Q1

A customer requested a point-in-time replica of their Oracle database. You have architected a TimeFinder/Clone environment to meet the customer's requirements. However, the customer immediately notices that queries against the production database are noticeably slower than normal. Which recommendation helps minimize this performance impact?

Q2

A new data warehouse will be hosted on an existing 4-engine VMAX array. The database server has 4 HBAs connected at 4Gb/s. Due to limited SAN switch ports only port 0 on each VMAX FA is connected-also at 4Gb/s. The workload is expected to require at least 2300MB/s of reads at 128KB I/O size and must maintain performance in case of any major component failure in the host, switch or array. Assume that the existing workload on the VMAX does not exceed 100MB/s per port and assume that the ports can sustain up to 300MB/s without exceeding 70% utilization. What is the minimum number of FA ports needed to spread the workload evenly across all 4 VMAX engines and meet the above performance requirements?

Q3

A customer needs to collect performance data from the HP-UX hosts in the environment. Which collection utility is used?

Q4

You are planning a VMAX configuration with FAST VP for a customer's Exchange 2010 environment. The customer requests the database be placed on thin devices and the log files be placed on regular devices. Some of volumes are quite large and will require metavolumes to meet the capacity requirements. Which metavolume configuration should you use?

Q5

A Symmetrix VMAX storage array is designed for performance with the following configuration: What will be the limiting factor for performance?
