To which point can the database be recovered?
A company has activated a consistent clone replica of an Oracle database without using hot backup mode on February 26th. The Oracle instance continues to run until March 6th. On March 7th, the company realizes that an application problem occurred on February 28th.
To which point can the database be recovered?
What is the most likely reason for the VSS error?
A company is using Replication Manager to backup their Microsoft Exchange 2010 environment using Microsoft Volume Shadow Service (VSS). Following a database corruption, the company wants to perform a database restore using Replication Manager from the previous night’s backup.
When trying to perform the restore, you receive a VSS error.
What is the most likely reason for the VSS error?
Which Perfmon counter must be used to collect the write IOPS metric?
You have been tasked with gathering performance data for a Microsoft SQL Server database that resides on a Symmetrix VMAX LUN. Which Perfmon counter must be used to collect the write IOPS metric?
Which component of the VSI software suite should be left out of the deployment?
A company has a large vSphere environment with multiple EMC Symmetrix VMAX arrays connected to it. Management of this environment has become challenging for both vSphere and SAN administrators. They have agreed that Virtual Storage Integrator should be implemented to help manage their environment.
The companys management states that only the storage administrator should be able to provision storage. Provisioning storage from within vSphere should be prohibited.
Which component of the VSI software suite should be left out of the deployment?
What might be causing this low utilization?
You are examining the performance of a weekly backup. You notice that the utilization for the Symmetrix front-end director CPUs involved in the backup is very low.
What might be causing this low utilization?
How can this impact to the nightly process be prevented?
Storage administrators for a Symmetrix running Enginuity 5773 need to increase allocated storage for Microsoft Exchange LUNs without interrupting the mail server’s operation. Performing a protected striped LUN expansion causes a critical nightly clone operation to run for hours instead of minutes. This impacts later dependent jobs, preventing production operations from completing.
How can this impact to the nightly process be prevented?
If Oracle is not placed in hot backup mode, what is the state of the Oracle tablespaces in the replica?
A database administrator is concerned about the performance impact of placing a busy Oracle instance in hot backup mode. They want to take TimeFinder/Clone consistent replicas every three hours.
If Oracle is not placed in hot backup mode, what is the state of the Oracle tablespaces in the replica?
What could be causing the failure?
A company is using Replication Manager to backup their Microsoft Exchange 2010 environment using Microsoft Volume Shadow Service (VSS). Each Exchange database and log volume has separate Symmetrix VMAX LUNs. A Replication Manager backup job for a Microsoft Exchange 2010 server with 20 databases keeps failing to complete a backup.
What could be causing the failure?
What are the access control rights that need to be given to the Symmetrix Service Processor?
Access control is being deployed in an EMC Symmetrix environment. What are the access control rights that need to be given to the Symmetrix Service Processor?
What is the likely cause for the low disk space?
A company is using Replication Manager to back up multiple Microsoft Exchange 2010 mailbox servers. They have configured a backup job defining the options for performing VSS backups of each Exchange storage group on each server. All backups are executing successfully, but the company has recently started to experience problems with low disk space on the transaction log volume of one particular storage group.
