Click on the calculator icon in the upper left corner. Refer to the exhibit. You are designing
the Symmetrix VMAX architecture for a DAS-to-SAN SQL Server migration. Currently all
user databases reside on a single locally attached disk enclosure, mounted to “N:\”. You
have decided on RAID-5 protected 15,000 RPM drives for the new SQL database and
RAID-1 for the transaction log. Last week, you configured Perfmon to record the current
IOPS load of the databases during the 8- hour business day, Monday thru Friday as shown
in the exhibit. During an average business day, the transaction log processes 87 GB worth
of data. Following EMC best practices, which discount can be taken from the overall write
IOPS, when calculating for the database writes?

Refer to the exhibit. A customer is planning to replace an end-of-lease DMX-2500 with a
new two engine VMAX. Because the customer has reported some performance issues with
the DMX, you have been asked to analyze the DMX and recommend the VMAX
configuration. This customer’s plan is for 10% growth over the next 24 months. The DMX
has 256GB cache and 380 x 300GB-10K FC drives. To avoid past performance issues but
keep the cost low, which configuration should be recommended?

Refer to the exhibit. A company plans to deploy a one engine Symmetrix VMAX array in
their VMware vSphere environment. The ESXi hosts will be connected to the VMAX array
over a FC SAN. What is the recommended best practice when zoning an ESXi host with two
HBAs to the VMAX?

Refer to the exhibit. A composite group spanning two Symmetrix arrays is set up to run
SRDF/Star using Cascaded SRDF as illustrated in the exhibit. Which condition must be met
before an MSC cycle switch is performed at site B?

Refer to the exhibit. The workload shown is from a single application running on a VMAX.
The workload is also from a single application on dedicated server. Which action(s) should
the customer perform?

Refer to the exhibit. The exhibit shows four examples from the SRDF/Star query output in
four different system states. Which state must an SRDF/Star configuration be in before Star
protection can be enabled using the symstar enable command?
