discuss with them to address these concerns?
What method should you use to determine the correct I/O per second target number for calculating the number of
You review a Perfmon log that contains several days worth of data for a customer’s SQL Server
database LUN. The log contains both read and write I/O per second collected at 3-minute
intervals.
What method should you use to determine the correct I/O per second target number for calculating
the number of RAID corrected spindles?
How many spindles are needed to support the performance required for this Exchange environment?
Click on the calculator icon in the upper left-hand corner.
A customer is deploying an Exchange 2010 environment on an EMC VNX. There will be 30,000
mailboxes distributed across mailbox servers within a DAG (database availability group) that
maintains three database copies. Each user sends approximately 350 messages per day. The
customer wants to use 600 GB 15K drives in a RAID 5 group. How many spindles are needed to
support the performance required for this Exchange environment?
Which VNX performance feature would you recommend?
You configure an EMC VNX for iSCSI-attached Linux hosts. The customer’s application
generates small, random I/O and the data is frequently re-accessed. The customer has a limited
number of flash drives available. Which VNX performance feature would you recommend?
Which part of the VNX initiates failover of a Blade?
Which part of the VNX initiates failover of a Blade?
What could be a cause of the session failure?
A customer configures a SAN Copy session. They connect to the destination storage system and
select a destination LUN. When they run the SAN Copy session, it fails. What could be a cause
of the session failure?
How should the drives be physically located for better performance and stability?
You are installing a new EMC VNX. All flash drives will be provisioned for FAST Cache. The VNX
has the following hardware:
• 6 DAEs
• 24 Flash drives
• 24 SAS drives
• 24 NL-SAS drives
How should the drives be physically located for better performance and stability?
What configuration change is needed to allow the Exchange server access to Site C’s LUNs 101 and 102?
A customer is using MirrorView/S to replicate production data from Site A to Site C. The
production Exchange server is located at Site A and has access to LUNs 101 and 102. LUNs 101
and 102 are placed in a consistency group. Site A experiences a disaster and Site C is now
production. What configuration change is needed to allow the Exchange server access to Site C’s
LUNs 101 and 102?
Which SAN Copy configuration will allow them to avoid a fully provisioned thin LUN?
A customer plans to migrate from an EMC CLARiiON to a new EMC VNX. They want to migrate
some of the CLARiiON LUNs to thin LUNs on the VNX. Which SAN Copy configuration will allow
them to avoid a fully provisioned thin LUN?
