How is this accomplished?
A company is using an EMC VNX storage array. RecoverPoint is being configured to replicate to a DR site. RP will be protecting three datastores:
A thick 100 GB LUN containing 60 GB of data
A thin 50 GB LUN containing 15 GB of data
A thick 75 GB LUN containing 75 GB of data

What should you advise them?
A customer has two VMAX arrays and three VNX arrays fronted by an EMC VPLEX. They wish to use RecoverPoint to protect their environment.
How many licenses, and of which type, would be required for their environment?
An existing RecoverPoint cluster has four physical RPAs deployed with VMAX arrays. Which RPAs need to be masked to the VMAX gatekeepers in order to deploy the VMAX splitter?
What is the maximum number of copies of production data supported with RecoverPoint?
You are concerned about the performance of the RecoverPoint replication. Some of the Consistency Groups continue to go into High Load. Initial troubleshooting points to a data compression issue.
Which command will determine if compression is set too high?
You are working on a RecoverPoint local replication solution in an environment that includes VNX and VMAX storage arrays. You want to create a Consistency Group (CG) for your Oracle database. However, some of the database volumes are located in the VNX and others are located in the VMAX.
What is the recommended management solution?
You are implementing a RecoverPoint/SE cluster using vRPAs. What must be configured and available on the new VNX array prior to the installation of the cluster with Deployment Manager?
After expanding to include an additional existing RecoverPoint cluster you use Deployment Manager to connect the clusters, but it fails.
What might be the problem?
You are a storage administrator tasked with creating a Consistency Group in a RecoverPoint/EX system. You launch the Protect Volumes wizard in Unisphere and notice that the desired production volume is not available.
What would be a possible cause?
A conversion from RecoverPoint/SE to RecoverPoint/EX was just completed. What is the next required step?
A company has a database protected by RecoverPoint that has become corrupted. They want to use the Recover Production wizard to repair the corruption.
What action should be taken at the production host prior to starting the recovery?
Which RecoverPoint tool will recommend the preferred RPA you should assign to each Consistency Group?
You are protecting a volume using the wizard in Unisphere for RecoverPoint. Which state will the new Consistency Group be in immediately after completing the wizard?
Which IP diagnostic command is used to test the IP connectivity performance between RPAs when the 'Test Throughput' option is chosen in the RPA interface?
When using Deployment Manager to install RecoverPoint/SE, which zoning methods are available with Brocade switches?
An administrator experiences a serious error with an RPA and calls EMC Support to resolve the issue. They are concerned that the system did not automatically notify EMC Support via the ESRS gateway. You check all settings in Unisphere Configure System Notification and find they are correct.
What is the most likely cause for this notification failure?
You are creating a Consistency Group with the Protect Volumes wizard in a RecoverPoint/EX environment.
What LUNs are displayed in the list generated by the wizard?
A customer is evaluating the deployment of RecoverPoint with their VMAX array. They want to deploy the RPAs in the virtual appliance form. They ask your opinion about using vRPA versus physical appliances.
What should you advise them?
An environment consists of a two-RPA, single cluster. There are 74 Consistency Groups (CGs) configured and replicating. The administrator asks you what impact an RPA failure would have.
What should you tell them?
A company believes their WAN IP network has performance problems. Which IP diagnostic tool can be used to confirm this issue?
A large data center is hosting storage protection solutions for multiple companies. This solution is accomplished by the hosting organization's ability to consolidate data to an environment with two VNX arrays.
