A customer is deploying Microsoft Exchange 2010 to a user base that will be significantly
increasing over the next 2 years. What VNX configuration will offer the highest level of
performance and storage efficiency for this environment?

A customer plans to deploy a SQL server farm on their fully virtually provisioned VNX array. They
want to make sure the SQL volumes always get the best performance.
To what should initial data placement be set?

When designing storage for SQL Server 2012 transaction log files, how should you allocate
storage space?

A customer will connect Oracle OLTP and Oracle DSS servers to a new VNX array. They ask if
FAST Cache should be enabled for each application’s LUNs.
For which applications LUNs should you recommend FAST Cache be enabled?

An administrator allocated two LUNs on a VNX for the Exchange 2010 mailstore and logs. The
Exchange 2010 server is a VM under vSphere 5.1. How should those LUNs be presented to the
virtual machine?

What is the maximum time (in seconds) that VSS will stop Exchange I/O processing when VSS
creates an application-aware point in time copy?

A host with visibility to a VNX Snapshot is attached to a Storage Mount Point (SMP). The user has
detached the original Snapshot and then attached a later Snapshot to the SMP.
What must the user do to make the new point in time data visible to the host?

A VNX customer has several LUNs that are experiencing some performance issues. They
understand the application profile uses small-block, write-intensive, random I/O. The customer
uses snapshots for these LUNs and the bandwidth to the RLP LUNs far exceeds bandwidth to the
source LUNs.
Based on best practice, what is the maximum change rate percentage recommended if snapshots
are used on the LUNs?

A VNX customer is making a decision on the type of splitters to use with RecoverPoint/SE 3.x in
their environment. The environment has a small number of Microsoft Windows hosts with several
LUNs greater than 2 TB. After making a decision to use host splitters, the customer realizes this is
not a viable solution.
Why would the customer reach this conclusion?

A solution has been designed for a customer in which several servers will be connected to a VNX
array through CIFS. The CIFS file system size will be 1 TB. In addition, the customer is using
SnapSure; however, they are unsure about how much SavVol overhead will be required.
How much overhead is initially allocated for this solution?
