A customer has an environment where one application has a very high, sequential,

write-intensive workload. They would like to use Dynamic Cache Partitioning to isolate this
workload from the other applications. How should DCP be configured to separate the
write-intensive workload from the other applications?

Click on the calculator icon in the upper left corner. A new storage request is submitted for
the production instance of an new application from development. The request is for 3 x
200GB LUNs on a recently purchased VMAX array. While discussing the request with the
application team they mention that performance of their test environment has been poor
during load testing on an existing DMX-4 array. You check Performance Manager statistics
for the DMX-4 and discover that they are using 3 x 100GB LUNs for testing and they are
sometimes reaching Device Write Pending. What will best avoid the Write Pending issue in
production?

What allows VMkernel to reduce memory duplication in the virtual machine’s memory?

You are planning a migration for 20 VMware ESXi 5.0 servers from a DMX-4 to a new EMC
VMAX array. Each server uses VMFS volumes and hosts more than 50 VMs. The customer
reports their environment workload tends to be low outside of normal business hours but
their service level agreement only permits one 4-hour offline window per quarter. Which tool
do you recommend be used to migrate the ESXi servers to the VMAX?

A company is investigating memory issues with a VMware vSphere implementation. How
would the company determine if there are memory issues at the host level when monitoring
through a vSphere vCenter Server?

Which database workload is suitable for EFD configuration?

You are designing a Symmetrix VMAX Virtual Provisioning solution for a VMware vSphere
environment. Storage allocation must be guaranteed for some mission critical virtual
machines. What format should you recommend when creating virtual disks for these
mission critical virtual machines?
