An EMC Symmetrix VMAX is shared between a company’s sales and engineering departments.
The company has the following requirements:
1. A specific user from the sales department should be allowed to execute TimeFinder commands on the devices set aside for sales using a Solaris host.
2. The same user should not be allowed control over devices belonging to engineering.
3. No other user with an account on the Solaris host should be able to exercise the same controls
specified in the first two requirements.
Which combination of access control permission and user-based authorization role will fulfill this requirement?

A company requires their ESXi server to boot from an EMC Symmetrix VMAX device over the SAN. What is a consideration?

A company plans to use Symmetrix VMAX Virtual Provisioning for their VMware ESXi servers.
They have standardized on 1 TB VMFS datastores built on single LUNs. However, they want the ability to grow the datastore if required.
What is the recommended Symmetrix VMAX storage allocation and why?

A storage administrator is planning to configure an EMC Symmetrix VMAX array for a few critical Microsoft Windows application servers. The array is running Enginuity 5874 and has a mixture of SATA, FC, and EFD disks installed. The application servers all require a mix of high performance and low performance capacity.
Which Symmetrix feature should be used to ensure the most dynamic and efficient use of the array with the best performance possible for all applications?

A company is planning to deploy Enterprise Flash Drives (EFDs) in their EMC Symmetrix VMAX array.
When using devices on the EFDs, which I/O profile will benefit the most?

A company is managing their VMware vSphere environment from a Microsoft Windows host. They want to use EMC Virtual Storage Integrator Storage Viewer and Path Management plug-ins.
Which software should be installed on the Windows host before installing the VSI plug-ins?

An application hosted on the Symmetrix is experiencing increasingly longer processing times.
However, the data has not changed in several months. New servers are being added regularly to the array, some of which are also experiencing poor performance.
Performance Manager shows an unbalanced back-end. How could this be resolved?

A company has been creating TimeFinder/Clone replicas of several Microsoft Exchange 2010 mailbox servers using Replication Manager. They have recently added a new Exchange Server 2010 mailbox host to the environment.
In addition, the company has created a scheduled job to create replicas of five storage groups in consecutive order. They notice that the newly added replica jobs seem to take a long time to complete.
What is the source of the problem?

A company must deploy Symmetrix Access Control restricting access to hosts that belong to the ADMIN group. Which two default Symmetrix Access Control Entries (ACE) must be removed to restrict access to hosts that do not belong to the ADMIN group?

Prior to creating your Symmetrix VMAX architecture for SQL, you are given a Perfmon Log view containing data for your database LUN. The file contains read and write IOPS collected over the past week, at 3-minute intervals.
Which method should be used to determine the correct IOPS target for calculating the appropriate number of RAID corrected spindles?
