A company plans to install a Symmetrix VMAX in a Fibre Channel SAN environment. They need to protect data access to the Symmetrix port level.
Which feature needs to be implemented?

You are provisioning EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage for a large ESXi environment. A request has been made to present 320 LUNs to each of the physical hosts. When you examine the storage configuration on each of the hosts, you are able to see only some of the drives assigned.
What could be causing this issue?

A company currently has a PowerPath-enabled SAN environment with many hosts. A majority of the hosts have storage allocated from Fibre Channel drives and have poor service time. They intend to design a solution for Symmetrix VMAX storage consolidation to replace their current storage infrastructure.
What is a key design guideline to overcome this issue?

Four DRV devices are configured in an EMC Symmetrix DMX array. As per current settings, a maximum of four simultaneous swaps and eight swaps per day are allowed in the Symmetrix.
Optimizer analyzes the back-end I/O and decides to swap.
How many swaps are allowed at the same time?

You are performing a migration from DAS-based Microsoft SQL Servers to an EMC Symmetrix VMAX. In order to assure the highest levels of performance and availability, you ensure that all EMC best practices are followed.
In order to protect the database volumes from having write pendings being overwritten by new writes to the same area in global memory, which array setting should be configured?

You have been tasked with gathering performance data for a clustered Microsoft SQL Server database that resides on a Symmetrix VMAX LUN. Which Perfmon counter must be used to collect the write IOPS metric?

TimeFinder/Snap is being used as a point-in-time database reporting solution on a high-performance Oracle 11g database. During the time the snaps are activated, the 7 x 24 Oracle application experiences slow response times.
Which alternative solution will minimize contention when reading this point-in-time copy?

The front-end requests (FE Reqs/sec) consistently exceed the host IOs/sec on the EMC Symmetrix VMAX array shown in the exhibit.

Which type of I/O activity could cause this situation?

The exhibit shows the current port flag settings for a Symmetrix VMAX FA port.

Will the current settings allow Symmetrix VMAX storage to be successfully presented to a VMware vSphere ESXi server and why?

Refer to the Exhibit.

What is the connectivity recommendation when an ESXi server is connected to a one-engine Symmetrix VMAX array over an FC SAN?
