QuestionQ1

System Pre-Installation and Installation

A customer needs to upgrade a VSP 5500 to a VSP 5600.

Which two actions are necessary for this upgrade?

Choose two
Explanation

A VSP 5500-to-VSP 5600 data-in-place upgrade uses controller type-change replacement, so all controller boards are replaced. The procedure also requires replacement of the VSP 5500 DKC power supplies with VSP 5600 power supplies. CPUs and DIMMs are not independently replaced; the DIMMs are transferred to the new controller boards.

QuestionQ2

On a VSP 5100, a drive in a RAID5 Parity Group has failed and has been blocked by the microcode.

As a result, which process is automatically started?

Explanation

Correction Copy automatically recovers data to a spare disk when a drive is blocked. In a RAID5 parity group, the system reconstructs the failed drive’s data from the remaining drives and parity information as part of that recovery operation.
