Your customer has made a strategic decision to implement a DR solution that will incorporate an active/active bi-directional replication configuration. The two sites in Q will have live applications running at both locations, and both sites will have a fluid server estate with new systems coming online on a regular basis. Additionally, there is an aggressive server replacement schedule keeping instep with the HP server generation roadmap.
All of the customer servers will utilize Boot from SAN. The sites are 55 km apart with a single 1G Ethernet link that is at 50% utilization. There is no SLA. The customer has already purchased one pair of MPX200 FCIP gateways per site.
What is a potential effect of this configuration? (Select two.)

• A. The fabric will be extended across the two sites.
• B. WAN instability will cause fabric instability.
• C. The link speed will need to be upgraded to 10Gb
• D. LSANs will maintain fabric stability.
• E. Multiple 1Gb links will form a single 10Gb link.

Refer to the scenario.
During your presentation, the customer suggests using Thin Provisioning on the existing EVA to alleviate the capacity issue. What prevents HP EVA Thin Provisioning from being a valid solution?
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 has 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 goals are:
-Reduce complaints about storage system availability.
-increase support for sophisticated design and manufacturing applications.
-Provide a robust replication capability between data centers.
-increase storage utilization while deploying additional capacity.
-Simplify operations 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.
The company has asked that you create multiple solution proposals and prioritize one when you return for a presentation.

• A. A minimum of 20% free space is required to convert the virtual disks.
• B. Thin Provisioning is only available on HP EVA P65xx.
• C. DR groups must be suspended prior to conversion.
• D. DR groups cannot contain Thin Provisioned virtual disks.

You are tuning a customer HP StoreOnce Backup System and notice they are running backups 20 hours a day. As a result, backup jobs are running during the same time as replication jobs. What can you do to limit the available bandwidth and not saturate the link with replication traffic?

• A. Enable multiplexing and set concurrency to 1.
• B. Map multiple source libraries into a single target library.
• C. Enable concurrency control.
• D. Enable compression.

Your customer is migrating to VMware vSphere 5. Your solution includes HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage with licenses for Remote Copy and Adaptive Optimization. The customer is interested in implementing VMware Storage DRS and asks if there are any interoperability concerns with your solution.
What should you recommend to ensure that VMware Storage DRS coexists with your solution?

• A. HP 3PAR Remote Copy must be configured for synchronous replication.
• B. VMware Storage DRS should be set up in manual mode with I/O metric enabled.
• C. VMware Storage DRS should be configured for capacity-based decisions
• D. HP 3PAR Security Software Suite must be added to the solution
