Refer to the scenario. A large publicly-traded motion picture exhibitor that is a leader in digital and 3D cinema deployments operates 233 theaters and more than 2,200 screens in small to mid-sized communities in 35 states around the United States. They rely on MS Exchange Server 2010 for email. MS SQL Server 2010 for analyzing data about movies and theater-goers, and MS Excel 2010 for crunching numbers.
The company runs nightly incremental backups and a full weekly backup that consists of close to 7 TB of data which takes up 72 hours to complete. The quarterly backups add an additional 7 TB of data. Tapes are inventoried and transported from the main data center to the disaster recovery site 150 miles away. The process of transporting tape cartridges to and from the Disaster Recovery site requires hours of daily work.
The company currently relies on an aging robotic tape library and a process that takes the nightly backup tapes offsite every morning. Additionally, the company keeps an inventory, and if a restore is necessary they have to retrieve the tapes from the DR site and transport them to the main data center site They have a 7 year data retention plan, and the tapes are expensive and not always reliable. Given the company's current system, if a full weekly backup fails over a weekend, the re-run could take up to 10 hours, even if just one job failed.
The company has deployed a virtualized server infrastructure which runs VMware vSphere 5 on HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosures and BL460c servers interconnected with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Modules as well as several HP ProLiant DL380 servers.

Match the architecture type with the correct storage solution.
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Explanation
Explanation: Scale-up typically refers to architectures that use a single, fixed resource controller for all processing. To add capacity, you attach disk-shelves up to the maximum for which the controller is rated. Scale-out architecture is a component of converged storage. Scale-out storage is the combination of modular computers and standardized storage components to create federated storage pools. Monolithic storage architectures have been characterized as large storage arrays that require a large upfront investment and resources. Storage GridA storage architecture that may have a grid-like architecture and provides interfaces to this architecture in a standardized fashion to allow grid management facilities to configure, provision, and otherwise define a horizontally scalable storage service.
Question 14
Multiple choice
Refer to the scenario. A university provides liberal arts training to 2,500 students in 68 classrooms and provides a growing suite of IT services that encompass dorm rooms and classrooms. All 2,500 students are provisioned an HP EliteBook Tablet PC to access these services. Students use these tablet PCs for taking notes, handling documents, communicating with each other and with instructors, and participating in distance-education classes. Additionally, by using their tablet PCs as thin clients, science and engineering students leverage virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and HP Remote Graphics Software to access applications that run on high-powered HP blade servers. All 68 classrooms are multi-media equipped, enabling instructors to record lectures for the college s closed circuit TV system.
The university has implemented enterprise content management (ECM) applications, including Microsoft SharePoint for document imaging and workflow for staff and faculty, as well as for external accrediting bodies.
Additionally, a recent initiative to implement voice-over-IP telephone communications on campus has started.
The compute environment is based on VMware vSphere using HP BL460c and BL680c G7 server blades in c7000 enclosures within two data centers. The university needs to develop computing solutions to address the following problems and current initiatives: - The current backup-to-tape environment creates downtime for backups of 6 to 12 hours. - Each incoming class of 600 floods the registration system within the first hours after it opens. The server and network gridlock caused by this high workload prolongs the registration process by as much as one hour per student. - Proof of concept is necessary for distance education involving large volumes of video and major bandwidth requirements. - Top tier data must be replicated between two data centers over a 10 Gbps network Disaster recovery has a recovery time objective (RTO) of 120 minutes and network utilization should be minimized. - Seven TB of first tier data needs to be migrated from the current fibre channel storage solution to nearline storage. - Second tier data requires deployment of a separate storage solution. The university's top four IT improvements goals are as follows: - Provide a robust replication capability between data centers. - Reduce server downtime with faster backups. - Retain more backup data in smaller disk space. - Increase efficiency, reliability, and ease of system administration. Moreover the college's top three business benefit goals are as follows: - Reduce student registration time. - Increase number of servers while minimizing the need for additional staff to support them. - Utilize IT resources and staff as efficiently as possible. The company has asked that you create multiple solution proposals and prioritize one when you return for a presentation. In order to meet the technical requirements and solve some of the current problems that the customer is facing you propose a 4-node HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage array with an additional SSD tier.
