A financial services company is deploying a new OLTP database on a PowerMax 8500. The primary requirement is a consistent sub-500 microsecond read response time under heavy load. The database will have a mix of small block random reads and writes. The storage administrator has been asked to provision storage that strictly adheres to this performance requirement. Which Service Level Objective (SLO) is the most appropriate choice to guarantee this level of performance?
An administrator is managing a critical application's disaster recovery solution using SRDF/A. During a routine health check, they notice that the RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is consistently exceeding the business requirement of 15 seconds. Analysis of the SRDF/A session in Unisphere reveals a high number of cycles in the transmit cycle queue and elevated cache utilization on the R1 side. Which two actions would be most effective in resolving this RPO compliance issue? (Select TWO)
A Non-Disruptive Migration (NDM) session from a VMAX3 to a PowerMax 2500 has been running for several hours, but the percent synchronized is progressing much slower than anticipated. The source array hosts a high-transaction database. The storage administrator has verified that the array-to-array connectivity has ample bandwidth. Which factor is the most likely cause for the slow synchronization speed?
True or False: A TimeFinder SnapVX clone initially consumes the same amount of SRP capacity as a SnapVX snapshot.
An administrator needs to configure Solutions Enabler on a dedicated management server that will manage multiple PowerMax arrays in a secure data center. The security policy mandates that all management traffic be encrypted and that access be controlled through a centralized authentication mechanism. Which Solutions Enabler daemon is essential for enforcing this centralized authentication policy?
A storage administrator is analyzing a performance chart in Unisphere for PowerMax for a Storage Group associated with a VMware ESXi cluster. The chart shows consistently high read latency ( >2ms ) but very low write latency ( <0.5ms ). The overall array performance is well within normal limits. What is the most likely cause of this specific performance pattern?
A hospital is deploying a new VMware vSphere environment using PowerMax vVols for its critical patient records application. A key requirement is to simplify storage management for the virtualization team by aligning storage capabilities with VM policies. Which PowerMax and VMware components are essential for enabling Storage Policy-Based Management (SPBM) with vVols?
To perform an Open-Minimally Disruptive Migration (O-MDM) using SYMCLI, the administrator must first create a migration session. Which SYMCLI command is used to initiate this session? symdm -sid create -name -src_ld -tgt_ld -tgt_sid -precopy -diff -noprompt In the command above, what does the `-precopy` option signify?
A retail company uses a three-site disaster recovery topology with SRDF/Star. Site A is the primary production site, replicating synchronously to Site B (bunker) and asynchronously to Site C (remote DR). During a disaster, Site A is completely lost. The business decides to failover to the remote DR site (Site C). What is the correct high-level sequence of operations to failover production to Site C and re-establish protection to Site B?
An administrator creates a new Masking View in Unisphere for PowerMax to grant a new host cluster access to storage. The view contains the correct Initiator Group (IG), Storage Group (SG), but they made a mistake and selected the wrong Port Group (PG). What is the most efficient way to correct this mistake?
