In a ABC.com environment that consists of 25 UNIX and 15 Windows servers, all of the servers
have either internal storage or direct attached storage. These servers are used for file sharing,
home directories, and custom applications. In order to propose a storage solution, you require a
complete representation of ABC.com’s servers. Which of the following methods of data collection
will provide for this?

You are a designer for ABC.com. ABC.com plans to implement a new CX700 with SnapView for
their Windows environment. ABC.com’s client is still deciding whether Dynamic Disks or
metaLUNs should be use for their file systems. What advantage will the client gain by selecting
metaLUNs rather than Dynamic Disks?

SnapView Snapshots is employed by ABC.com for its nightly backups of a database that has
numerous LUNs for data and logs across both CX700 SPs. The SnapView process is scripted to
run on the production host. The application, however, cannot be quiesced without downtime. How
can the downtime be eradicated and still guarantee a backup that can be restarted?

EMC is called into a meeting with ABC.com to discuss the consolidation of their environment.
ABC.com currently possesses 2 Exchange servers, 5 Windows application servers connected to 2
Connectrix DS-16Bs, and also the switches are connected to a Symmetrix 8530. The engineering
department has 8 Linux hosts with direct attached storage, and the marketing department has 20
Windows hosts that are also using direct attached storage. ABC.com does have a new application
that requires the sharing of files between the two departments. ABC.com’s Symmetrix 8530 and
Brocade switches are off warranty and ABC.com would like to refresh the environment. Cost
control is a top priority according to the current year budget limitations. What is an initial design
that is suitable?

You are planning to consolidate server storage from UNIX and Windows servers onto either a
CLARiiON CX700 or a Celerra NS70AG. The servers are file servers, web servers, application
servers and database servers. You need to categorize the servers to determine which will benefit
from being SAN attached and which will benefit from being migrated to NAS. How should you
initially categorize the servers?

You are a designer for ABC.com. You haveproposed a Data Center migration for a single storage
array and multiple hosts. Duplicate equipment has been procured for a new site, and the project
plan has been approved. You will perform a test migration on ABC.com’s development
environment. What document is the most important to develop for the test migration?

ABC.com has an imaging application and is currently capturing images of its contracts, saving
them to tape, and shipping them to a secondary datacenter for offsite storage. The government
requires ABC.comto hold on to certain records, but the local administrator informs you that he has
to delete items periodically to comply with local privacy laws. In a discussion, the CIO mentions
that ABC.comrecently lost a storage administrator and that the three remaining administrators are
overworked. He also described how ABC.com’s business has been growing rapidly, and that they
are preparing to purchase a new tape silo for their environment. In addition, the CIO complains
about tape corruption issues and rising tape management costs. To provide a highly available
archiving solution, which other aspect should you consider for further analysis after specifying
Centera cluster details?

ABC.com is using TimeFinder/Snaps for its daily reports on a database that has several LUNs for
data and logs. The report generation runs on an auxiliary host. The application can’t be quiesced
without downtime. How can the downtime be eliminated while ensuring a restartable copy for
report generation?

You are preparing a preliminary migration analysis for existing customer. It currently has 20
Windows servers, 13 Linux server, a Symmetrix 8530, a SAN and one NetApps filer. In addition,
some of the host applications use direct attached storage. The target of the migration is a

CLARiiON which is accessible using SAN and a NAS gateway. Which methods of migration would
be appropriate for this project?

You are planning for ABC.com Windows server to be attached to an existing CX700 array. You
have completed the proper design for this serer to attach and receive two LUNs from the CX700
and use SnapView Clones for data protection. These LUNs will be configured as basic disks within
Windows. Which best practice should be performed to properly configure these LUNs prior to
creating the partitions within the Windows Operating Systems?
