Which of the following would be an appropriate choice for this customer?
A customer requires 30 TB of relatively inexpensive block storage for a DB2 database in the midrange
space. The customer also mentions the need for future performance increase as the project moves from test
and development status to full production over the next year.
Which of the following would be an appropriate choice for this customer?
A. Storwize V7000 with small form factor drives, and a second disk control enclosure added laterfor
additional performance.
B. Relatively low cost N3220 or IM3240 with SAS drives today, and the addition of PAM (Flash Cache) when
additional performance is needed.
C. DS3500 with a small number of SSD and large nearline SAS drives to keep down the cost, with Easy Tier
turned on when needed to optimize performance.
D. A 15 module XIV System Gen3 with relatively inexpensive nearline SAS drives for capacity and low cost,
8
with the option of adding SSD for speed in the future.
How can this customer extend the useful product life of their existing storage?
A customer learns that their storage is no longer supported with the version of Linux required by an
application they are using. How can this customer extend the useful product life of their existing storage?
A. Have the customer migrate to NFS protocol
B. Have the customer update the drivers on the servers
C. Put the existing storage behind a SAN Volume Controller
D. Have the customer update the code level on their storage device
Which of the following is the best response to this concern?
A customer is a rapidly growing company requiring midrange block storage, but wants to minimize storage
management complexity and cost. A single Storwize V7000 is proposed, but the customer is concerned that
they will quickly grow from 200 TB to 400 TB of capacity and thus outgrow the solution.
Which of the following is the best response to this concern?
A. Easy Tier on Storwize V7000 is no charge and automatic, thus providing an easy way to manage the
storage as well as improve the performance.
B. Clustering Storwize V7000 provides a way to grow capacity in a single management instance using small
form factor or large form factor drives.
C. Utilizing 3 TB drives in a single Storwize V7000 controller and expansion drawers provides the capacity
needed as well as the single management interface.
D. Storwize V7000 with no charge Active Cloud Engine allows the customer to mix and match small form
factor drives and large form factor drives in a single management interface.
What is an area that must be discussed with the customer to assure this conversion will be successful?
During storage discussions the customer has said they want to move away from Fibre Channel SAN switches
and use Ethernet only in their environment.
What is an area that must be discussed with the customer to assure this conversion will be successful?
A. Determine which vendor supplies the current SAN switches.
B. Check that the NIC cards the customer plans to use are supported by IBM.
C. Confirm that the customer’s applications can run Ethernet block protocols.
D. Identify whether the customer is running Disaster Recovery or Remote Mirroring.
