Exam 1: VPLEX Specialist for Implementation Engineers

IT security just implemented new security policies at a customer site. When VPLEX Management Server sends SYR reports to an ESRS gateway nothing is received at the gateway. What action did IT security take that would cause this?

A customer has a quad-engine VPLEX Metro configuration and has stated they want to review their performance metrics from the past 4 hrs on the entire cluster. How many performing log files will they need to pull from the management server in order to analyze all of their components?

Which VPLEX management NIC Interface must be connected to customer IP public LAN?

Refer to the exhibit. During a short power disruption to cluster 2, director-2-1-A had failed. Power was restored after 5 minutes. In examining the output of the vault status command, you note that cluster-2's status reads "Cluster is not vaulting/unvaulting". Why did this message appear?

Do virtual volumes need to be taken off-line prior to upgrading VPLEX software, and why or whynot?

Refer to the exhibit. On which cluster is the GUI connected?

What is the total number of available engines in the smallest VPLEX Metro configuration?

According to EMC best practices, how many metadata volumes for a VPLEX Metro configuration are required on each cluster?

Which vplexcli command will ensure that the directors SSD firmware has been upgraded to the correct version after the VPLEX NDU?

What are the three components that a drill-down command can be run against to provide a more detailed analysis?

Click on the calculator in the upper left corner. You have a perpetual performance monitor running on director 1-1-A. The data being monitored is growing at a rate of 2 MB per minute. At the current data rate, how far back in time will this monitor be able to reach?

What are the recommended protection and disk type when selecting a VPLEX Logging Volume?

A customer has ordered a two-engine VPLEX cluster to be installed in a custom rack. A minimal VNX5300 is already installed in the middle of the rack, occupying nine rack unit spaces. What is the correct approach to deploy the two-engine VPLEX cluster?

Refer to the exhibit. Reference the message type shown at point "1". What type of response will be sent back to the SNMP management server from the SNMP Agent?

Refer to the exhibit. What is the result of the command?

During an installation, the physical equipment inspection reveals an ESX host used for VPLEX Witness is located in the same rack as VPLEX cluster 1 Engine. What needs to be done?

Refer to the exhibit. You are performing a health-check on a VPLEX VS2 Metro system. After running several commands, you notice port errors on the VPLEX directors. What does the information listed under Checking ports status indicate?

A customer wants to collect performance data for specific virtual-volumes and has created the performance monitor. What step needs to be performed to enable data capture?

What is the EMC best practice for the optimum number of active back-end storage paths per director for each LUN presented to VPLEX?

When performing an installation you notice DHCP has set your Management Server subnet mask to 255.255.255.252. Based on EMC best practices, what is the appropriate subnet mask value for Management Server network 128.221.252.0?
