A customer wants advice on their current data protection solution. Due to compliance regulation changes, the company requires lower RTO and RPO objectives for their Service Level Agreement (SLA)
is this a correct statement regarding how HPE solutions can help to comply with this tighter SLA?
Solution:HPE disk-based backup solutions like HPE StoreOnce have Catalyst functionality, which enables Integration with HPE storage arrays like HPE Nimble and Primera.
Thus, you can send snapshots from the storage arrays directly to the backup target, with fast direct recovery through RMC
A customer contacts you for assistance with performance troubleshooting of their backup environment because over the last few days they notice increasing times for backup completion They see no apparent reason for this, since the data volume to be backed up did not change unusually compared to the previous days and weeks.
You also notice that the deduplication ratio, historically steady at about 20:1. is now gradually declining
Is this a potential cause of the problem?
Solution:Ransomware is encrypting data, making the dairy incremental backups grow and lowering the deduplication ratio due to new content.
A customer has deployed a hyperconverged environment based on HPE Simplivity at a number of their sites.
Before migrating workloads to the environment, you ask them about the backup policies In an HPE simpliVity solution to protect the actual datais this a design consideration that you should mention to your customer?
Solution:The preference of COW (Copy-On-Write) or ROW (Redirect-On-Write) -based snapshots
You meet with a customer who is having performance and stability issues with their tape-based backup environment based on HPE StoreEver systems
Should you use this tool to gather information and troubleshoot the installed systems?
Solution:SAF Collect
You meet with a customer about a new data protection solution. One or the most important requirements is low RTO and RPO numbers. In the range of minutes.
The amount of data to be backed up is in the range of 50TB on an ISCSI based HPE Nimble array.
Is this a backup target that can validly be considered for the new solution?
Solution:Install a NAS device on the ISCSI network to enable data replication from the SAN to the NAS device by the backup application, thus allowing fast recovery over the high speed storage network
Is this a valid statement regarding Commvaultcomponents?
Solution:For larger environments where highavailability Is critical, the CommServe server can be clustered
A customer wants to replace an aging tape-based backup platform using a Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) rotation scheme. They are considering replacing the entire solution with public cloud storage as a backup target
Is this a valid recommendation for this customer?
Solution:Avoid using public cloud storage as a target in this scenario, since they cannot deliver thesame SLAs as the local on-premises backup solution based on HPE StoreEver
A customer is currently using HPE StoreEver MSL2Q24 tape libraries with LT06 tape drives. They contact you about the need for more capacity on the tapes with the ever-lasting growth of data within their company.
Does this recommendation offer a viable option Tor upgrading the storage capacity of the tape libraries?
Solution:Upgrade toLTO8drives giving the highest capacity or tapes at this moment
The customer stilt needs a dedicated LT06 drive for future restores from their current LT06 tapes.
A customer wants to discuss their current backup environment.
While walking to the meeting room, you pass what the customer tells you is their only computer room You notice they have a mix of Proliant DL servers, three Synergy frames. Nimble, and a MSL3040 in the racks.
Is this a tool you can use to gather information on the current backup data to size a new solution?
Solution:DD Analyzer
You are optimizing the design of an existing data protection solution. The customer Is using the following systems In their environment
• HPE DL380 GenS/9/10 servers
• HPE Nimble AF60
• HPE StoreEver MSL6030 tape library with LT04 drives
• HPE FlexFabflc 5900 switches for LAN and SAN connectivity (ISCSI based)
• VMware ESXI 6.5
• Windows 2016
• Veeam9.5U2
You want to replace the aging tape library with a new HPE StoreOnce 5650 solution with VTL virtual tape library and Catalyst targets with HPE Nimble snapshot Integration
Is this what you should use to assess current backup deployment?
Solution:Use HPE Info Sight lovalidate that the current HPE Nimble storage array is running the correctNimble OS version tosupport storage integration withthe used VMware ESXl
