ABC.com is planning a second data center 20 miles (30km) away. The second site will be a
Disaster Recovery (DR) site and will also be a second tier data repository for less important data.
During the process of gathering information, you conclude that ABC.com can tolerate up to 30
minutes of data loss. a total of 1000 LUNs will need to be replicated to this site. You have. The
following values are observed after assembling Performance Manager data for a normal working
day Write response time: 5msRead response time: 14msWrite/s: 400Reads/s: 700
Which is a solution that you would recommend for this situation?

A client requested that you provide the number of physical disks required to support its Microsoft
exchange 2003 Storage Groups. The company has 12,500 users at 1.2 IOPS. AT peak activity, up
to 10,000 users could be logged on to exchange. What other information is required to accurately
calculate the number of required disk spindles to meet the user IOPS requirements?

You are an administrator for ABC.com.While interviewing the IT staff and management of
ABC.com, you discover that storage policies have been defined and documented and that all staff
follows these policies. The process maturity is most closely reflected by which EMC Enterprise
Maturity rating?

You are an administrator for ABC.com. ABC.com, who has an existing SAN with DS-16B switches,
purchases an ED-24000B. ABC.com plans to employ a core-edge design. Currently, the SAN
supports HP-UX servers. However, after the fabric merge has been completed, the host can no
longer access the devices. How did this problem originate?

You are a designer for ABC.com. ABC.com wants their Windows server to be attached to an
existing CX700 array. You have completed the appropriate design, which allows for this server to
attach and receive two LUNs from the CX700, and to use SnapView Clones for data protection.
These LUNs will be configured as basic disks within Windows. Which option would you consider
best practice to accurately configure these LUNs, prior to creating the partitions within the
Windows operating system?

ABC.com requested a ControlCenter Health Check for its storage infrastructure. Which type of
solutions design engagement does this represent?

During an interview with ABC.com, a Sales Manager mentions that there have been several
performance problems with their sales order entry system.” Of the following, which ITIL? process
would you concentrate on to attend to this problem?

The ABC.com environment comprises 35 UNIX servers using a combination of direct attached
storage, as well as a small SAN storage system that supports 10 servers. The SAN offers single
port access to the servers. The EMC sales team is eager to replace the existing SAN storage
vendor and increase the utilization of SAN storage for ABC.com. The team proposes redundant
fabrics and the use of PowerPath. What information must you collect if you have to determine the
number of HBAs that ABC.com will require in each server?

An HP-UX 9000/800 host currently uses multi-pathed storage provisioned from a Symmetrix 8830.
All LUNs are presented to the host application using Veritas Volume Manager. The storage array
is being replaced by a DMX1000. This will require a data migration effort. The host is running
several 24×7 applications and needs to be online during the migration.
Two approaches are being considered host-based mirror/split of the Veritas volumes or arraybased SRDF. What is a disadvantage of using host-based volume mirroring for the migration?
