The correct sequence of actions that take place on a Write Miss is as follows:

• Host sends requests to FE director and no cache slots are found.This happens when the cache is full or the desired cache slot is locked by another request1.
• FE finds available slot by polling.This involves the FE director scanning the cache for an available slot or waiting for a slot to be freed by the BE director2.
• FE sends data from host to mirrored cache locations.This involves the FE director writing the data from the host to two mirrored locations in the cache, one on each engine2.
• FE responds to host to acknowledge successful write.This involves the FE director sending a signal to the host that the write operation is completed, even though the data is not yet written to disk2.
• BE destages data as a high-priority task to make slots available.This involves the BE director flushing some of the existing write pending data from the cache to the disk, in order to free up some cache slots for new write requests2.
• BE destages new data to disk at a later time.This involves the BE director writing the new data from the cache to the disk, according to the destaging algorithm and priority2.

The alert settings required are a first level warning at 10 ms and a second level critical alert at 15 ms. These settings will ensure that high I/O response times for a specific storage group are tracked and appropriate actions are taken when the response times exceed the specified thresholds. References: Dell EMC PowerMax: Service Levels for PowerMaxOS

The correct answer is D. When an SRDF/A MSC trip event occurs, the Receive Delta Set on the target arrays is checked for completeness. If the Receive Delta Set is incomplete on any of the target arrays, the session is marked as Cleanup required. This means that the data on the target arrays is not consistent and needs to be cleaned up before resuming SRDF/A replication. The symstar cleanup command can be used to discard the incomplete Receive Delta Set data and resume SRDF/A replication from the last consistent point1
