EMC Content Management Systems Architecture Sample Questions:

1. Batch content retrievals within a 1GigE data center are occurring more slowly than desired. The quad core CPU is 60% busy. The internal Ultra-SCSI disk has only 20% of space utilized and 40% of the 4GB of RAM is free . The documents are about 1MB in size. Content Server and database
are on the same host. What is most likely the bottleneck?

A) disk I/O
B) CPU
C) memory
D) network

2. A client is using a three-tiered storage infrastructure (SAN, NAS, and CAS) and wants to implement policies that automatically migrate content after 30 days to the second tier, and then after 90 days to the third tier. What is the minimum additional software needed to accomplish this objective?

A) Content Storage Services (CSS)
B) RPS and CSS
C) Centera SDK and CSS
D) Retention Policy Services (RPS)

3. Webtop Search provides the ability to save results along with a saved search.What happens if a Webtop user opens a saved search but does not have permission to browse one or more objects in the saved result set?

A) Users will not be allowed to view the saved search result set.
B) Users will see objects for which they do not have browse permission when the search result set is viewed, and they will be able to operate on those objects
C) Users will see objects for which they do not have browse permission when the search result set is viewed, but they will not be able to operate on the objects.
D) Users will not see objects for which they do not have browse permission when the search result set is viewed.

4. You have a Content Server installed on UNIX and users set up in a Windows NT domain.
How would you set up the authentication so that it requires minimal changes to the existing environment and is cost effective?

A) There is no need to change anything. The default authentication would first attempt to authenticate the user on the UNIX operating system and then automatically fallback to the Windows domain.
B) You migrate the NT domain users to an LDAP server and set up the repository to synchronize users with LDAP server.
C) You migrate the NT domain users to Active Directory and set up the repository to synchronize users with Active Directory.
D) You edit the existing dm_check_password and customize it to authenticate the UNIX users on the Windows domain.

5. A month ago, your project team deployed a workflow with five auto activities and three manual activities. Your System Administrator informs you that the workflow's performance is slow.What is a possible cause of this performance problem?

A) The custom code within the auto activity is a resource intensive process.
B) There are many unfinished Work Items within the dmi_package objects.
C) The workflow's definition is not fully separated from its runtime instantiation.
D) The custom code within the manual activity is a CPU intensive process.
