A solutions architect is designing a PowerMax 8500 solution for a financial institution. During the PowerSizer analysis, the output summary indicates a 90% backend director utilization for a proposed workload. However, upon reviewing the manufacturing bin file, the architect notices that the configuration includes fewer backend slices than recommended by the PowerSizer tool for that utilization level. What is the most critical risk associated with this discrepancy?
A healthcare organization is planning to migrate its electronic health record (EHR) database from a VMAX3 array to a new PowerMax 2500. The migration must occur with zero downtime for the application hosts. Additionally, they need to migrate a separate, less critical application from a third-party array to the same PowerMax 2500 during the same maintenance window, with minimal disruption. Which combination of migration technologies should be used?
A global logistics company requires a three-site disaster recovery solution for its critical order processing application running on PowerMax. Site A is the primary production site. Site B is a synchronous disaster recovery site located 75 km away. Site C is an asynchronous disaster recovery site located 2000 km away. The requirement is to maintain zero data loss failover capability to Site B, while also protecting against a regional disaster by having a copy at Site C. Which SRDF topology meets all these requirements?
During the design of a PowerMax File solution using SDNAS, an administrator needs to provide immediate, space-efficient, writable copies of a production file system for multiple development teams. Each team needs an independent environment to work in. What PowerMax File feature should be used to achieve this?
A storage administrator is installing Solutions Enabler 10 on a Linux host to manage a PowerMax array. After the installation, SYMCLI commands fail to connect to the array. The administrator needs to verify that the core daemons responsible for communication and request handling are running. Which TWO daemons are essential for this basic functionality? (Select TWO)
A systems engineer is reviewing the hardware components of a new PowerMax 8500. The engineer needs to identify the component responsible for handling all I/O processing, running the PowerMaxOS, and managing both front-end and back-end connectivity. What is this core component called?
When using TimeFinder SnapVX, a single source volume can have up to 1024 snapshots, each belonging to a specific generation. True or False: A user can directly link a target device to a snapshot from any of the 1024 available generations at any time.
**Case Study:** A retail company is deploying a new PowerMax 8500 array. Their primary management requirement is to have a highly available, centralized management platform that can manage multiple PowerMax and VMAX All Flash arrays located in different data centers. The security team mandates that the management servers must be isolated on a dedicated management network and cannot run on the storage array's service processors. The operations team requires a solution that is easy to deploy and maintain, preferably as a pre-packaged virtual appliance. They also need the ability to perform workload planning and analyze performance headroom to forecast future storage needs. The solution must provide a single pane of glass for all administrative tasks. Which Unisphere for PowerMax deployment option should the solution designer recommend to meet all the company's requirements?
A university is planning a major software upgrade for its PowerMax 2500, moving to the latest PowerMaxOS 10 release. The storage team needs to understand the formal process. According to Dell's guidelines, what is the correct sequence of steps for a standard software upgrade?
When designing a PowerMax file solution, what is the fundamental architectural difference between eNAS and SDNAS?
