HP Architecting Multi-site HP Storage Solutions Sample Questions:

1. A customer experiences a sudden loss in write performance on the HP 3PAR StoreServ array on the primary site. Reads are not affected, but writes slowed down significantly.
What should you advise the customer to check first in order to solve the issue?

A) replication type (if set to synchronous. set it to asynchronous periodic)
B) host multi-pathing software (update it to the newest available version)
C) Fibre Channel infrastructure and optical cabling for malfunctioning components
D) replication type (if set to asynchronous periodic, set it to synchronous)

2. 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 as 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 goa's are:
-Reduce compiaints about storage system availabiiity.
-increase support for sophisticated design and manufacturing applications.
-Provide a robust repication capability between data centers.
-increase storage utilzation while depioying additional capacity.
-Simplify operatons 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 proposing HP 3PAR StoreSe|v 7400s for the two data centers, and the HP 6400 Enterprise Virtual
Arrays must be retired in three months.
Which feature of your proposal allows data migration to the new storage array?

A) HP Peer Motion
B) HP Remote Copy

How many additional drive chassis does the customer need?

A) Three
B) Five
C) Six
D) Four

4. Your client wants to replace their aging storage and server infrastructures with the latest technology available to run their online transaction processing and Oracle data warehouse applications. The client data warehouse holds a minimum of 2 years of trading and market data for reporting, trending, and regulatory functions.
The current storage system is an HP 3PAR F400 that has been operational for almost 4 years without any downtime. The client needs 150 TB of raw capacity.
Which proposed solution follows the configuration best practices and future proofing?

A) HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 with 15k SAS and NL drives
B) HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 with SSD and NL drives
