While designing a PowerMax 8500 system, the capacity requirements require 298 drives in a RAID 5(12+1) configuration.
What is the minimum number of node pairs that must be configured?

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 customer requires high performance and redundancy for a mission-critical application on a PowerMax 8500 system.
Which Flexible RAID configuration would be most appropriate?

A Storage Architect is planning a performance-driven expansion of an existing two-Brick PowerMax 8500 system to a four-Brick configuration. They are researching best practices to ensure optimal performance and avoid potential bottlenecks.
What is a critical consideration during this PowerMax 8500 Brick expansion?

Due to limited space in the data center, your customer wants to deploy a new two-node pair PowerMax 2500 system using an existing third-party rack.
Which guidance best describes the support for a third-party rack installation?

You have been tasked with creating a comprehensive environmental report for your customers. They want to include several Dell and NetApp products within the report.
Which tool should you use to analyze and produce this report?

Refer to the exhibit.

Referring to the packing slip, extract the sizer ID from the Sales Order to put into PowerSizer.

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 Storage Architect is preparing a response to a Request for Proposal (RFP). The customer currently uses a two-site Hitachi enterprise platform for their SAP HANA database and applications. Dell is proposing a technology refresh using a PowerMax 8500 system, requiring data migration from the existing Hitachi arrays to the new PowerMax V4 arrays.
To validate the existing configuration for migration using the “My Work” portal, which two components, other than hosts and SAN switches, can the Architect verify? (Choose two.)

You have retrieved the manufacturing bin from the factory for your PowerMax system.
Using Desktop SymmWin, which tool would you use to validate the factory bin with the sales order?

A Storage Architect is placing two PowerMax 2500 systems in a customer rack 42U.
Which of the following placements is correct?

What two options are available for excluding data from workload compliance calculations? (Choose two.)

A small financial company uses a PowerMax 2500 system with 3.84 TB drives in a RAID 6 (12+2) configuration with 48 drives. They have max cache configured on two node pairs. They need a capacity upgrade and want to use 15 TB drives in a RAID 5(8+1) configuration.
What is the minimum number of drives that have to be configured?

Due to a technology refresh, the storage for a critical OLTP DB application on a PowerMax 8000 system will be migrated to a new PowerMax 8500 system. The application requires zero downtime, and the hosting team has minimal staff to support the extra work.
What would be the best migration solution to meet the requirements?

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?
