A financial services company is implementing a new SRDF/Metro active-active solution between two data centers for a mission-critical Oracle database. During user acceptance testing, the network team reports intermittent latency spikes on the inter-data center links. The storage administrator needs to validate the SRDF link health and identify the cause of the latency without disrupting the SRDF/Metro session. Which SYMCLI command should be used to get a real-time, detailed performance snapshot of the SRDF links?

A storage administrator is provisioning a new Storage Group on a PowerMax 8000 for a high-performance data analytics cluster. The requirement is to ensure the workload receives the highest possible priority for I/O operations and the lowest possible response times, even during periods of array contention. Which Service Level should be assigned to this Storage Group to meet this strict requirement?

During a Non-Disruptive Migration (NDM) from a VMAX3 to a PowerMax 2000, the migration session enters a 'Cutover_Ready' state. The administrator needs to perform the final cutover during a scheduled maintenance window using SYMCLI. What is the correct sequence of high-level actions to complete the migration?

An administrator is managing a PowerMax array using a newly deployed Solutions Enabler Virtual Appliance (SEVA). They are unable to run any SYMCLI commands against the array. They have verified network connectivity between SEVA and the array's management IP. Which of the following are the MOST likely causes for this issue? (Select TWO)

A database team requires multiple, point-in-time, space-efficient copies of their production database LUNs for daily reporting. The process involves creating a snapshot, linking it to several different reporting servers, and then terminating the links and the snapshot at the end of the day. The administrator decides to use TimeFinder SnapVX. Which statement accurately describes the relationship between snapshots and linked targets in SnapVX?

True or False: In a PowerMax array, when provisioning storage for a VMware environment using vVols, Storage Policy-Based Management (SPBM) in vSphere directly leverages the array's native Service Levels (e.g., Diamond, Platinum) to enforce performance and data services.

An administrator is tasked with monitoring Storage Group (SG) compliance on a PowerMax array using Unisphere. They notice that an SG associated with a 'Gold' Service Level is frequently flagged as 'Marginal'. What is the most likely reason for an SG to be in a 'Marginal' state?

A new Unisphere for PowerMax instance has been deployed to manage three separate VMAX All Flash arrays. The security team requires that a new junior administrator should only be able to view performance metrics and storage configurations but not make any changes. Which built-in Unisphere role should be assigned to this user?

A DevOps team wants to automate the refresh of a QA environment from production data on a nightly basis using SnapVX and SYMCLI scripting. The process requires creating a new snapshot of the production Storage Group, terminating the previous day's link to the QA Storage Group, and establishing a new link from the new snapshot to the QA Storage Group. Which SYMCLI command is used to create the new point-in-time snapshot of the production Storage Group?

An administrator is using the Workload Planning tool in Unisphere for PowerMax to determine the impact of migrating a large database from a competitor's array. They have collected performance data from the source array and imported it into Unisphere. What is the primary output of the Workload Planning tool in this scenario?
