An EMC customer has the following environment:
• VNX NAS running OE 7.0
• Avamar system with Gen3 hardware running v6.x software
• Avamar Accelerator Node with Gen4 hardware and 36 GB of memory running the v6.x Linux
client
The VNX system has one storage device with 20 volumes created on it. For the best backup
performance, how many accounts need to be created on the Accelerator Node?

A customer wants to add the capability for source-based deduplication to their current EMC
NetWorker environment. Their backup environment consists of two separate NetWorker servers
and four storage nodes. One NetWorker server and two storage nodes protect their UNIX
environment. The other NetWorker server and two storage nodes protect the Microsoft Windows
environment. What is the minimum number of Avamar servers that are required to protect both
environments?

An EMC Avamar customer needs a snapshot in order to backup their central administration
content database in their SharePoint farm. What is required to accomplish this task using the
SharePoint VSS plug-in?

You have been tasked with installing a 1 TB Avamar AVE server in an ESX environment for a new
customer. The customer has thick provisioned the correct amount of LUNs with the correct sizing.
The Performance Assurance Tool (PAT) has been loaded on the ESX environment and ran for 24
hours. The results come back and the test did not pass the requirements for an AVE installation.
The customer says the test was not valid because there was a high load on their ESX environment
at the same time the test was running. They want to run the test again.
Should the tests be run again without any changes to the environment?

You are implementing a deduplication node in a new EMC NetWorker environment. You have
already configured the Avamar server and are now creating the AFTD for metadata storage.

What is a consideration in configuring the device?

An EMC Avamar has been deployed as a device for a current NetWorker environment. The
customer has installed and activated the client on one of their Avamar servers. When the
customer attempts to configure the client to NetWorker, the client cannot be seen.
Why is this client unavailable from the customer’s NetWorker Management Console?

An EMC customer wants to use LDAP authentication for their Avamar administrator user
accounts. While testing the settings of the ldap.conf file with an ldapsearch string, a failure occurs
with error “525: User Not Found”
Which entry in the ldap.conf file is the root cause for this error?

An EMC Avamar customer wants to configure VADP to protect virtual machines at an image level.
When attempting to add a vCenter server as an Avamar client, they receive an error. They have
created the account on the vCenter server with proper permissions and verified the username and
password are correct. Certificate Authentication has been disabled.
What is the most likely cause of this error?

A customer is backing up a 1 TB Oracle database to an EMC Avamar server. They plan to
reconfigure it to use an incremental strategy. Their goals are to shorten the backup runtime while
maintaining the most simple recovery procedure possible.
What is the recommended configuration?

An EMC customer is using the Avamar Exchange 2007 plug-in for message level backups on two
Microsoft Windows Exchange 2007 environments in an Active Directory Forest. They are deployed
in a high availability configuration. The customer wants the ability to successfully backup after a
cluster failover. What must be done to achieve a successful backup?
