ABC.com running a Microsoft Exchange e-mail environment is primarily concerned about the
growing size of their mail server message stores. They are interested in using EMC EmailXtender
with EMC DiskXtender to archive the messages to an EMC Centera if that solution reduces the
size of their message stores.
How should you design the solution to address the customer’s concern?

Customer applications are running on HP-UX servers attached to a CX3-80. The CLARiiON LUNs
currently used by the application are 50 GB metaLUNs. The applications require more disk space.
Expansion of the CLARiiON metaLUNs to 100 GB has been proposed.
Which additional information is critical to the success of this solution?

A customer is planning to migrate all their high-performance cluster servers from a non-EMC array
to a Symmetrix DMX. There will also be a new SAN for the DMX.
For migration purposes, one DMX-FA pair will be connected to the non-EMC SAN. All servers will
be offline and re-cabled to the DMX SAN during the data migration.
Which migration method is appropriate for this project?

ABC.com currently uses EMC ControlCenter to manage a number of servers, switches, and
arrays. The EMC ControlCenter configuration includes a single Store and three Fibre Channel
Connectivity Agents.
What should be changed in this environment to accommodate a large number of new switches?

ABC.com has a dedicated network link between a primary and a backup site. The link is rated at
45 Mb/s and has a round-trip latency of 7 ms. There are four routers and no hubs between the
sites. The peak write bandwidth for the customer’s applications is 4 MB/s. They are planning to

use MirrorView/S between the sites.
Which factor will affect the customer’s application response times?

ABC.com plans to locate their primary production site and their secondary disaster recovery site
1,000 kilometers apart. The EMC account team has recommended they use DMX-3s running
SRDF/A. During the planning phase, it is estimated that: The SRDF/A minimum cycle time
parameter will be set to 20 seconds It will take 3 hours after a primary site failure to declare a
disaster and failover to the secondary site After a failover to the disaster site, it will take two hours
to bring up the applications and make the secondary site operational
What is the minimum recovery point objective that this supports?

You are designing an enterprise NAS solution for a customer. The customer requires synchronous
replication between two Celerras within a campus environment
Which Celerra replication would you propose?

A customer wants to back up approximately 80 servers in their data center. The servers have a
large number of small, unique graphics files.
Which solution should you recommend to the customer?

A national bank has an imaging application. The bank is currently capturing images of its
contracts, saving them to tape, and shipping them to a secondary data center for offsite storage.
The government requires the bank to retain individual records. However, the local administrator
requires that items be deleted from time to time to conform to local privacy laws. In a discussion,
the CIO mentioned that the bank recently lost a storage administrator and that the three remaining
administrators are overworked. The CIO also described how the bank’s business has been
growing rapidly and is getting ready to purchase a new tape silo for their environment.
Furthermore, the CIO complained about tape corruption issues and rising tape management costs.
After specifying EMC Centera cluster details, what other area should you consider for further
investigation to provide a highly available archiving solution?

ABC.com implemented their Microsoft Exchange architecture without first aligning the LUN
partitions.
What must you now do to align the production LUNs?
