What action is required on a PowerMax thin device before it can be deleted?
What action is required before performing a restore operation from a TimeFinder SnapVX snapshot?
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?
A storage architect is looking for best practices to expand an existing single V-Brick VMAX All Flash
250. They are planning to expand the VMAX configuration to a dual V-Brick model for better performance.
What is a consideration?
