Oracle Primavera Portfolio Management Essentials Set 5

A company wants a solution to consolidate their storage using the DS4000 series and implement a
disaster recovery solution across two data centers linked by fibre to duplicate the production environment.
The customer requires a solution with the least amount of system administration. Which configuration
would provide the best solution?

A customer has a requirement for a server to run Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and
Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition. It has been determined that 4GB RAM will be needed. The customer
is trying to decide between the two following configurations:
An IBM xSeries x366 with 4 Xeon MP processors and 4 x 1GB memory DIMMs.
An IBM xSeries x445 with 4 Xeon MP processors and 8 x 1GB memory DIMMs.
Which question should be asked to guide the customer in selecting the correct memory configuration?

A company has two x346 servers each attached to their own EXP400 containing 367GB of raw SCSI
storage. They want to consolidate their storage infrastructure into a scalable, high availability solution at
minimum cost. Which of the following storage solutions best satisfies the customer's requirements?

A customer has a database application that is accessed by a large number of people through a web
interface from multiple remote locations. Which of the following questions will provide the information
necessary to design the best performing storage solution?

A small bio-technical company is interested in implementing a 32-node Linux cluster. They have
developed their own software that allows all of the nodes to work on the same problem at the same time.
The application requires messages to be passed between the nodes. Each node will require access to a
shared storage pool of around 500GB.
To identify the inter-process communication (IPC) networking requirements, which of the following is the
most appropriate question to ask?

A medium-sized company with 500 employees has a rapidly growing storage infrastructure with
clustered mail, database, and file and print core business applications running on six servers. Using
current direct attached SCSI storage pools to each server leads to inefficient utilization of storage space.
They also have a backup device attached to each server. They want to consolidate their storage and
backup infrastructure into a scalable, high availability and high performance solution. The customer's top
priorities are performance, cost, and availability.
Which of the following backup solutions best satisfies the customer requirements?

A customer asked a consultant to create the infrastructure for an application. The application is
designed to charge customers for conferencing services based on usage. To determine if a Storage Area
Network (SAN) is the best storage solution, which of the following questions is most appropriate?

A customer needs to deploy a SAN and connect nine servers running a mix of Windows and Linux.
They currently need 12TB, but their growth requirements will be tripled in the near future. They will also
consolidate 18 legacy Windows servers onto one system using virtualization software and connect that
server to the storage solution. A DS4000 series backup solution needs to be included in the design.
Which of the following solutions will satisfy these requirements?

A company wants to run multiple applications on an x445 to serve their user base. OS and application licensing cost is a factor. Which TWO questions will help the specialist decide on the operating environment and the number of processors per server?

A startup company recently lost their critical database due to hardware failure on a Windows 2003 4-way processor server running 32-bit applications and an out-dated backup due to a narrow backup window. To prevent this situation from happening again, the solution proposed must be cost effective, scale to 16-way and allow for future storage expansion. Which TWO of the following options should the consultant recommend?
