EMC EMC Specialist E20-018 Questions & Answers

  • Question 71:

    You are meeting with the CIO to discuss your VDC design. They question the amount of capital that is being invested in iSCSI adapters. They state that, because of the number of adapters required, it is more cost-effective to purchase 10 Gigabit Ethernet NICs and use the integrated hypervisor software stack.

    What effect will this have on the hypervisors?

    A. Increased CPU load

    B. Increased amount of I/O

    C. Decreased amount of I/O

    D. Decreased CPU load

  • Question 72:

    As part of a VDC design, you configured a number of virtual machine OS clusters. Each cluster must have a non-routable network to accommodate system heartbeats. However, some of the clusters house sensitive data that should not be accessible by any other cluster. For fault tolerance purposes, the cluster nodes will never be hosted on the same hypervisor.

    How should you instruct the administrator to configure the Private VLANs?

    A. Configure the Primary and Community VLANs on both the hypervisor virtual switches and access layer switches.

    B. Configure the Primary and Community VLANs on the hypervisor virtual switches.

    C. Configure the Primary and Isolated VLANs on both the hypervisor virtual switches and access layer switches.

    D. Configure the Primary and Isolated VLANs on the hypervisor virtual switches.

  • Question 73:

    Which is an example of vertically scaling a virtual application?

    A. Cluster two database virtual servers on a single physical server

    B. Migrate a database virtual server to a higher-capacity physical server

    C. Migrate a database virtual server to a less-utilized physical server

    D. Cluster two database virtual servers across two physical servers

  • Question 74:

    A load balancing/firewall application is purchased and downloaded from a vendor site. It is prepackaged to run on a specific hypervisor. The administrator must import it into the VDC environment then perform minimal configuration tasks. Once installed, this application will solve a specific business problem for the organization.

    What is this an example of?

    A. A virtual appliance

    B. A web application

    C. A legacy application

    D. A thin appliance

  • Question 75:

    A company intends to convert their VDC to IaaS. To do this they will have to implement several new

    technologies and create new functions for service operations and service management. The company previously claimed to be service oriented because they had a service desk in IT to provide support.

    What is

    required for a successful transition to IaaS?

    A. A chargeback/showback method for showing value back to the business

    B. ITIL-based, standardized service templates

    C. An expanded help desk that includes more comprehensive reporting

    D. Service level agreements with the lines of business

  • Question 76:

    How can a hypervisor virtual switch increase the efficiency of a physical network?

    A. By consolidating ports into the physical network

    B. By reducing the amount of data transmitted to the physical network

    C. Through port aggregation to isolate VMs to another VLAN

    D. By increasing the bandwidth of the physical network

  • Question 77:

    You are using virtual (thin) provisioning to reduce the amount of physical storage that is initially required for an implementation.

    On the storage array, you configure a pool that contains 20 TB of physical storage and then define several LUNs that total 100 TB. These LUNs are presented to several hypervisor clusters. Virtual Machines are subsequently created using a thick format for the virtual hard disks.

    What is the maximum capacity that can be allocated for VM hard disks in this configuration?

    A. 20 TB

    B. 100 TB

    C. 120 TB

    D. 2000 TB

  • Question 78:

    What would you identify as a business application in applying IT as a Service to IT processions?

    A. Defined workflow request processes

    B. Funded as a cost center

    C. Virtual data center best practices

    D. SLA-driven management

  • Question 79:

    A company recently completed the design for their VDC, which will enable an eventual migration to cloud. Why might the company want to build a cloud-based service?

    A. Lines of business can self provision resources

    B. Lines of business can more easily reorganize

    C. Lines of business obtain what they want from IT

    D. Service levels are guaranteed to improve

  • Question 80:

    Which represent key legal contracts for a service provider?

    A. Service level agreement, terms of service, termination agreement

    B. Service level agreement, terms of service, enterprise license agreement

    C. End user license agreement, termination agreement, service level agreement

    D. End user license agreement, termination agreement, performance guarantee
