3. A customer decided to consolidate their storage onto a Symmetrix. They have a mix of Windows and
UNIX servers and want one copy of data for creating backups each night. They also want another copy to
be made during the day. This second copy will be a standby to perform a fast recovery in the event of data
corruption.
The initial survey of the customer environment shows that the read/write ratio of their application is 1. 2
during the day and 5. 1 at night. The application appears to be highly sensitive to disk response times
during the day.
Which initial solution should be considered?
A. TimeFinder/Clones for the standby copy and TimeFinder/Mirror BCVs for backups at night
B. TimeFinder/Snap for the standby copy and TimeFinder/Clone for backups at night
C. TimeFinder/Snap for the standby copy and TimeFinder/Mirror BCVs for backups at night
D. TimeFinder/Mirror BCVs for the standby copy and TimeFinder/Snaps for backups at night
Answer: D
4. A customer has implemented a second Brocade director into their environment. They have moved
several hosts and one of their two storage arrays onto the new director. When a large batch cycle was run,
the customer experienced queuing on the directors when previously there was none.
The customer discovered the following during their analysis of the issue.
The hosts running the batch cycle used storage from both arrays.
The only LUNs having problems came from the array attached to the new director.
When the batch process was rerun
with all LUNs made available through the original director, no
problems were encountered.
What would you recommend to solve the performance problem?
A. Add departmental switches to the fabric, creating a core/edge design
B. Change FSPF costs
C. Implement additional Brocade ISLs
D. Utilize Brocade ISL Trunking to optimize the ISL traffic
Answer: D
