Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Unity XT — Question 60

You plan to schedule a Live Optics sampling with your customer to size a Dell EMC SC Series array. However, the customer wants to postpone the run until the end of the quarter because there could be more activity on the current storage system.
What course of action is recommended?

Answer options

• A. Wait until the end of the quarter and collect a week-long sampling
• B. Take a single-day sampling on any given day because that is sufficient in most instances
• C. Wait until the end of the quarter and collect a single-day sampling
• D. Take a week-long sampling on any given week because that is sufficient in most instances

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because collecting a week-long sampling at the end of the quarter allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the storage system's performance during peak activity. Options B and D suggest insufficient data collection methods, and option C does not take advantage of the potential increased activity that could provide valuable insights.
