   A hospital is migrating a patient records database to a new PowerMax. The migration must be completed with zero data loss and minimal downtime. The database is 10 TB and the maintenance window is 1 hour. What is the best approach?

   • AShut down the database, copy all data, and restart.
   • BPerform an initial copy a week before, then schedule incremental copies daily until the cutover.
   • CPerform a full copy during the 1-hour window.
   • DUse synchronous replication to the new array and then promote.

   An administrator needs to move a test database to a different PowerMax array for development purposes. The source database can be taken offline for a short period. Which Data Mobility operation is most suitable?

   • AUse a move operation that copies data to the target and then removes the source after successful copy.
   • BUse a backup and restore operation to the target.
   • CUse synchronous replication and then break the replication.
   • DUse a copy operation and keep the source intact for rollback.

   An administrator is planning a Data Mobility migration between two PowerMax arrays. The source device is a thick LUN, and the target device is a thin LUN. The administrator wants to minimize physical space usage on the target. What should the administrator consider?

   • AThe target thin LUN will only allocate space for the data actually written, potentially saving space.
   • BThe target will automatically become thick after migration.
   • CThe source will be deleted after the copy, freeing space.
   • DThe migration will fail because source and target types differ.

   A company is consolidating multiple legacy arrays into a single PowerMax. The consolidation must be completed over a weekend, and the storage team has limited staff. They want to minimize manual effort and ensure consistency. Which approach best leverages Data Mobility?

   • AUse host-based copy tools to migrate data.
   • BUse backup and restore for each LUN.
   • CUse Data Mobility to perform online migrations for each LUN, scheduling them sequentially to avoid resource contention.
   • DPerform offline migrations for all LUNs simultaneously.
