    A. Multi-threaded sequential reads causing random access patterns
    B. Single-threaded sequential reads flooding cache
    C. Multi-threaded random reads degrading per-thread performance
    D. Single-threaded random reads overutilize pre-fetching

  • Question 152:

    A customer has an EMC VNX dedicated to an SQL Server environment. They report performance issues. You notice there is frequent forced flushing on the VNX. What action can they take to correct this without adversely affecting performance?

    A. Disable write caching for all databases
    B. Increase read caching for all databases
    C. Disable write caching for read-only databases
    D. Disable read caching for all databases

  • Question 153:

    A customer has the following virtualized environment:

    Which VAAI feature will address their issue?

    A. Dead Space Reclamation
    B. Thin Provisioning Stun
    C. Hardware Acceleration
    D. Hardware assisted locking

  • Question 156:

    A customer is planning a CIFS DR test on a VNX. They want to ensure that all production users will be able to access data at the target site in the event of a catastrophic failure at the source site. The source site will remain online during this test.

    How can this be accomplished?

    A. Replication switchover from the source site
    B. Replication failover from the source site
    C. Replication switchover from the DR site
    D. Replication failover from the DR site

  • Question 157:

    A customer plans a DR test for their CIFS DR solution using EMC VNX. The customer needs to confirm users will be able to access data at the DR site in the event of a source site disaster. The VNX at the source site will not be shut down during the DR test. The customer asks how they should proceed. What do you advise the customer?

    A. Perform a Replication Switchover operation from the source VNX.
    B. Perform a Replication Switchover operation from the DR site VNX.
    C. Perform a Replication Failover operation from the DR site VNX.
    D. Perform a Replication Failover operation from the source VNX.

  • Question 158:
