what recommendation should you make to your customer?
A customer is using a virtualized environment with a large number of NFS datastores presented
from a VNX system. They are experiencing more than expected network traffic on their datastore
networks.
According to EMC best practices, what recommendation should you make to your customer?
How would you respond to your customer’s concerns?
A customer with a virtualized environment has asked you to architect a new VNX storage solution
utilizing their many NFS datastores. They are also deploying a new Cisco Unified Computing
System as their compute base. However, they believe that virtualizing their critical servers may
cause network performance concerns because these servers have a very high transaction rate
with a CPU bound application.
How would you respond to your customer’s concerns?
Which tool is best suited to identify database performance issues?
Your customer is reporting less than optimal performance for their online payment processing
application. The payment processing application is running on a Windows Server cluster with the
back-end Oracle databases running on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL). Both the application and
database environments have been presented storage from the customer’s VNX solution.
Which tool is best suited to identify database performance issues?
Which statement correctly identifies the performance impact on their environment?
A customer wants to mark an Incremental SAN Copy Session at 12:00 UTC, and start the transfer
of data at 20:00 UTC. Their data access pattern consists of small block I/O, with around 80%
reads.
Which statement correctly identifies the performance impact on their environment?
Which is a valid architecture?
Exchange 2010 is being implemented on a pair of VNX storage arrays. There will be a production
site and a DR site, each with two servers and one VNX storage array. EMC RecoverPoint will
handle the remote replication between the sites.
Which is a valid architecture?
What would you recommend?
A customer is implementing a VNX for File solution in a performance-oriented application
environment. There are Windows and Linux VM clients accessing the file systems. The customer
wants to track both file system and DataMover utilization. The Performance Administrator prefers
GUI to CLI access.
What would you recommend?
Which tool is best suited to identify performance issues on the application servers?
Your customer is reporting less than optimal performance for their online payment processing
application. The payment processing application is running on a Windows Server cluster with the
back-end Oracle databases running on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL). Both the application and
database environments have been presented storage from the customer’s VNX solution.
Which tool is best suited to identify performance issues on the application servers?
how many drives can the surviving SP address at the same time if array ports 0 and 2 are used?
If an SP fails within a VNX system, how many drives can the surviving SP address at the same
time if array ports 0 and 2 are used?
What would you recommend to your customer to avoid misalignment between a partition used by the Windows 2003 S
Your customer has a Microsoft SQL installation on a VMware guest Windows 2003 Server using
RDM. The ESXi server uses a VNX system.
What would you recommend to your customer to avoid misalignment between a partition used by
the Windows 2003 Server and the underlying physical disk?
What advice would you give to your customer to assist them with the upgrade of their environment?
A VMware 5 customer is planning to upgrade their networking environment to 10 Gb Ethernet.
They would also like to use real time vMotion to ensure balanced application load distribution
throughout their environment. They are also currently running their VMware environment on 64bit,
dual core processors.
