How should you recommend the host storage be provisioned on the VMAX array?
A customer wants to implement virtual provisioning on a new VMAX array and is concerned about
efficient use of available storage and application performance.
The VMAX environment will have file system, database and document repository hosts. The
customer reports the system hosts append data to the file system, the database hosts use auto-extend and the document repository hosts have low performance and growth requirements.

Which FAST policy would best lend itself to the chargeback system?
A Symmetrix VMAX is configured with FAST DP. It contains three tiers of storage:
1. 200 GB RAID 5 (3+1) EFD
2. 300 GB RAID 1 15K RPM Fibre Channel
3. 1 TB RAID 6 (6+2) 7200 RPM SATA
The storage administrator would like to charge each department that uses the VMAX for the
amount and class of storage they use. Which FAST policy would best lend itself to the chargeback
system?
