In addition to FAST VP tiers and FAST VP policies, what is the additional element of FAST VP?

A Symmetrix VMAX customer wants the ability to perform at least four concurrent FAST swaps.
What is the minimum required DRV configuration?

Which kind of device can be used for storing data in a FAST VP tier?

A customer plans to implement FAST VP on their Symmetrix VMAX arrays. They will use three
Virtual Pool tiers as shown below.
Tier Name Allocation Percent
T1_EFD 20%
T2_FC_15K 50%
T3_SATA_7R5 100%
Two storage groups S1 and S2 are associated with the policy. The application running on S1 is
more performance sensitive than the one on S2 and its storage needs to be relocated more
quickly when the need arises.
Which solution should be proposed?

The storage on a Symmetrix VMAX is divided into four static tiers:
TierA contains RAID 5 (3+1) Enterprise Flash Drives (EFDs)
TierB contains 2-Way-Mir 15K RPM Fibre Channel drives

–TierC contains RAID 5 (7+1) 10K RPM Fibre Channel drives
TierD contains RAID 6 (6+2) SATA drives
Which is a valid FAST policy?

You are planning to install Symmetrix Performance Analyzer (SPA) on a Microsoft Windows host.
You want to verify that SPA will be able to collect data from an attached Symmetrix array. You will
only be using the Advanced Diagnostics view for troubleshooting.
Which configuration setting do you need to check?

You are planning to install Symmetrix Performance Analyzer (SPA) on a Microsoft Windows host.
You want to verify that SPA will be able to collect data from an attached Symmetrix array. You will
be using the Real-time Monitoring view for troubleshooting.
Which configuration setting do you need to check?

You have just installed Symmetrix Performance Analyzer (SPA) on a server which already had
Symmetrix Management Console (SMC) installed and working. When one of your storage
administrators launches SPA, they are only able to see three of the five Symmetrix arrays.
What do you need to do to allow the storage administrators to see the other two arrays in SPA?

You have installed Symmetrix Performance Analyzer (SPA) on a server which already had
Symmetrix Management Console (SMC) installed and working. You verify that you are able to see
your arrays in SPA. Two days later you launch SPA but you are not able to see any statistics for
the Symmetrix arrays.
What do you need to do to ensure SPA is configured properly?

You are configuring a new installation of Symmetrix Performance Analyzer (SPA) to monitor two
production Symmetrix arrays and one test lab array. Complete statistics for the two production
arrays need to be gathered constantly. The test lab array needs to have statistics available for
historic review.
How should the arrays be registered for data collection in SPA?
