EMC E20-885 Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 81:

    Click on the calculator icon in the upper left corner.

    A customer is using an EMC VNX AVM pool populated with RAID 5 (4+1) LUNs to create file systems. The file systems support a pre-press graphics application. Cache analysis of the VNX shows a high level of coalescence and a high

    percentage of dirty pages.

    What is the expected write penalty?

    A. 1.25
    B. 0.80
    C. 2.50
    D. 1.00

  • Question 82:

    A hospital wants to configure a tiered pool on an EMC VNX to support a vSphere ESXi 5.0 environment with fifteen hosts. Which disk layout is supported for a tiered pool?

    A. 4 Flash drives RAID 1/0, 5 SAS RAID 5, 5 NL-SAS RAID 5
    B. 4 Flash drives RAID 1/0, 5 SAS RAID 5, 6 NL-SAS RAID 6
    C. 5 Flash drives RAID 5, 5 SAS RAID 5, 5 NL-SAS RAID 5
    D. 5 Flash drives RAID 1/0, 5 SAS RAID 5, 6 NL-SAS RAID 6

  • Question 83:

    You have been working with a customer of a Unified VNX. The customer is storing a very large number of files in a single file system that originally was 12 TB in size. File level deduplication was turned on for this file system, using fast file compression. This resulted in a compression rate of 33%.

    You expanded the file system 28 days ago. The extra capacity was used immediately to store more files, making the total size 16 TB. You then changed the file deduplication from fast to deep file compression, but kept all other settings at their defaults.

    The Customer has asked you to explain why the compression rate for the file system is now 36%. They had hopes of a compression rate around 45%.

    What can you tell the customer?

    A. Only the new 4 TB of data is compressed, using deep compression.
    B. Deduplication will first take place 30 days after last access of the file.
    C. The maximum size of the file system has been met, so deduplication cannot run on the last 4 TB of files.
    D. The Data Mover is too heavily utilized for the deduplication job to run.

  • Question 84:

    A VNX customer has a production read-intensive Oracle environment that requires immediate access for end-user reporting. Which EMC replication application meets the customer's business requirement?

    A. SnapView Snapshots
    B. MirrorView/S
    C. Replication Manager
    D. MirrorView/A

  • Question 85:

    A customer plans to migrate their virtualized server environment to a new VNX array. They are concerned their storage pool configuration could be compromised by their varied server workload profiles. What vSphere v5.0 feature would you discuss with the customer to address their concern?

    A. Clustered Datastore Affinity
    B. Raw Device Mapping
    C. Native Multipathing
    D. PowerPath/VE

  • Question 86:

    A customer is migrating an Oracle database to a new EMC VNX. The database consists of random, small I/O workloads with high transaction rates. What RAID type should be used for the LUN containing the data files in order to prevent I/O bottlenecks during peak load?

    A. RAID 6
    B. RAID 3
    C. RAID 1/0
    D. RAID 5

  • Question 87:

    When creating a clone, what size must the clone be when compared to the source LUN?

    A. Two times the size of the source LUN
    B. The same size of the source LUN
    C. Half the size of the source LUN
    D. Four times the size of the source LUN

  • Question 88:

    A customer recently purchased an EMC VNX to be connected to four ESXi 5.0 hosts via FC. Five of the associated VMs (virtual machines) are running SQL Server 2008 R2. To avoid contention, the customer wants the VM's database and log drives on separate datastores. Which ESXi 5.0 feature would satisfy this requirement?

    A. Network interface card teaming
    B. Virtual Machine Anti-Affinity
    C. Raw Device Mappings
    D. VMDK Affinity

  • Question 89:

    A customer is running a cluster of ESX v4.x servers accessing a VNX LUN with a very large number of virtual machines. They are experiencing intermittent transaction acknowledgement delays. What would you recommend to the customer to lessen these delays?

    A. Upgrade to VMFS-5 and utilize hardware assisted locking
    B. Upgrade to vSphere 5 and utilize Block Zeroing
    C. Upgrade to VMFS-5 and utilize Full Copy
    D. Upgrade to vSphere 5 and utilize Thin Provisioning Stun

  • Question 90:

    A customer has three production hosts connected to a VNX. Each host has two 150 GB LUNs in the same RAID 5 (4+1) RAID group. Replication Manager is configured to take SnapView snapshots of the production host LUNs for local

    backups using a dedicated backup host. The RLP (reserved LUN pool) is configured on the same RAID group as the production host LUNs. The customer reports there are performance slowdowns during backups.

    What is the best solution?

    A. Stop the snapshots, remove the LUNs from the RLP, create a new RAID 5 (4+1) group and new LUNs, and add the new LUNs to the RLP.
    B. Expand the source LUN RAID group to a RAID 5 (8+1) RAID group, and expand the sizes of the reserved LUNs to twice their original value.
    C. Create a new RAID 5 (4+1) RAID group, create new LUNs on the RAID group, and perform a LUN migration on the RLP LUNs to the new RAID group.
    D. Stop the snapshots, create a new RAID 1/0 (2+2) RAID group, create new LUNs on the new RAID group, and migrate the RLP to the new LUNs.
