A company wants to implement SnapVX snapshots for a critical production storage group. The storage group has a high write rate. The administrator is concerned about the impact of snapshots on production performance. What is the best practice to minimize the performance impact?

Create snapshots as frequently as possible to ensure data protection

Disable snapshot tracking to reduce overhead

Use full clones instead of snapshots for better performance

Limit the number of concurrent snapshots and monitor snapshot capacity

A financial services company runs a critical Oracle database on a PowerMax storage group. The DBA team wants to create a point-in-time copy for a test environment without allocating full copies of the data. They plan to link the copy to a test host and later discard it. Which SnapVX capability should the administrator use to meet this requirement?

Create a snapshot and present the source volume directly to the test host

Create a snapshot of the storage group and link it to a target volume for the test host

Create a full clone of the storage group using the Clone operation

Use SRDF to create a remote copy and link it to the test host

A company has a large production storage group with a SnapVX snapshot taken 6 hours ago. Since then, only a small number of blocks have changed. The administrator needs to restore the storage group to the snapshot state with minimal impact on production performance. What should the administrator do?

Link the snapshot to a target volume and copy the changed files

Perform an incremental restore of the storage group from the snapshot

Create a new snapshot and use it as the production source

Perform a full restore of the storage group from the snapshot

What is the difference between a full restore and an incremental restore in SnapVX?

A full restore requires a target volume, while an incremental restore does not.

A full restore copies all data from the snapshot, while an incremental restore only copies changed tracks.

A full restore is faster than an incremental restore.

A full restore deletes the snapshot, while an incremental restore keeps it.