Which HP best practices should you follow? (Select two.)
A
Availability = Cage-level
B
Availability = Magazine-level
C
SSD CPG set size of 3+1
D
SSD CPG set size of 2+1
E
Growth increment = 4GB
Reveal answer detailsClose answer details
Correct answersA, C
Explanation
Explanation: Best practice: SSD CPGs should be of the RAID 5 type with a "Set size" of 3+1 by default. This will bring the best performance/capacity ratio. If maximum performance is required, use RAID 1. Best practice: The growth increment should be set to the minimum value, which is 8 GB per node pair. On 2-node systems, set the value to 8 GB, on 4-node systems to 16 GB, on 6-node systems to 24 GB, and on 8-node systems to 32 GB.
In order to set the CPG growth increment to a lower value than the default, the "Show advanced option" box must be checked. Best practice: Availability should be left to "Cage-level" availability (the default option) if the system's configuration allows for it. If not, it should be set to "Magazine-level" availability. This can be changed using the "Advanced options" checkbox of the StoreServ Management Console.

QUESTION 18
A leading automotive technology company wants to increase the performance and capacity of the storage infrastructure that supports the design and manufacture of its line of Formula 1 racing cars. The company is also interested in safe-guarding its mission-critical data and eliminating the threat of business disruption. Due to the massive engineering and technical effort required to create a new race car design and to enable regular delivery of upgraded parts to the race track while maintaining a competitive edge, it is necessary to have advanced applications running on a high-performance IT infrastructure. The company operates out of two data centers. The centers support a Plant Lifecycle Management database, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, and various trackside systems to set up the race car and aid race strategy. In addition, the centers run applications for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) packages. The company has deployed Oracle and SQL databases, VMware virtual machines, email, and all other applications on an HP 6400 Enterprise virtual Array (EVA). The EVAs automatically replicate between the two data centers to guard against failure. The EVAs are aging, applications are more sophisticated, data volumes have grown exponentially, and bottlenecks in the storage system are now having a significant effect on the performance of the simulation and analysis tools that are vital to the company's competitive position. The data storage problem has reached a point where the company is forced to store primary data at the secondary site causing the loss of their disaster recovery capability.
The company's top five IT Improvement goo's are: - Reduce complaints about storage system availability. - increase support for sophisticated design and manufacturing applications. - Provide a robust replication capability between data centers. - increase storage utilization while deploying additional capacity. - Simplify operations during peak workloads. Moreover, the company's top three business benefit goals are: - Ensure rapid data retrieval to aid in quick decision making. - Protect mission-critical data and ensure business continuity. - Recover costs from existing infrastructure, thus providing increased IT funds for additional projects.
You are planning to use HP StoreOnce Backup Systems and HP StoreOnce Catalyst to replicate data to the primary data center after a Formula 1 race and then to the secondary data center.
Which information is relevant to size this solution component? (Select two.)
A.
which type of application data is used at the Formula 1 race track
B.
how many users will access the data during the weekend
C.
how much data has changed during a race weekend
D.
which online storage is used at the race track and data center
E.
which hypervisor is used on the servers at the race track
Correct Answer: BC
QUESTION 19
Your customer is migrating to VMware vSphere 5. Your solution includes HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage with licenses for Remote Copy and Adaptive Optimization. The customer is interested in implementing VMware Storage DRS and asks if there are any interoperability concerns with your solution.
What should you recommend to ensure that VMware Storage DRS coexists with your solution?
A.
VMware Storage DRS should be configured for capacity-based decisions
B.
HP 3PAR Security Software Suite must be added to the solution
C.
HP 3PAR Remote Copy must be configured for synchronous replication.
D.
VMware Storage DRS should be set up in manual mode with I/O metric enabled.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation: VMware Storage DRS provides both initial and ongoing placement recommendations of virtual machine and virtual disk drives based on capacity and I/O workloads. http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vsphere-storage-drs-interoperability.pdf Best practice: Do not mix Adaptive Optimization with any other application or process that moves data on a LUN or between LUNs. Any applications or processes that move data on a LUN or between LUNs, such as VMware Storage DRS, should be disabled, as they might conflict with each other. Only Adaptive Optimization, being the lowest level (storage level), should be used.
