Question 3

A storage administrator has been tasked with encapsulating 100 LUNs across five Oracle servers from an existing array to a VPLEX Metro cluster. The administrator can obtain the same outrage window for all five servers and wand wants to streamline as much of the encapsulation process possible. What can the administrator use to help achieve this task?

A) SolVe Desktop utility
B) VIAS Provisioning Wizard
C) Claim Storage Wizard
D) storage-tool compose

Answer 3

storage-tool compose

Question 4

How many copies can RecoverPoint maintain in a MetroPoint topology?

A) 4
B) 5
C) 6
D) 8

Question 5

A company has deployed a VPLEX Metro protecting two applications without Cluster Witness: -App1 distributed virtual volumes are added to CG1, which has detach-rule set cluster-1 as winner -App2 distributed virtual volumes are added to CG2, which has detach-rule set cluster-2 as winner What should be the consequence if there is a WAN COM failure for an extended period?

A) I/O for CG1 is suspended at cluster -1; I/O is serviced at cluster-2I/O for CG2 is serviced at cluster -1; I/O is suspended at cluster-2
B) I/O for CG1 is suspended at cluster -1; I/O is serviced at cluster-2I/O for CG2 is serviced at cluster -2; I/O is suspended at cluster-1
C) I/O for CG1 is detached at cluster -1; I/O is serviced at cluster-2I/O for CG2 is detached at cluster -2; I/O is serviced at cluster-1
D) I/O for CG1 is serviced at cluster -1; I/O is suspended at cluster-2I/O is serviced for CG2 at cluster -2; I/O is suspended at cluster-1

Question 6

What are characteristics of a storage view?

A) An initiator can be in multiple storage viewsVPLEX FE port can only be in one storage viewEach initiator and FE port pair can only be in one storage view
B) An initiator can only be in one storage viewVPLEX FE port can be in multiple storage viewsEach initiator and FE port pair can be in different storage views
C) An initiator can only be in multiple storage viewVPLEX FE port can be in multiple storage viewsEach initiator and FE port pair must be in different storage views
D) An initiator can be in multiple storage viewsVPLEX FE port can be in multiple storage viewsEach initiator and FE port pair can only be in one storage view

Question 7

A service provider has implemented a VPLEX Metro cluster without VPLEX Witness and has implemented a static rule set. The static rule set has been set to "cluster-2 detaches". A Microsoft Windows host in the Cluster-1 data center uses a distributed volume. However, the WAN COM fails. What is the result of this failure?

A) 1. VPLEX suspends I/O to all distributed devices on both clusters2. VPLEX starts a delay timer3. If connectivity is not restored within the timer expiration period, VPLEX resumes I/O on Cluster-2 and keeps I/O suspended on Cluster-1.
B) 1. VPLEX starts a delay timer2. VPLEX suspends I/O to all distributed devices on both clusters3. If connectivity is not restored within the timer expiration period, VPLEX resumes I/O on Cluster-1 and keeps I/O suspended on Cluster-2.
C) 1. VPLEX suspends I/O to all distributed devices on both clusters2.VPLEX starts a delay timer3. If connectivity is not restored within the timer expiration period, VPLEX resumes I/O on Cluster-1 and keeps I/O suspended on Cluster-2.
D) 1. VPLEX starts a delay timer2. VPLEX suspends I/O to all distributed devices on both clusters3. If connectivity is not restored within the timer expiration period, VPLEX resumes I/O on Cluster-2 and keeps I/O suspended on Cluster-1.

Question 8

What is a key VPLEX component that enables an active-active data center?

A) Distributed storage views
B) Distributed virtual volumes
C) Distributed extents
D) Distributed storage volumes
