Which steps need to be completed before the final configuration of DCP?
A storage administrator is planning to implement Dynamic Cache Partitioning (DCP) on an EMC Symmetrix VMAX array. There are 17 applications running on hosts attached to this array.
Which steps need to be completed before the final configuration of DCP?
What could be the issue?
An EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage array is hosting multiple Microsoft Exchange 2010 servers in a virtualized infrastructure. Replication Manager is being used with TimeFinder/Clone to provide backups of the Microsoft Exchange 2010 environment with Microsoft Volume Shadow Service (VSS).
Each hypervisor has two HBAs which are zoned into separate fabrics with four FAs from the Symmetrix VMAX in each fabric. The hypervisors host four Exchange 2010 servers that contain 20 databases each. When presenting the RDMs to the hypervisors using Auto-Provisioning, some of the RDMs are not visible.

What is the minimum number of DRV devices that the administrator needs to configure?
A storage administrator is configuring Optimizer on an EMC Symmetrix VMAX array. The array is configured entirely with RAID 5 (3+1) devices. All devices are 8 GB and all devices are R1 devices with SRDF/A mirrors on a remote array.
Optimizer has completed the first cycle of performance analysis and has recommended a large number of device swaps to balance the activity on the array. The storage administrator has been asked to minimize the time it takes to complete all the swaps.

When will SPC be most effective?
Some applications on an EMC Symmetrix VMAX array are remotely replicated with SRDF/S.
Symmetrix Priority Controls (SPC) is used to improve performance of these applications.

Which SQL Server component(s) must be included in the SRDF/S replication to meet this requirement?
You have decided to implement SRDF/S to replicate your Microsoft SQL Server database to a remote site. The database is running in mixed-mode authentication and is comprised of three data files, each in their own file group. One of the requirements of this solution is that the database be restartable at the remote site without losing any data.
Which SQL Server component(s) must be included in the SRDF/S replication to meet this requirement?
