EMC Exam Questions

What can you recommend to improve overall VNX performance?

A customer has deployed a new application on a host using VNX storage. The new
application I/O size is 512 KiB, has a 50/50 read-write ratio, and its write behavior is
sequential and bursty. All other host applications are characterized by 4 KiB I/O random
writes. The customer has noticed degraded overall VNX performance during write bursts,
which is caused by the new application. Your analysis reveals a high rate of forced flushing,
as well as significant CMI congestion. What can you recommend to improve overall VNX
performance?

A.
Decrease the write-aside value

B.
Disable write back cache

C.
Increase the read cache area

D.
Enable mirror cache
