Question # 14

A customer must be absolutely certain that there will be no performance impact of multiView snapshots on a key financial database. How can multiView and multiCopy be used together to satisfy the customer's requirement?

A.

multiView can be used to take a PiT copy. Additional PiTs can then be taken off the first PiT for test and development.

B.

multiCopy can be used to copy the database to another storage array. multiView can then be used to take low capacity PiTs of the copy for test and development.

C.

multiCopy will create a steady stream of data to a copy area. multiView can then be used to take PiTs whenever they are required for test and development.

D.

MultiView can be set to only read the PiT data when the volume is not in use. Requests for PiTs for test and development can therefore be queued.
