Data is being migrated from a VNX to a PowerMax using Open Replicator. The Pace Value is 0 with a Celling of 10%. Copies are taking a very long time to complete.
What could be done to resolve this issue?
What is required before a port can be disassociated from an FA emulation on a PowerMax?
An architect uses the following command to collect data from a HP-UX host when designing a solution in BCSD:

What does the –b flag in the command represent?
What needs to be created in BCSD to link multiple SRDF/A sessions?
SRDF/A has been enabled between two PowerMax arrays. An extended loss of all RDF links occurs.
What is the state of the RDF pair after link connectivity is restored?
What is the maximum number of files that can be uploaded in a single operation in Sizer?
A storage architect is evaluating the performance of a PowerMax array during business hours. They want to know how much extra load the PowerMax can handle without significant performance degradation. The Workload Planner is used to identify the hot spots during the recurring backup windows.
Between 9:30 PM and 1:30 AM and between 3:15 AM and 5:30 AM, backups are causing the PowerMax to exceed the best practice recommendation. The Recurring System Data Exclusion Periods chart is used to filter out these hot spots. After running this workload planning for a few weeks, they notice that the selection of records they previously made are showing different numbers than when they started viewing the report, several weeks ago.
What is the explanation for this behavior?
What happens to the space used for SnapVX delta tracks that are unique to a terminated snapshot?
A very small data center is being deployed at a service provider site. New 32 GB FC switches to support Open Systems hosts have been purchased and installed in the data center. Two of the tenants for data storage are from competing small businesses. Data storage for each tenant is expected to be a maximum of 500 TB. Because tenants are from competing companies, the service provider wants to be able to provide data storage from different arrays to each tenant to guarantee separation of data and information.
Which array is recommended to support these requirements, while occupying the least amount of space in the new data center?
A customer is planning to purchase a PowerMax 8000 system with the zEssentials software package. The environment needs to have the ability to rapidly recover from large scale logical corruption using TimeFinder SnapVX.
