A customer has two sites, with a VNX system at each site. The local site has four application LUNs of 256 GB each. They are replicated to the remote site with MirrorView/S. The linkbetween the sites has an effective bandwidth of 100 MB/s. The application generates 800 random IOPS of 8 kB with a 3:1 R/W ratio on each of the LUNs. The link fails for 15 minutes.
How much data is copied to the secondary LUNs as part of the resynchronization process?
You implement FAST VP on an existing EMC VNX. The Extreme Performance pool holds 5% of usable storage, the Performance pool holds 20%, and the Capacity pool holds 75%. The Tiering Policy is set to Auto.
The attached hosts run several applications. Some applications access data frequently, while others are write-once read-never. Twenty minutes after tiering is started, the customer reports there is no performance improvement. How should you respond?
A customer needs to deploy an EMC RecoverPoint/SE 2-node cluster using physical RPAs.
What is the minimum count of IP addresses required?
A DBA wants to create a replicated, recoverable copy of an Oracle 11g database environment that will reside on a number of EMC VNX target drives.
The DBA performs the following:
-Puts the required tablespaces in hot backup mode
-Issues a checkpoint to the database
-Synchronizes and fractures the Oracle device pairs
-Ends hot backup mode
-Brings the replicated copy online
What action must the DBA take to enable the copy to start up successfully?
A customer is using VNX Replicator to replicate data from a single file system to a remote
location. They are planning to replicate more file systems, but monitoring tools are showing bursts of data on the link instead of a smooth and constant flow of data. They also notice that latency on the link is higher than expected.
What would you advise them to do to make more efficient use of the link?
You implement a CIFS DR solution for a customer using a One-to-Many replication topology. The customer asks you to explain replication behavior under the following conditions:
Production site failover or switchover to a DR site
Replication start and reverse is performed
What do you advise the customer?
A customer is asking you for help. They are creating a script that will collect data from the array using CLI from the Control Station. They want to gather information on LUN data consumption including metadata, snapshot and compression.
Which command will gather this information?
A customer is choosing which drives will be used for their SavVol. What are the characteristics of SavVol?
You are setting up Perfmon to record the number of I/O per second for a customer's clustered SQL Server prior to a migration to an EMC VNX. Which Perfmon counter should you add to the log view to obtain this information?
When creating a clone, what size must the clone be when compared to the source LUN?
A System Administrator is configuring Data Mover interfaces. They want to keep the same IP addresses on both sites, but also want to reduce the risk of having duplicate IPs on the same network.
How can this be accomplished?
