What is the purpose of a FAST VP policy?

To determine the network path for iSCSI traffic

To define the RAID protection level for a storage pool

To control how tiering behaves for specific storage resources, such as LUNs or file systems

To set the snapshot schedule for a LUN

What is the primary purpose of Dell Unity FAST VP?

To encrypt data at rest to protect against unauthorized access

To provide synchronous replication of data between two Unity arrays for disaster recovery

To compress data in real time to reduce the amount of storage consumed

To automatically move data between different performance tiers within a pool based on access patterns

A company runs a critical application on a Unity array. The storage team has a tiered pool with FAST VP enabled. They have a policy that sets the flash tier as preferred for the application's volume. However, they are concerned that the policy might cause excessive tiering activity, which could impact performance. Which action should they take to mitigate this risk?

Set the FAST VP tiering rate to a lower value to reduce the frequency of data movement.

Manually move the volume to the flash tier and disable FAST VP for the volume.

Increase the flash tier capacity to reduce the need for frequent tiering.

Disable the preferred-tier policy and rely on the default tiering behavior.

A storage administrator is monitoring FAST VP activity on a Unity array. They want to identify which volumes are generating the most tiering activity, to determine if any policies need adjustment. Which Unisphere view or CLI command should they use?

The FAST VP tab in Unisphere, which shows tiering activity per volume.

The CLI command 'fastvp -stats' to view tiering statistics.

The CLI command 'storagepool -show -tiering' to view tiering activity.

The Performance tab in Unisphere, which shows I/O statistics per volume.

When creating a storage pool with FAST VP enabled, what must you specify?

The replication schedule for the pool

The file system protocol (NFS or SMB) for the pool

The drives to include in each tier and the size of each tier

The snapshot retention policy for the pool
