Question 1

A storage architect is evaluating a refresh of an aging VMAX infrastructure. The customer requires mainframe support, maximum scalability up to 16 nodes, and the ability to utilize the new Dynamic Fabric architecture. Which PowerMax model and OS combination is the ONLY valid solution for these specific requirements?

Accepted Answer

PowerMax 8500 running PowerMaxOS 10

Answer

PowerMax 8000 running PowerMaxOS 5978

Answer

PowerMax 2500 running PowerMaxOS 10

Answer

PowerMax 8500 running PowerMaxOS 5978

Question 2

When comparing the software offerings between legacy and next-generation PowerMax systems, which two features are native and exclusive to the PowerMaxOS 10 architecture? (Select TWO)

Accepted Answer

Flexible RAID technology with granular media packs

Accepted Answer

Any-to-Any NVMe Dynamic Fabric architecture

Answer

Local RAID protection schemes

Answer

Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF) for replication

Answer

Management Module Control Station (MMCS) integration

Question 3

A systems engineer is designing a deployment for a mid-sized enterprise that requires high-performance block storage but will not exceed 2 nodes in its lifetime. The environment does not use mainframe connectivity. Which PowerMax model is the most cost-effective fit for this specific use case?

Accepted Answer

PowerMax 2500

Answer

PowerMax 8500

Answer

PowerMax 8000

Answer

VMAX All Flash 950F

Question 4

True or False: PowerMaxOS 10 can be installed as a direct software upgrade on existing PowerMax 2000 and 8000 hardware arrays to enable Dynamic Fabric capabilities.

Accepted Answer

False

Answer

True

Question 5

A financial institution is deciding between the PowerMax 2500 and 8500. They have a strict requirement for physical separation of compute nodes from storage enclosures to allow independent scaling. Which configuration characteristic dictates the right choice?

Accepted Answer

The PowerMax 8500 utilizes separate System Bays (for compute nodes) and Storage Bays (for DAEs), allowing independent scaling.

Answer

The PowerMax 2500 supports independent compute and storage scaling through virtual matrices.

Answer

Both the 2500 and 8500 require compute and storage to be scaled symmetrically in engine pairs.

Answer

The PowerMax 8000 must be used, as PowerMaxOS 10 models do not support independent scaling.

Question 6

A customer is reviewing the software packaging options for a new PowerMax 2500 array. They need advanced features such as SRDF/Metro, Cloud Mobility, and advanced cyber security capabilities. Which software package includes all these features by default?

Accepted Answer

PowerMax Pro Package

Answer

PowerMax Essentials Package

Answer

PowerMax Base OS Package

Answer

PowerMax Advanced Mobility Suite
