LSI SVM5 Sales Consultant Questions and Answers

Question 1

Reducing the amount of required storage is increasingly important in reducing a customer total data center cost. Your customer has asked you toReducing the amount of required storage is increasingly important in reducing a customer total data center cost. Your customer has asked you to discuss the two main advantages that the SVM solution has in accomplishing this goal. What are the two primary advantages? (Choose two.)

Question 7

A customer cannot redo backups in the event of tape failure. Even though the customer has live backup agents, the increased load on the application server causes severe performance problems should the backup be restarted and runs into peak processing periods. What are two ways that multiView can assist in reducing the load on the application server? (Choose two.)

Options:

A.

multiView can take a PiT of the application that can be kept for recovery from disk and then backed up to tape during quieter processing times.

B.

multiView can take a PiT of the application and then copy it over IP to another site for resilience.

C.

multiView will take a full copy of the application which the backup application can then backup offline during less busy processing times.

D.

A view of a PiT can be mounted on a backup server and backed up to tape with no data flow or processing overhead on the application server.

FlexClone

C.

Thin Provisioning

D.

TrueCopy

SnapShot

Question 9

Which three actions will help mitigate budget cuts? (Choose three.)

Options:

A.

Migrate data to less expensive tiers.

B.

Deploy rapid application recovery.

C.

Avoid Tier 1 storage where possible.

D.

Stripe every volume.

E.

Implement server and storage virtualization.

Question 10

Which three ways can the use of SVMs zero-window backup technology result in financial benefits for a customer? (Choose three.)

Options:

A.

SVM integrates with backup software as a Virtual Tape Library (VTL).

B.

SVM reduces the need for backup clients.

C.

SVM allows fast, no-data-movement rollback of applications.

D.

SVM writes directly to a tape library eliminating the need for backup software.

E.

SVM allows a closer recovery point than the previous night's tape.

Question 11

The IT manager from a major Internet book retailer is looking for a backup solution for their company. Because its online catalog must be accessible at all times, they are looking for a solution that allows zero-impact backups. Which solution would you suggest to them?

Options:

A.

Add VMware ESX servers in front of SVM so that some servers could manage backup functions while others could continue to service I/O requests.

B.

Use SVM to provision a server farm that allows the online catalog to be present in two locations: one for transactions and another for backups.

C.

Use SVM multiView and a backup application, so they can do backups with no impact on production servers or on the LAN.

D.

Add a second, less powerful storage array that SVM multiCopy constantly streams to as an online backup service.

Question 12

An SVM prospect just called requesting that you virtualize their data center using VMware. What are three ways that SVM's volume management capabilities will help this customer? (Choose three.)

Options:
