A storage architect is designing a PowerMax solution. The architect must ensure that the Unisphere server is not directly connected to the arrays.
Which type of Unisphere for PowerMax deployment will achieve the design requirements?

A storage administrator has mounted a snapshot of an existing datastore to the ESXi server and decided to keep its existing signature. What action is prevented by keeping the existing signature?

A very small data center is being deployed at a service provider site. New 32 GB FC switches to support Open Systems hosts have been purchased and installed in the data center. Two of the tenants for data storage are from competing small businesses. Data storage for each tenant is expected to be a maximum of 500 TB. Because tenants are from competing companies, the service provider wants to be able to provide data storage from different arrays to each tenant to guarantee separation of data and information.
Which array is recommended to support these requirements, while occupying the least amount of space in the new data center?

A data migration is being planned from a Hitachi to a PowerMax using Open Replicator. Which flag is used to protect against SAN failure?

How do Copy mode linked targets and NoCopy mode linked targets behave when a SnapVX unlink operation disassociates the linked target?

Which storage object must be created in Unisphere for PowerMax so that vCenter can automatically provision datastores to ESXi hosts?

A customer is planning to implement SRDF/Metro, using the default Device Bias method. What is a consideration?

A storage administrator is unable to terminate the TimeFinder SnapVX snapshot. What action should be performed by the administrator?

A storage architect is planning a Unisphere upgrade. Which password is required for the upgrade?

What provides a quick representation of the performance metrics of a Storage Group and details the relationship between it and the associated front-end director and ports?

A PowerMax Storage Group has Host I/O limits set at 10000 IOPS. The Port Group contains four ports across different directors. The Dynamic Distribution is set to OnFailure.
What is the maximum IOPS the Storage Group can achieve in the event a switch port being used by one of the director ports fails but the director remains online?

A storage administrator is provisioning storage on a PowerMax 2000 array. The application requires fast reads and the highest possible data protection.
Which RAID level should be recommended?

An architect uses the following command to collect data from a HP-UX host when designing a solution in BCSD: sar –d –b interval count >> hostname.sar.date.txt
What does the –b flag in the command represent?

A customer is planning to purchase a PowerMax 8000 system with the zEssentials software package. The environment needs to have the ability to rapidly recover from large scale logical corruption using TimeFinder SnapVX.
Which optional software should be recommended to fulfill the requirement?

Which deduplication methods are supported for VMAX All Flash?

Which SRDF/A resiliency feature allows sessions to remain active during transient link outages?

Which view of the Unisphere for PowerMax user interface can an architect go to for a heatmap?

What is required before a port can be disassociated from an FA emulation on a PowerMax?

What is the maximum number of front-end ports that can be configured on a PowerMax 8000?

DRAG DROP -
Match each SRDF command with its function.

What is a Composite Group in BCSD?

The SecurityAdmin for Unisphere wants to create a new user that will perform all management (active or control) operations on a storage system and be able to modify GNS group definitions in addition to all Monitor operations. The user will not be able to create or delete user accounts.
What role needs to be assigned to the new user?

A PowerMax parent Storage Group (SG) contains two child SGs: SG1 and SG2. What is a valid Host I/O limit setting for this configuration?
