Question 1Choose one

A healthcare provider is configuring asynchronous replication for a PowerStore file system containing critical patient records to a disaster recovery site. The primary business requirement is to ensure that in the event of a failover, the NAS server configuration, including SMB shares and NFS exports, is automatically recreated at the DR site to minimize recovery time. Which setting must be enabled when configuring the replication session?

Question 2Choose one

True or False: When using the native PowerStore migration tool to import storage from a Dell Unity array, the process requires installing an agent or kit on the source Unity system.

Question 3Choose one

An administrator needs to deploy a PowerStore X appliance, which integrates compute and storage by running VMware ESXi directly on the nodes. What is a key difference in the network planning for a PowerStore X model compared to a PowerStore T model?

Question 4Choose 2

A deployment engineer is provisioning storage for a new VMware vSphere cluster on a PowerStore 5200T. The primary goal is to leverage storage policy-based management (SPBM) to apply data services like snapshots and replication on a per-VM basis. Which two storage objects must be created on the PowerStore and vCenter to enable this functionality? (Select TWO)

Question 5Choose one

A university IT department uses a PowerStore array to provide SMB file shares for various academic departments. The 'Engineering' department needs to be restricted to a maximum of 5 TB of storage usage for their share. The department head needs to receive an email notification when usage reaches 4.5 TB (90%). Which PowerStore feature should be configured to meet these requirements?

Question 6Choose one

A consultant is planning a migration from a legacy EMC VNX2 array to a new PowerStore 7000T. The VNX2 hosts several business-critical applications on Fibre Channel LUNs. The primary project goal is to perform the migration with zero downtime for the application hosts. Which migration method should be used?

Question 7Choose one

An administrator has configured a protection policy with a snapshot rule to take snapshots every 4 hours and retain them for 3 days. This policy has been applied to a 2 TB volume. After 48 hours, the administrator notices that the storage consumption for snapshots is significantly higher than anticipated. What is the most likely cause for this increased consumption?

Question 8Choose 2

A deployment engineer is setting up a new PowerStore cluster and needs to ensure that both nodes in an appliance can service I/O for the same LUN simultaneously and that hosts can maintain access to the LUN even if one node fails. Which two PowerStore features or architectural components inherently provide this capability? (Select TWO)

Question 9Choose one

An administrator is provisioning a new iSCSI LUN from a PowerStore T array to a bare-metal Windows Server. The server has two physical NICs dedicated to iSCSI traffic on separate subnets for redundancy. After configuring the iSCSI initiator on the Windows host and discovering the PowerStore targets, the administrator observes four paths to the LUN in Disk Management, but only one path is active. What must be configured to enable I/O across all available paths?

Question 10Choose one

A manufacturing company has two data centers with a high-speed, low-latency (<5ms) dark fiber link between them. They are deploying two PowerStore 9200T arrays and require a zero Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for their most critical database volume. Which replication mode must be configured for this volume's protection policy?
