saving money on overall storage costs

Question 8

A customer seeks the financial return (ROI) of multiView. What are two benefits that the customer can expect from this solution? (Choose two.)

Options:

A.

Using redirect-on-write and multiView, applications can be restored very quickly.

B.

Using copy-on-write and multiView, applications can be restored very quickly.

C.

Low capacity snapshots will reduce CAPEX by eliminating redundant copies.

D.

Low capacity snapshots will reduce CAPEX by reducing hardware footprint.

Question 9

Which three financial benefits are realized when a customer installs SVM with multiMigrate? (Choose three.)

Options:

A.

Continue operations during infrastructure upgrades.

B.

Introduce new storage devices quickly.

C.

Eliminate storage previously reserved for backups and copies.

D.

Reduce cost by utilizing high end storage only for high end data.

E.

Reduce cost associated to application engineering.

Question 10

How can SVM's centralized management provide better performance?

Options:

A.

by allocating capacity across RAID arrays

B.

by striping volumes across RAID arrays

C.

by mirroring volumes across RAID arrays

D.

by provisioning additional servers

Question 11

A customer is considering creating a remote disaster recovery site 2500 miles (4000 km) away. They are considering multiMirror sync and async modes. Why should they choose async mode?

Options:

A.

Async mirroring always uses FC verses IP for better performance.

B.

Async mirroring can span long distances without performance loss.

C.

Async mirroring was designed for server-to-server or disk-to-disk mirroring.

D.

Based on the async mirroring standards, it is only good for distances in excess of 1000 (1600 km) miles.

Question 12

When moving existing LUNs into a pool, which feature would you use?

Options:

A.

SVM multiCopy

B.

SVM multiMirror

C.

SVM multiView

D.

SVM disk import

Question 13

What are the two issues with mid-range RAID-based migration tools? (Choose two.)

Options:

A.

Source and target devices need to be from the same vendor.

B.

Servers are required to do the migration.

C.

Downtime is required to do the migration.

D.

The SAN fabric must support migration.

Question 14

A customer runs their batch jobs each evening immediately after completing their tape backup of their applications as a recovery point. Recently their tape backup has been failing, giving them no recovery point and putting their business at risk in the event of a problem with the batch jobs that may arise during the day. How can MultiView be used to give them a consistent recovery point in the event of a failed backup?

Options:

A.

multiView will migrate the data online to another disk that can be used as a backup in the event of tape failure.

B.

multiView will provide the means to consolidate the last evening backup with the current backup in the event of a tape failure.multiView will provide the means to consolidate the last evening? backup with the current backup in the event of a tape failure.

C.

multiView takes PiT copies of database applications at user defined times. In the event of a tape failure, the backup can be redone off the same PiT image.

D.

multiView will provide a full physical copy of the applications. In the event of a tape failure, the backup can be redone from the full physical copy.

Question 15

A customer must be absolutely certain that there will be no performance impact of multiView snapshots on a key financial database. How can multiView and multiCopy be used together to satisfy the customer's requirement?

Options:

A.

multiView can be used to take a PiT copy. Additional PiTs can then be taken off the first PiT for test and development.

B.

multiCopy can be used to copy the database to another storage array. multiView can then be used to take low capacity PiTs of the copy for test and development.

C.

multiCopy will create a steady stream of data to a copy area. multiView can then be used to take PiTs whenever they are required for test and development.

D.

MultiView can be set to only read the PiT data when the volume is not in use. Requests for PiTs for test and development can therefore be queued.

Question 16

The IT manager from a major Internet book retailer is looking for a backup solution for their company. Because its online catalog must be accessible at all times, they are looking for a solution that allows zero-impact backups. Which solution would you suggest to them?

Options:

A.

Add VMware ESX servers in front of SVM so that some servers could manage backup functions while others could continue to service I/O requests.

B.

Use SVM to provision a server farm that allows the online catalog to be present in two locations: one for transactions and another for backups.

C.

Use SVM multiView and a backup application, so they can do backups with no impact on production servers or on the LAN.

D.

Add a second, less powerful storage array that SVM multiCopy constantly streams to as an online backup service.

Question 17

While considering mirroring techniques, the customer is unsure whether to choose multiMirror sync or async mode. Which two concepts does the customer need to know to make an educated decision? (Choose two.)

Options:

A.

Sync mirror is good for all applications.

B.

Sync mirror works well in a campus or MAN environment.

C.

Sync mirror requires no manual intervention for failover.

D.

Sync mirror always requires manual intervention for failover.

Question 18

Your customer explains that previously they used a host-based mirroring product. After their most recent failure, the remote site was unusable due to corruption. How would multiMirror handle this problem?

Options:

A.

multiMirror will not corrupt data based on its internal ECC correction code.

B.

Host-based mirroring uses IP which can be less reliable than FC.

C.

multiMirror uses the reliability of the RAID devices to accomplish a much more reliable copy.

D.

Snapshot-enabled mirroring allows multiMirror to retain several recovery points at the remote site for rollback purposes.
