What are examples of metrics collected at the LUN and sub-LUN level by FAST VP during
user defined performance windows?

A new EMC customer recently installed their first VMAX and a complete suite of EMC
management tools. Their lead capacity planner attended training and has started monitoring
the VMAX. You receive a call and this person describes the measurements observed.
During the period of heaviest workload, reported throughput on certain Fibre Channel ports
is nearing 150,000 KB/second but those ports display only about 10% utilization. What is
the likely cause?

Click on the calculator icon in the upper left corner. A customer is implementing an
Exchange environment on an EMC Symmetrix VMAX. The environment will be deployed on
600 GB FC 15K drives using RAID 1 data protection. The application generates 1350 I/O
per second and has a 2:1 read/write ratio. What is the minimum number of drives

recommended to support the application?

Click on the calculator icon in the upper left corner. A customer is implementing an
Exchange environment on an EMC Symmetrix VMAX. The environment will be deployed on
600 GB FC 15K drives using RAID 5 data protection. The application generates 2000 I/O
per second with an I/O pattern that is 75% reads and 25% writes. What is the minimum
number of drives recommended to support the application?

When designing a VMware cluster, which VM storage adapter reduces CPU utilization and
allows high I/O throughputs?

You have been asked to start the analysis of an I/O response time issue in a four engine
VMAX but do not yet have access to any detailed SPA or WLA data. Which component is
most likely to be causing the response time delay?

A company plans to deploy Symmetrix VMAX arrays in their VMware vSphere environment.
The ESXi hosts will be connected to the VMAX arrays over a FC SAN. What VMAX FA port
