Question 1

A Cloud Storage Operations Analyst is investigating an InfoSight wellness alert for an HPE Primera array. The customer reports that their nightly batch processing jobs are taking twice as long as normal, though no hardware has failed.
[InfoSight Wellness Alert - Performance Anomaly]
Array: Primera_Prod_DC1
Symptom: Read Latency Deviation
Normal Baseline: 1.5ms
Current 7-Day Average: 8.5ms
Signature Match: "Noisy Neighbor Contention - Snapshot Over-retention"
Root Cause Detail: Volume 'Dev_DB_Clone' has 45 unexpired snapshots spanning 60 days, causing severe metadata fragmentation and backend read penalties on the shared disk group.
Which TWO actions should the analyst recommend based on this proactive telemetry diagnostic?
(Choose 2.)

  • Question 5

    A Backup and Recovery Engineer is attempting to right-size the storage capacity for an aging hybrid array. The primary application owner claims their database only grows by 100 GB per week, yet the storage array telemetry indicates the volume's physical footprint is expanding by
    1.5 TB per week.
