You are architecting a VMware virtualized Exchange 2010 solution that will include
replication of the Exchange volumes using VMware snapshots. Which type of storage
should be presented to the VMs in order to facilitate replication?

A customer is deploying a multi-node ESXi cluster and DRS to automatically move VM
Servers using vMotion around the cluster. What is the variable to be considered in the

You are completing a detailed configuration for a VMAX that will support a new Oracle 11g
instance and database. Which volume configuration is best for the Oracle Redo Log files?

A data warehouse team is reporting poor performance on their batch reports. The database
runs on a Solaris host connected to a DMX-4 array with Fibre Channel drives sized to
support a sequential read workload. Which ratio in Performance Manager metrics would be
most useful in diagnosing the performance issue?

A large customer has a formal Capacity and Performance Measurement (CPM) department.
Some of this customer’s business users describe the environment as good, while others
describe the environment as challenged. They know that the CPM department has
proactively avoided some issues but are frustrated by other occasions when they have
experienced performance short-falls or insufficient storage resources. How would you
categorize this Performance Management style?

Click on the calculator icon in the upper left corner. A new Oracle database is being
deployed on a VMAX array. The DBA requests 4TB of usable capacity to be managed by
Oracle ASM. This includes 2TB for primary data and 1TB for Oracle Flashback capacity.
Devices will be provisioned from a single VP pool and will be fully pre-allocated. No remote
replication is planned. Which configuration will provide the best performance and availability
for the database?

In a Cascaded Dynamic SRDF environment, Customer is experiencing performance issues
at Site-A. To immediately correct the issue, a command was issued to vary the RF-ports
offline between Site-B and Site-C. A query of the RA-Group between Site-B and Site-C
shows the link is in a suspended state. There are concerns that when the RF-ports are
brought back online the RAGroup will resume replication and recreate performance issue at
Site-A. What action can be taken to ensure replication does not resume when RF-ports are
brought back online?

A company uses VMware ESXi Servers and Symmetrix VMAX storage arrays. Which EMC
Virtual Storage Integrator feature will show an end-to-end mapping of storage resources;
from an ESXi LUN all the way to the Symmetrix VMAX volume?

You are designing a Symmetrix VMAX array with 15K rpm Fibre Channel drives and 7.2K
rpm SATA drives. How can you ensure that every back-end director manages just one type
of drive?
