A banking application is actively replicating data using SRDF/A between a data center in New Jersey (NJ) and a data center in Texas (TX). For business continuity compliance, the application must run at each location, alternating active sites every six months.
What SRDF action should be taken to switch the active site and maintain SRDF/A replication with the least amount of data loss?
- A . Failover with Restore (to maintain original R1 data).
- B . Split, then Establish with Bypass (to force synchronization).
- C . Update R1 with Failback (not suitable for site switch).
- D . Move SRDF pairs (not a standard SRDF action).
In preparation for a bin file change to add I/O Modules and RF ports to an existing PowerMax 2000 system, Remote Proactive has placed a CE Lock on the frame.
While the CE Lock is in place, what configurations can be made on the frame?
- A . Changes can be made by releasing the CE lock without impacting the planned bin load.
- B . All provisioning operations are allowed with the lock in place.
- C . All provisioning operations are blocked with the lock in place.
- D . Creating and deleting new TDEVs is blocked, but masking operations are allowed.
A Storage Architect is placing two PowerMax 2500 systems in a customer rack 42U.
Which of the following placements is correct?
- A . Upper system: 21U – 29U, Middle system 11U – 19U, Lower system: 1U – 9U
- B . Upper system: 27U – 37U, Middle system 15U – 25U, Lower system: 3U – 13U
- C . Upper system: 18U – 26U, Middle system 9U – 17U, Lower system: 1U – 8U
- D . Upper system: 27U – 36U, Middle system 16U – 25U, Lower system: 5U – 14U
Which three SRDF management tasks can be performed using Unisphere for PowerMax? (Choose three.)
- A . Adding devices to a composite group for SRDF/A Multi Session Consistency.
- B . Directly editing the SRDF replication microcode.
- C . Deleting an SRDF group.
- D . Expanding an R1 device’s capacity online.
- E . Creating an SRDF/Metro virtual witness.
A Storage Architect has configured TimeFinder SnapVX on a PowerMax array to create space-efficient snapshots of a critical database volume. During a period of high write activity, they observe that the snapshot capacity utilization is increasing rapidly, even though the data being modified is relatively small.
Which characteristic of the TimeFinder SnapVX default algorithm for new writes is most likely contributing to this rapid snapshot capacity utilization?
- A . Copy on Asynchronous First Write
- B . Redirect on Write
- C . Copy on First Write
A single node pair PowerMax 8500 system is configured with 768 GB DRAM + 1 TB PMEM. The array requires a PMEM upgrade.
What is the only available PMEM upgrade option for this PowerMax configuration?
- A . 768 GB DRAM + 1.5 TB PMEM
- B . 768 GB DRAM + 4 TB PMEM
- C . 768 GB DRAM + 2 TB PMEM
- D . 768 GB DRAM + 3 TB PMEM
The Storage Architect takes hourly SnapVX snapshots with a Time-to-Live of 24 hours for a database hosted on one TDEV. Periodically, the snapshots are used for surgical restores where the point-in-time images are mounted on a recovery database that is hosted on another server.
How can the point-in-time SnapVX sessions be best accessed to support the database restore requirement?
- A . Create a target TDEV of the same size as the source TDEV that can be used as a linked target.
- B . Create a TimeFinder Clone of the source TDEV and refresh the clone hourly.
- C . Create 24 target TDEVs of the same size as the source TDEV that can be used as a linked target for each snapshot instance.
- D . Create 24 TDEV and use symsnap to create the hourly point-in-time and present the TDEVs to the recovery database server.
Due to space restrictions at the data center for the PowerMax 8500 system, the existing six node pairs with four DMEs are limited to grow within its existing rack.
What is a valid upgrade option in this scenario?
- A . One more DME (total five) can be installed in the existing rack.
- B . Two more DME (total six) can be installed in the existing rack.
- C . No additional node pairs or DME can be added to this configuration.
- D . Two more node pairs (eight node pairs) can be installed in the existing rack.
An enterprise client requires a highly customized PowerMax storage architecture to support their unique, performance-critical applications.
Where would a Dell engineer collaborate to build this tailored design?
- A . Solve Online
- B . Customer Solutions Centers
- C . JFrog Artifactory
- D . ISG Confluence
