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
Your customer deployed Micro Focus Data Protector as the data protection solution for their HPE 3PAR storage infrastructure in combination with HPE StoreOnce appliances.They contact you regarding options to extend data protection towards the cloud
Is this a valid option for your customer?
SolutionMicro Focus Data Protector has no native cloud Integration and is dependent of the backup target appliance to send data towards solutions like HPE StoreOnce Cloud Bank
Does this topology/implementation comply with the 3-2-1 rule of data protection?
Solution:An HPE MSA array creating local snapshots on the same array Backups are made with Veeam to a local HPE StoreOnce system using MAS shares Within Veeam a copy fob is active to a Veeam Cloud Connect repository target hosted at a public cloud provider
Your customer wants to replace an aging tape library with a new data protection solution that improves their RTO/RPSs. Their existing platform consists of HPE ProLiant OL380 Genio and 8GD FC connected Nimble Arrays
You recommend an HPE StoreOnce appliance and Veeam software
Is this a true statement?
Solution:Veeam supports HPE StoreOnce VTL.
You are showing your customer how Veeam integrates with HPE storage products, such as HPE Nimble and HPE 3PAR. You show how Veeam can restore in a fast and efficient way from HPE storage snapshots
Is this a correct statement?
Solution:Veeam Explorer can instantly recover a VM from a storage snapshot without prior de-staging and intermediate restores.
A customer wants to discuss their current backup environment
While walking to the meeting room, you pass what me 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:NinjaProlected+
Does this topology/implementationcomply with the 3-2-1 rule of data protection?
Solution:An HPE Nimble array with local snapshots replicating these snapshots to another HPE Nimble array on the same site Backups are made with Commvauit to a local tape library
As relates to mitigating ransomware, is this a best practice?
Solution:Use cloud-based storage targets for backup data, sincethe cloud provider guarantees the highest protection and so is immutable as platform.
Is this a reason why your customer might choose the HPE Apollo 4510 systems Instead of the HPE Apollo 4200 system?
Solution:The Apollo 4200 system is deployed with veeam Backup & Replication Standard Edition, while the 4510 system runs the Enterprise Edition for a more extended feature set
You are organizing a Proof-of-Concept (POC) for your customer for their new data protection solution based on Commvault technology in combination with HPE Nimble storage and HPE StoreOnce backup targets.
The customer asks you to demonstrate the configuration options for deduplication within the Commvault solution
is this a location where you can modify the deduplication parameters?
Solution:Navigate lo the Agents section and show the different parameters inside the Backup. Archive, Normalization and Replication agents
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 data.
Is this a design consideration that you should mention to your customer?
Solution:The types of applications running In the resource pools
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.
You are working with your customer on the advantages and disadvantages of various data protection schemes They currently have a storage solution with 2 HPE 3PAR arrays with Peer Persistence This Is used to make backups to an HPE StoreOnce VTU backup target using Commvault
Will this recommendation enhance the data protection plan?
Solution:Follow the 3-2-1-1-0 rule
A customer contacts you for assistance with performance troubleshooting of their backup environment because over the last few days they notice Increasing times tor 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 or the problem?
Solution:Ransomware is encrypting data, making the dally incremental backups grow and lowering the deduplication ratio due to new content.
You are optimizing the design of an existing data protection solution.The customer is using the following systems in their environment
• HPE OL380 Gen8/9/l0 servers
• HPE Nimble AF60
• HPE StoreEver MSL6030 tape library with LT04 drives
• HPE FlexFabric 590O switches for LAN and SAN connectivity (ISCSI based)
• VMware ESXI 6.5
• Windows 2016
• veeam 9.5U2
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 Veeam Platform Support to validate that the currently-used Veeam software products support HPE Nimble snapshot integration
Your customer’s current data protection solution Is based on HPE Nimble storage and HPE StoreOnce In combination with Veeam software The customer wants to Know how to Integrate a new SAP HANA solution Into the current data protection solution
Does this statement provide a valid recommendation?
Solution:Use HPE Recovery Manager Central (RMC) which rapidly moves SAP HANA data residing on the HPE Nimble storage array directly to HPE StoreOnce.
Is this a valid statement regarding Commvault components?
Solution:A Client Is a software module that is installed on a client computer to protect a specific type of data
You are working with your customer on the advantages and disadvantages of various data protection schemes They currently have a storage solution with 2 HPE 3PAR arrays with Peer Persistence This is used to make backups to an HPE StoreOnce VTL backup target using Commvauft
Will this recommendation enhance the data protection plan?
Solution:Use the Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) rotation scheme
Is this a supported key management solution for data encryption on an HPE StoreOnce system?
Solution:GemaltoSafeNel KeySecure Manager (via KMIP)
