A customer currently uses EMC Ionix ControlCenter to manage a number of servers, switches,
Fibre Channel arrays, and NAS devices. The EMC Ionix ControlCenter configuration includes a
single store and one Storage Agent for NAS.
What can be done to change this environment to accommodate a large number of new NAS
devices?

A customer has a requirement to migrate a large dataset to a remote site located 1,000 km from
the primary site. Additionally, this customer has asked for a solution that has the least
performance impact on any production host.
Which data migration solution would you recommend?

Your customer wants to add SnapView functionality to their existing CLARiiON environment. Your
analysis of the environment shows that the current SP utilization is consistently over 60%.
What should be your recommendation to the customer?

For 11.e.9 A customer who is currently using SRDF/AR is migrating to an SRDF/A solution. They
need to configure the environment to meet their RPO requirements.
What determines the potential data loss in an SRDF/A solution?

A customer is configuring an SRDF replicated pair of Symmetrix VMAX arrays for Virtual
Provisioning. The source array uses 450 GB, 15k RAID 5 3+1 devices for the TDAT pool. The
target array uses 1 TB, SATA RAID 6 6+2 devices for the TDAT pool. They are getting an error
when attempting to create a relationship between source and target TDEV devices.
What is the reason?

A customer has two data centers, both in California (Sites A and B), using SRDF/S to replicate
their mission-critical data between each. The customer has just purchased another VMAX at Site
A to accommodate projected capacity requirements.

They want to move data not being replicated from the existing VMAX onto the new array. The
customer requires a low-cost solution that has minimal impact on the performance of the
production volumes.
Which solution best meets their requirements?

In an SRDF/S environment, a customer fails over to the disaster recovery site and runs production
at the DR site for several hours.
Which step(s) will ensure a restartable point-in-time copy of the data prior to failing back to the
primary site?

An Oracle 11g customer is looking at the option of implementing TimeFinder/Clone to create daily
point-in-time copies. The Oracle objects are placed on a number of volumes. During the
conversation both the DBA and the storage administrator have indicated that they would prefer not
to use device groups to control the clone pairing.
What other option is possible for this customer?

A customer is working on a large virtualization project. They have asked you for assistance in
determining a server strategy and design for the new environment. You will be included in the
project from its inception through final implementation.
Which VMware technology should be used first to assess the current physical server
environment?

In your virtualization environment you have ESX hosts that are capable of hyperthreading. When
configuring the virtual machine scheduling parameters, what is the preferred hyperthreading
sharing choice?
