Which Symmetrix VMAX component is involved in measuring sampled average response time?

Your customer has security and management concerns with SRDF and Timefinder scripts that are
currently running on many production hosts. Symacl will be used to reduce or limit storage
management controls to two centralized management servers. How can your customer finish
migrating the scripts after symacl is enabled?

Which change in a Symmetrix VMAX workload will typically result in an increase in the read hit
rate?

A new data warehouse will be hosted on an existing 4-engine VMAX array. The database server
has 4 HBAs connected at 8Gb/s. Due to limited SAN switch ports only port 0 on each VMAX FA is
connected – also at 8Gb/s.
The workload is expected to require at least 1700MB/s of reads @ 128KB I/O size. It must
maintain performance in case of any major component failure in the host, switch or array. Assume
that the existing workload on the VMAX does not exceed 350MB/s per port. Also assume that the
ports can sustain up to 500MB/s without exceeding 70% utilization.
What is the best practice HBA to FA mapping to ensure the required performance of the data
warehouse?

Cascaded SRDF is running in SRDF/A mode from the source (R1) site to the disk-based

secondary (R21) site. Which SRDF mode is permitted between the R21 and the R2 sites?

A company uses VMware ESXi Servers and Symmetrix VMAX storage arrays. Which EMC Virtual
Storage Integrator feature allows the allocation of new Symmetrix VMAX storage to Virtual
Machines from the VMware vSphere client?

A company has a VMware vSphere 5.0 ESXi host using NUMA. This host is experiencing poor
performance. Which BIOS settings on the ESXi host could help alleviate this performance issue?

A data warehouse team is reporting poor performance on their batch reports. The database runs
on a Solaris host connected to a DMX-4 array with Fibre Channel drives sized to support a
sequential read workload. Which metrics in Performance Manager would be useful in diagnosing
the performance issue?

A customer requested a point-in-time replica of their Oracle database. You have architected a
TimeFinder/Clone environment to meet the customer’s requirements. However, the customer
immediately notices that queries against the production database are noticeably slower than
normal. Which recommendation helps minimize this performance impact?

Your customer has an Oracle 11g environment that requires a database to be recoverable within a
few minutes over an extended distance. Which best practice would you recommend to ensure
recoverability on the target side?
