A. A single pair of RCIP ports on one array can have a Remote Copy relationship with up to two other arrays
B. Remote Copy fan-in ratios of greater than 2:1 are only supported with RCIP when using 10 Gb Ethernet links

D. Asynchronous streaming replication must be used for Remote Copy fan-in ratios greater than 2:1
Which advantage is provided by HPE 3PAR Remote Copy across all replication modes?
A. support of all Remote Copy topologies
B. automatic recovery of array failure independent of Remote copy topology
C. Remote Copy support up to 100ms latency over all transport layers
D. all Remote Copy topologies yield identical RPO and RTO

A. using an HPE 3PAR CLI script with the checkupgrade command
B. using a script based on the HPE 3PAR Web Services API
C. using the upgrade report tool in HPE InfoSight
D. using the SSMC array configuration reports
A customer with an existing StoreOnce 5100 appliance needs guidance on determining long-term expected growth of the storage utilization based on actual usage.

Which step should be performed to check the StoreOnce 5100 for best practices and allow for growth planning?
A. Run the DD Analyzer Sizing Tool
B. Run the HPE Storage Sizer tool
C. Perform an HPE NinjaProtected+ assessment
D. Register StoreOnce 5100 in the InfoSight portal
A customer is experiencing high utilization on their VMware ESXi server NICs when they backup virtual machines stored on an HPE 3PAR 8200. Which technology is available on a StoreOnce VSA to reduce the network utilization?
A. Catalyst target-side deduplication
B. Transportable shadow copies
C. Backup from storage snapshots
D. Adaptive Data Reduction
A customer has two sites. The link between sites is Fibre Channel, and the distance between sites is less than 1km. The link latencies are within HPE recommended tolerances. The customer asks you to design a Peer Persistent solution
using HPE servers running physical Windows 2016 servers and HPE 3PAR storage.
What are characteristics of the Quorum Witness? (Select two.)
A. A virtual implementation of the Peer Persistence Quorum Witness is required on a third site
B. A Peer Persistence Quorum Witness is required for normal HPE 3PAR Peer Persistence operation
C. The Quorum Witness initiates the fail-over, passing control to the standby array
D. A physical implementation of the Peer Persistence Quorum Witness is required on a third site
E. Quorum Witness becomes relevant only during 3PAR Peer Persistence failover
A customer has two HPE Nimble arrays that are replication partners. The customer suffers a complete outage on the source array. What does the administrator need to do to make the most recent snapshot available?
A. Verify the automatic failover occurred
B. Promote the target snapshot

B. This is normal behavior for AO
C. There is an improper AO configuration on the secondary array
D. AO should not be used with Remote Copy configurations
