|
Term
| What TimeFinder Operation is used to provide the current status of BCV/standard volume pairs? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| True or False? In TimeFinder, a new BCV is instantly available to the host? |
|
Definition
| False. It must first be fully established, which takes some time, and then split in order for the host to access it. |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What does ECA stand for and what does it do? |
|
Definition
Enginuity Consistancy Assist
It can hold I/O at the Symmetrix level -- eliminating the need for PowerPath when TimeFinder performs a split operation. |
|
|
Term

| What are the benefits of TimeFinder/Mirror and TimeFinder/Mirror Clones? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are concurrent BCVs? |
|
Definition
| Concurrent BCVs is a TimeFinder/Mirror - BCV feature that allows two BCVs to be simultaneously established with a Standard volume. |
|
|
Term
| How does a TimeFinder/Clone handle reads and writes? |
|
Definition
| TimeFinder/Clone use a copy on access method. Data is copied to the target device the first time a track on the source device is written to or a track on the target is accessed (read or write). |
|
|
Term
| True or False. A TimeFinder/Clone is available instantly. |
|
Definition
| True. A TimeFinder/Close uses a copy on access method. |
|
|
Term
| What are some benefits of TimeFinder/SNAPs? |
|
Definition
- Reduces Disk Space required for Mirrored Copy
- Copy-on-write technique to conserve disk space (writes written to the "Save Area" which is usally 20% of source volume)
- Are instantly available |
|
|
Term
| How does EMC accomplish TimeFinder Snapshot Consistency? |
|
Definition
| ECA temporarily halts I/O from host, snapshots are activated and I/O resumes without application implact. Devices are consistant and re-startable as a set. |
|
|
Term
| Where can you restore data to with TimeFinder/Snap? |
|
Definition
Can retore directly to:
The source volume
A split BCV of source
A separate volume
|
|
|
Term

Term
| What is a limitation of using a TimeFinder composite group? |
|
Definition
| Control operations can only be performed on the group as a whole. |
|
|
Term
| What is the name of optional TimeFinder service that provides you with the ability to store decice and composite group definitions in a shared repository located on each Symmetrix array, which would then automatically become visible to all attached hosts. |

|
Definition
| EMC Replication Manager - ERM |
|
|
Term
| What action should be taken before performing a normal split of a BCV pair? |
|
Definition
