Six months ago, you implemented an SQL 2008 database and followed EMC best practices for
sizing and layout. The database is now experiencing performance slowdowns. You configure
Perfmon to capture “disk bytes per second”, “average disk queue length”, and “percent disk time”

in a log view for the database volumes. The log shows the disk bytes per second remained steady
but there was an increase in the average disk queue length.
Which action should you take to solve this problem?

An EMC VNX is enabled for FAST Cache using four 200 GB Flash drives. Ten additional Flash
drives are available for SQL databases. Which SQL database object would be best suited to utilize
these drives?

An EMC VNX with FAST Suite will be used as block storage for a mail environment with four
Exchange 2010 servers. The Exchange servers will serve as mailbox and archive mailbox
servers. The VNX has the following disks in two DAEs:
– Five 200 GB Flash drives
– Fifteen 600 GB SAS drives
– Ten 2 TB NL-SAS drives
What storage pool design will provide balance between performance and storage provisioning?

A customer plans to add a new LUN to a Windows 2003 server. They are aware that LUN disk
crossing will affect performance. Which procedure can significantly reduce LUN disk crossings in
an SQL environment?

A VNX customer has a production read-intensive Oracle environment that requires immediate
access for end-user reporting. Which EMC replication application meets the customer’s business
requirement?

A customer is implementing an Etherchannel environment. They are concerned about the how the

VNX will handle the traffic load distribution.
What is used by VNX to distribute the traffic?

A customer plans migrate several Exchange 2010 databases to a new RAID 5 storage pool on an
EMC VNX. The VNX has the FAST Cache and FAST VP enablers installed. Exchange 2010 is
installed on a vSphere guest.
What performance best practice should be considered when migrating Exchange 2010 to the
storage pool?

Exchange 2010 has been installed on a virtual machine using RDMs in physical mode. What best
practice should be followed when using Replication Manager with Exchange 2010?

An implementation engineer installs a DR solution to protect ten CIFS servers at site A. VNX
Replicator will be used to replicate these servers and their shares from Site A to Site B.
How many Virtual Data Movers should be configured for the servers to be protected on Site A to
ensure maximum portability?

A customer is testing their new MirrorView/A configuration between two EMC VNX. What will be
the state of a newly created mirror after it is added to a previously synchronized Consistency
Group?
