Question 9

You are discussing a HPE 3PAR Remote Copy solution with your customer. The customer has had a bad experience in their current non-HPE replication solution. Currently the source and target volume properties on the array must be identical on both sides and cannot be changed without re-creating the volumes. What should you explain to the customer?

Accepted Answer

The answer of You are discussing a HPE 3PAR Remote...

Question 10

You completed the HPE Nimble storage replication partnership in a customer environment. When you test the network connection from the primary partner to the secondary partner, the test fails; when you test the connection from the secondary to the primary partner, the test is successful. What is the most likely cause of the failure?

Accepted Answer

The most likely cause of the failure is that the secondary partner name is not configured properly, which would prevent the primary partner from successfully connecting to the secondary partner.

Question 11

An HPE Nimble customer needs to consolidate storage and scale performance. They are looking to purchase additional hardware to meet these requirements. What is the best solution to offer this customer?

Accepted Answer

Question 12

A customer needs to analyze performance and capacity of their storage environment. Their environment consists of HPE 3PAR, EMC VNX, and Pure Systems. Which tool should you use to begin your assessment of their environment?

Accepted Answer

NinjaCrawler is a tool used for assessing multi-vendor storage environments, including HPE 3PAR, EMC VNX, and Pure Systems.

Question 13

Refer to the exhibit.  A customer is planning a new compute cluster. They require business continuity, and they need automatic transparent failover between sites with an RPO of 0. You propose HPE 3PAR 9450 arrays at each site. The displayed Bill of Materials (BOM) shows the hardware and software components for one site. What must be added to the BOM at each site to build the solution?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Refer to the exhibit.  A customer...

Question 14

A customer has two HPE Nimble arrays that are replication partners. The replication schedule is set to every hour. After replication completed at 1:00pm, the array at the primary site suffers a power failure. Applications were failed over successfully by the administrators, and production continued on the secondary site array as designed. At 3:00pm, the power was restored to the primary site array. What does the administrator need to do first to restore services in the primary site?

Accepted Answer

The administrator needs to perform a handover from the secondary array to the primary array to restore services at the primary site. This action will reverse the roles of the arrays, making the primary array the active one again.

Question 15

You have chosen to utilize HPE 3PAR synchronous replication in order to meet the customer stated requirement of RPO=0. What is a key consideration you need to explain to the customer?

Accepted Answer

Synchronous replication requires that data is written to both the primary and backup storage before acknowledging the write to the host, which can increase write latencies.

Question 16

A customer needs to new storage solution, including replication. The replication solution does not need to provide an RTO or RPO of zero. The customer suffers from severe VM sprawl and has experienced unidentified storage service-level degradations. What should you point out during your presentation of the solution?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A customer needs to new storage solution,...

Question 17

A customer has an HPE Nimble Storage array. They plan to add a second HPE Nimble Storage array to their existing group. What is the expected write behavior to a volume once the new array is added to the same pool as the existing array?

Accepted Answer

When a new array is added to the same pool, data will be written to the new array until it is the same percent full as the original array, balancing the storage usage.

Question 18

A customer needs to replicate the data on their HPE 3PAR arrays between their datacenters. Their datacenters are 250km apart. The link between the sites has an RTO of 100 ms, and they have an RPO of 3 minutes. Which replication method should you recommend to meet the customer needs?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A customer needs to replicate the data...

Question 19

A customer is experiencing high utilization on their VMware ESXi server NICs when they backup virtual machines stored on an HPE 3PAR 8200. Which technology is available on a StoreOnce VSA to reduce the network utilization?

Accepted Answer

Catalyst target-side deduplication reduces network utilization by performing deduplication at the target, minimizing the amount of data that needs to be transferred over the network.

Question 20

A customer has two HPE Nimble arrays that are replication partners. The customer suffers a complete outage on the source array. What does the administrator need to do to make the most recent snapshot available?
