Architecting Multi-site HP Storage Solutions: HP0-J67

Your customer wants to replicate backup data from branch offices to a primary data center where an HP StoreOnce 4430 Backup System using HP StoreOnce Catalyst is located. The backup application is HP Data Protector 7.01. The file and application servers have Windows 2003, Windows 2008 and SUSE Linux 9 and 10 installed. As a long-term strategy, the customer wants to migrate all services to the primary data center. No additional hardware can be purchased for the branch offices, and complexity should be minimized.

In addition to the HP EBS Compatibility Matrix, which additional HP resources should be used to validate interoperability of a new solution?

A. HP Enterprise Backup Solution Design Guide

B. HP Data Protector Platform and Integration Matrix

C. HP Data Protector Concepts Guide

D. HP SAN Design Reference Guide

After talking with a sporting equipment manufacturer, you decide to propose a two-node HP 3PAR StoreServ 7400.

The manufacturer will use the following criteria to select the winning proposal: Approximately 4TB of performance data and 24TB of archive data

Most availability and performance for the price

Simple and easy to manage

Open to recommendations that provide significant cost savings without other impacts

Which configuration should you present, based on HP best practices?

A. 4 add on SFF Shelves with 26 x 300GB 15k and 1 LFF Shelf with 24 x 2TB NL

B. 3 add on LFF Shelves with 8 x 100GB SSD and 28 x 2TB NL

C. 4 add on SFF Shelves with 52 x 900GB 10k

D. 4 add on SFF Shelves with 8 x 100GB SSD and 98 x 450GB 10k

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 safeguarding 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. DR groups must be suspended prior to conversion.

C. Thin Provisioning is only available on HP EVA P65xx.

D. DR groups cannot contain Thin Provisioned virtual disks.
