What action should be performed by the administrator?

24. What is the maximum number of Bricks and drives that can be configured in a VMAX 950?

25. At a disaster planning meeting, an architect is presented with the following facts by a client:

A Unix host is replicating storage from a Production PowerMax to a VMAX 250FX.

RDF pairs have been split with Production and DR hosts accessing their respective storage.

Invalid tracks have started to build against PowerMax and VMAX 250FX.

The client now wants to bring production back to PowerMax, discarding the VMAX 250FX updates while keeping the updates on the PowerMax.

What is the correct action to take?

26. Which product allows for local protection for Z Systems?

What can be done to address the issue?

28. A PowerMax Storage Group has Host I/O limits set at 10000 IOPS. The Port Group contains four ports across different directors. The Dynamic Distribution is set to OnFailure.

What is the maximum IOPS the Storage Group can achieve in the event a switch port being used by one of the director ports fails but the director remains online?

29. What is the default HTTPS port assignment for communication of VSI/IAPI requests sent to REST API of Unisphere for PowerMax?

30. A storage architect is planning a Unisphere upgrade.

Which password is required for the upgrade?

31. What action can an administrator perform on a PowerMax using VSI?

32. An architect is configuring BCSD to design SRDF/S between two new PowerMax arrays. The architect has completed the tasks for the local side of the solution, including RA Port Group, Replication Group, and site switch.

What is the correct order of steps the architect needs to take to complete the SRDF setup?

The parent Storage Group in this Masking View has three child Storage Groups with different Service Levels (SLs). The customer has been experiencing some database performance issues and wants to set the SL to Platinum for all the devices.

When the storage administrator attempts to set the SL on the parent Storage Group, they receive an error and the operation fails.
