   A hospital is replacing an aging array with a new PowerMax. The storage team must move 200 TB of production data to the new system with minimal disruption to clinical applications. They plan to use PowerMaxOS 10 Data Mobility. Which operational approach best meets the requirement?

   • AShut down all clinical applications, perform a full backup, and restore the data to the new array.
   • BConfigure a non-disruptive migration using Data Mobility to copy data from the source to the target while the source remains online, then switch over during a maintenance window.
   • CUse Data Mobility to move data only after business hours, accepting that applications will be offline during the move.
   • DManually copy data using host-based tools while the source is offline to ensure consistency.

   A media company needs to migrate a large video archive from a legacy storage system to a PowerMax. The archive is accessed infrequently, but the migration must not impact ongoing production workloads on the PowerMax. Which Data Mobility approach is most appropriate?

   • APerform the migration immediately without any throttling to finish quickly.
   • BUse synchronous replication to the PowerMax and then promote the replica.
   • CManually copy the archive using host-based tools during business hours.
   • DSchedule the migration during off-peak hours and use throttling to limit impact on production.

   A financial firm needs to relocate a critical database from a legacy array to a PowerMax. The database cannot tolerate any data loss, and the cutover must be completed within a short maintenance window. Which Data Mobility operation should the administrator use?

   • AUse a host-based replication tool to synchronize data continuously before the cutover.
   • BCopy the data to the target, then perform a final incremental copy to capture changes before switching over.
   • CPerform a full backup and restore to the target, then verify data integrity.
   • DMove the data in a single operation, which automatically deletes the source after copying.

   A company wants to move a development database to a lower-cost tier within the same PowerMax to save money. The database is only used during business hours. Which Data Mobility feature is most appropriate?

   • ASnapshot-based backup of the database.
   • BSynchronous replication to a remote site.
   • CAutomated tiering that moves the database to a lower-cost tier during off-hours and back during business hours.
   • DManual migration to a different array.
