   A media company is migrating from a VMAX 250F to a PowerMax 2000. The environment includes a production video-editing share, a test/dev database, and an archive of rendered projects. The migration must be completed over a weekend with no impact to the production share during business hours. What is the most appropriate way to determine the migration scope?

   • APrioritize the production share for the weekend window, and schedule the test/dev and archive migrations for later, lower-risk windows
   • BMigrate all devices in a single batch to minimize the number of cutover events
   • CMove the archive first because it is largest, then the production share, then test/dev
   • DInclude only the production share in the scope because it is the only business-critical system

   A hospital is migrating its patient monitoring system from a VMAX 10K to a PowerMax 2000. The system has a 24/7 operation with no scheduled downtime. The migration must use array-based replication. The initial copy will take 8 hours. What is the most appropriate way to handle the downtime constraint?

   • ASchedule a maintenance window and accept the downtime
   • BPerform the initial copy during the day and the cutover at night
   • CRun the initial copy and cutover simultaneously
   • DUse a non-disruptive cutover with array-based replication and host-based path switching

   A manufacturing company is migrating its ERP system from a VMAX 10K to a PowerMax 8000. The ERP database is 12 TB and supports a 24/7 production line. The storage team has a 4-hour maintenance window on Sunday. The initial copy will take 10 hours. What is the most appropriate migration strategy given these constraints?

   • AReduce the scope by migrating only the most recent 4 TB of data
   • BUse a host-based copy tool to speed up the initial copy
   • CPerform a full copy during the week, then a final incremental copy during the 4-hour window
   • DRun the full copy during the 4-hour window and accept that it will overrun

   A hospital is moving its electronic health record (EHR) database from a legacy VMAX 20K to a new PowerMax 8000. The database uses 4KB block size, and the current array is configured with FBA devices. The target PowerMax will run the latest PowerMaxOS. The storage architect needs to ensure the migration path is valid. What should the architect verify first?

   • AThat the target PowerMax supports FBA devices and the source LUNs are within the supported size limits
   • BThat the source devices are not part of a TimeFinder SnapVX session
   • CThat the database vendor certifies the new PowerMax model
   • DThat the source VMAX and target PowerMax are in the same SAN fabric zone
