Answer : A Topic 9, Scenario 34 Your customer has started having problems backing up data and meeting SLA requirements. These problems are partly due to cutbacks in staff and partly due to having to manage more data. The customer is asking EMC for advice and direction regarding a new or improved backup solution. The customer has a large Oracle environment and multiple ESX servers with numerous VMs. Symmetrix VMAX serves as the primary storage for the Oracle environment. Oracle has an extremely high transaction rate with a low data retention requirement of one week. An EMC VNX serves as the primary storage for the VMware environment, which has a more typical retention rate of three to six months. Currently, the customer uses NetWorker with multiple storage nodes and backs up to a physical tape library with multiple LTO-4 tape drives.
You perform an analysis of the Oracle environment and find four Oracle servers. One
NetWorker storage node server has a locally attached FC tape library with six LTO-2 drives.
Full backups are performed each night to quickly recover the databases in the event of a failure. Each night, the 12-hour backup window for Windows systems fails to be met. As a result, users experience noticeable system delays in the morning.
Which cost-efficient strategy allows the backups to complete on time and without any impact to the users?
Answer : A
Your customer continues to aggressively deploy VMs instead of physical servers. With the improved utilization of the ESX servers, backups are starting to extend beyond the backup windows. Additionally, the customer complains about deploying agents to each guest.
What should the customer do to improve the backup environment?
Answer : A
What is the most appropriate backup target for your customer's Oracle environment?
Answer : A
You have suggested NetWorker plus multiple storage nodes for your customer's Oracle environment, and an Avamar component for their VMware environment. In addition, you have recommended that they replace the tape library with a different backup target.
What should you suggest that the customer use to manage these different components and handle the 1,000 backup jobs that they run?
A. Data Protection Advisor -
B. SAN Manager -
C. EMC Ionix ControlCenter -
D. EMC Backup Advisor -
Answer : A Topic 10, Scenario 36 Your customer has a traditional LAN-based NetWorker backup infrastructure. They recently acquired another company with an extensive network-based collaborative software design infrastructure. The NAS devices used in the acquired company are all EMC Celerra arrays with CLARiiON and Symmetrix back-ends. The CLARiiON arrays are currently at 60% of total capacity. The Symmetrix arrays are currently at 95% of total capacity. Upon integration of the two environments, the customer discovers that backups are no longer being completed within the allotted backup window. This has caused network congestion and is seriously impacting the customer's software design production environment. EMC Celerra will be retained as the NAS platform for the customer's environment. The customer requires retention of the software development versions onsite for three weeks. Which solution would you advise the customer to implement to lower the impact of operational backups, while allowing for rapid recovery of software version builds? A. Deploy a replicated EMC Centera system to store software development versions with a retention period of three weeks B. Add a new physical TLU to the primary Data Mover and use the internal Celerra backup command to save the data to the new TLU with a retention period of three weeks C. Deploy the Network Data Management Protocol for NAS data backups with a retention period of three weeks D. Deploy the Network Data Management Protocol for NAS data backups with Volume Based Backup (VBB) enabled A
The customer's software design environment must be able to quickly restore individual file versions for design modifications and versioning. The customer does not have any available budget for additional hardware purchases at present.
Which solution would you recommend so the customer can address their current backup environment concerns?
Answer : A
The customer's software design environment consists of several very large file systems that contain tens of millions of small files.
Which solution would you recommend to address this backup environment?
A. Celerra Volume Based Backup -
B. Celerra PAX backup -
C. Celerra VCB backup -
D. CASBAR format -
Answer : A Topic 11, Scenario 37 A customer integrated several EMC Celerra NAS devices into their Microsoft Windows environment for a CIFS home directory and general-purpose file data repository. The Celerra CIFS servers were initially configured without specifying a dedicated interface or an external usermapper environment. Utilization on the NAS devices has increased. A remote disaster recovery site that will support replication of both the data and the CIFS server environment is required.
The customer does not currently have the power, cooling, and physical floor space to accommodate any additional hardware at their production site.
Which sequence of steps would you recommend at the remote site to support remote disaster recovery?
Answer : A
The customer enabled deduplication on a large file system and noticed performance was impacted during normal business hours. The customers scan interval was set to 4 days.
You recommended to the customer that the scan interval process be set to the default value.
What is the default value?
Answer : A
As part of the deployment for replication, the customer defines a strategy to virtualize the physical Windows servers.
Which tools must be used to support an automated failover solution for the environment?
Answer : A
The customer decides to migrate an existing Microsoft Exchange 2003 cluster to a virtualized deployment of Exchange 2007. The Exchange 2007 environment deployment plan includes using network storage with replication for disaster recovery.
Which solution fully supports the Exchange deployment?
A. Build the Exchange 2007 environment in VMware vSphere using NFS mounted file systems and replicate the file systems using Celerra Replicator
B. Use a virtual Data Mover to replicate NS devices and use Replication Manager for
Exchange Server 2007 -
C. Configure CCR clustering for Exchange 2007 failover and RecoverPoint for data replication
D. Perform replication using Replication Manager and CDP clustering for application failover
Answer : A Topic 12, Scenario 38 A customer currently has several VNX systems deployed in their 1 Gb Ethernet environment. The VNX systems are used as targets for home directories, document storage, and compliance retention. They have a Microsoft Windows AD environment with 380 Microsoft Windows XP clients that use the VNX-based infrastructure. In addition, several Virtual Data Mover-based CIFS servers are configured to support file sharing requirements on each of the VNXs. All of the production applications are server-based with internal disk storage for the data. There is currently no SAN deployment in the infrastructure and no immediate plans for SAN implementation, as current administration skills are all network-based. The applications include Oracle databases, Oracle production tools, and Microsoft Exchange. The current backup strategy for the VNX systems is over the LAN using EMC NetWorker with a Fibre Channel connected tape library unit containing eight LTO-2 tape devices. The tapes are retained onsite for two weeks before being cycled to an offsite storage facility. The production servers are also backed up to this tape library by using several EMC NetWorker storage nodes. However, any data on the Windows XP clients that is not stored on the VNX shares is currently not protected.
The customer complains about dramatic storage growth and the high cost of maintaining infrequently accessed data on Tier 1 storage. By constantly adding storage to the environment, the backup team struggles with maintaining policies for backing up and restoring data with the limited infrastructure available.
Which solution resolves the customer's problem?
Answer : A
The customer is experiencing performance and transaction latency problems in their Oracle database and its associated back-end applications with large file I/O transactions. The customer has a limited budget and has approached you to advise them on a possible solution.
