurations can be added to this pool?
Which configuration best supports their availability requirements?
Your customer has just purchased a new VNX, which will be dedicated to their large SQL 2008
cluster. High-performance and high-availability are critical.
To meet their availability requirements, the customer has requested the configuration be optimized
to allow both storage processors to process I/O for any given LUN without trespassing the LUN.
Which configuration best supports their availability requirements?
Which configuration will provide the most efficient use of capacity while still following best practices?
Your customer has just purchased ten 1TB NL-SAS drives for their VNX array. This additional
capacity will be used to archive their large image repository.
Which configuration will provide the most efficient use of capacity while still following best
practices?
which hot spare drive would the array first select to replace the failed drive?
After reviewing the design for their new VNX, your customer has requested further explanation of
the hot spare algorithm used by the array. You propose the following scenario:
RAID group 200 consists of five 600 GB 10K SAS drives in a RAID 5 configuration. Within this
RAID group there are three 25 GiB LUNs. One of the five drives has just failed.
In your scenario, which hot spare drive would the array first select to replace the failed drive?
What software option is required to support this implementation?
Your customer is designing a VNX file system using CIFS quotas with a supported third-party
application.
What software option is required to support this implementation?
Which recommendations are made when leveraging virtual provisioning?
Your customer is implementing a Unified VNX system leveraging CIFS general purpose file
shares. They are implementing all virtual provisioning and FAST features to maximize storage
efficiency.

What would you change in this design?
Which statement best describes the choices available?
You get a call from the customer asking about Active Directory integration for user mapping. They
have used EMC NAS products for over ten years and have extended the schema some years ago.
Now they are trying to migrate to default Windows Services for UNIX (SFU, aka IDMU) for the
UID/GID needs.
Which statement best describes the choices available?
What do you advise them?
A customer is concerned about UserMapper database and asks you what will happen to the VNX
CIFS users if UserMapper is unavailable.
What do you advise them?
What EMC solution do you propose?
Your customer has recently purchased a VNX for File. Due to the budget limits, they were unable
to purchase enough SAS drives to create all of their required file shares. They would like to use
their NL-SAS drives but are concerned about lower performance.
