A customer has seven servers running Windows 2003. Five of the servers are running the client component of Backup Exec 9.1. The last server is designated as the ADAMM server with a local 35/70 (2 drive model) tape library. The network interface between all machines is 100BaseT. The customer indicates they are not getting their backups done within their production window. Which EBS solution is the most effective configuration from a performance point-of-view?
A. attaching an MSL5026 (SDLT drives) to an MDR and the MDR to a 7 port hub
B. attaching an SSL2020 (AIT 50 drives) to an MDR and the MDR to a hub
C. attaching an MSL5026 (SDLT drives) to an MDR and the MDR to a SAN16 switch
D. attaching a TL891DLX (DLT 40/80 drives) to an MDR and the MDR to a SAN16 switch
Three LUNs, sda, sdb and sdc, are connected to a Linux server. You shutdown the server and physically remove sdb. What happens after the server reboots?
A. The LUNs sda and sdc are accessible, LUN sdb is renamed into sdvb simulating a virtual device.
B. The LUNs sda and sdc are accessible, LUN sdb is not listed in the device scan.
C. The LUN sda is accessible, LUN sdc is now sdb and accessible using this name.
D. The LUNs sda and sdc are accessible, LUN sdb is listed as offline in the device scan.
A customer needs to refresh a mission-critical Fibre Channel block storage solution. They need a budgetary quote by end of the week. Which key initial information should you gather to design an appropriate high-level HP Storage solution?
A. number of host ports needed, current volume counts IOP averages, disaster recovery, and backup criteria
B. current RAID levels, backup and replication criteria, number of SAN ports, and current disk speeds
C. current RAW capacity, estimated array level IOPS, replication and backup criteria, and number of host ports needed.
D. usable capacity, replication and backup criteria, number of thinly provisioned volumes, and deduplication rations
A customer has a small computer room with an existing HP BladeSystem c-Class Enclosure. The customer has 10 U of free space in their existing rack and would like to add an enterprise-class storage system. To keep costs down the
customer would like a Flat SAN and a storage system that can be scaled up in the future into their existing rack space.
What should you recommend?
A. HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000
B. HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000
C. HP StoreVirtual 4130 FC
D. HP StoreAll 9300
Scenario
Following the merger of two financial companies, management is considering combining the two distinct customer call centers into a single physical location. In addition to the overall call center headcount increasing by 30%, the support for
two distinct customer bases presents the potential of having two different desktop PCs on the desk of each call center employee. Instead of correspondingly increasing IT support headcount to manage the single, larger call center and call
center infrastructure, management believes they can reduce the required time to support call center operations by 40% if they employ virtual desktop technology.
An initial assessment has identified the need for a centralized storage solution that could support 500 virtual desktops running a variety of applications that can scale quickly to accommodate an expected increase in call center staff. The
customer is already an HP Blade System customer using HP Virtual Connect Flex-10.
Some of the additional business criteria identified in customer planning interviews includes:
Use client virtualization for the desktops.
Achieve the highest possible density and performance for the virtual desktops,but keep the virtual desktop storage traffic off the network due to a current, existing limitation of only 1GbE.
Do not use standalone, network-attached storage.
Limit the impact of additional rack space.
Minimize the risk of additional help-desk tickets.
Present multiple solutions, prioritized with a recommendation.
Refer to the scenario.
How should you prepare your presentation to convince the customer that operational expenditures are reduced?
A. Focus on shared storage usage and availability of the proposed solution.
B. Point out reclaimed annual productivity time through client virtualization.
C. Emphasize repurposing the existing HP BladeSystem in the new solution design.
D. Mitigate risk by proposing an HP Converged Infrastructure solution.
You are asked to gather environment details for a proposed SAN network design solution.Your customer has an existing mixed environment composed of both B-series and C-series SAN switches.
Which assessment tool should you use to gather inventory information and present the information in both Excel and Visio formats?
A. HP System Insight Manager
B. HP Intelligent Infrastructure Analyzer Software
C. HP SAN Visibility
D. HP SAN Network Advisor
