Question 1: During scheduled network maintenance, Alert 120 is triggered indicating loss of inter-site connectivity between two ActiveCluster arrays; the mediator remains online. How does this impact data availability and RPO, and what should you verify as a data owner?

A. The winning array immediately continues servicing I/O with 0 RPO and one has to validate host multipathing and confirm current quorum status.

B. All I/O is paused until connectivity is restored, and the arrays will require manual resynchronization for failback.

C. Data becomes immediately stale on the disconnected site and RPO increases until network restoration.

Question 2: In an SSO-enabled enterprise, new users are given the SafeMode Approver role, but it remains inactive. What must be done to activate it?

A. At least two existing approvers must authorize the role via the Requests tab; assignment alone doesn't activate it.

B. The role is active immediately once assigned in SSO; no further action is needed.

C. Only Everpure Technical Services can activate SafeMode Approver roles for SSO users following a support ticket review.

Question 3: A media workflow uses separate protection groups (Pgroups) for video and graphics on a shared array. During backups, both report high latency and performance degradation. How can contention between Pgroups be reduced?

A. Assign volume-level data reduction settings independently, but leave Pgroup scheduling unchanged.

B. Merge all volumes from both teams into one large protection group and run a single snapshot schedule.

C. Stagger snapshot schedules for each protection group to avoid simultaneous heavy write workloads.

Question 4: A storage administrator would like to modify an existing snapshot policy to take a snapshot at 1:00AM every day and keep the snapshot for 1 week. How should the administrator achieve this using the FlashArray GUI?

A. Add a policy rule

B. Add a policy member

C. Edit the policy details

Question 5: How to troubleshoot a "certificate not trusted" error?

A. Check if the certificate Is signed. Verify the certificate chain. Check certificate format. Check certificate expiry.

B. Check if the certificate Is self-signed. Verify the certificate chain. Check certificate format. Check certificate expiry.

C. Import the certificate using REST API interface only.

Question 6: File data on FlashBlade A must be visible in two additional locations, FlashBlades B and C. In order to replicate the data from A->B->C, which option must be enabled on FlashBlade B?

A. Cascading

B. Fan out

C. Offload

Question 7: An Array A, configured in an ActiveCluster, experiences a loss of only the replication link to Array B. Pod A has a preference set for Array A and Pod B has a preference set for Array B. Once each array initiates the race to the mediator, Array B takes 3 seconds less to reach the mediator. Which array will remain online and servicing I/O for Pod A?

A. Array A

B. Array B

C. Neither. I/O is paused until the replication link comes back.

Question 8: An array administrator is configuring ActiveDR and needs to ask the network engineer for IP addresses. The array already has five management IP addresses configured. What is the minimum number of additional IP addresses they need to ask for?

A. Two

B. Four

C. Five

Question 9: A new container-based Tier-1 application has been deployed with Portworx Enterprise. Because it requires Zero RPO replication and fast failover, which replication mode is appropriate, and what is the maximum network latency allowed?

A. Synchronous, 10ms

B. Asynchronous, 11ms

C. Either Synchronous or Asynchronous, 11ms

Question 10: A Everpure Resilience service deployment has been created with an AWS site What port must be open and routable from the Edge Appliance on-premises to both Pure1 Cloud and AWS API endpoints?

A. 443

B. 22

C. 902

Question 11: Which Everpure replication technology combination would satisfy at least a near-zero RPO for active workloads across two data centers, while also providing a third-site, point-in-time recovery capability for cyber resilience?

A. ActiveDR with asynchronous replication

B. ActiveCluster for sync replication plus async to a third site with SafeMode snapshots

C. Asynchronous replication only, hub-and-spoke to two recovery sites

Question 12: Which of the following is a core principle of Layered Resilience Architecture in enterprise data protection?

A. Centralizing layered backups across multiple storage devices in a single data center

B. Applying multiple, distinct layers of recovery points across local, replicated, and isolated storage locations

C. Relying on a combination of intrusion prevention and detection software, along with endpoint antivirus software for resilience

Question 13: How is an array anomaly easily identified in a Pure1 Assessment?

A. The anomaly is identified by the lightning bolt in the appliance honeycomb view of the Security Assessment.

B. The anomaly is identified by looking at the array lists on the assets page.

C. The anomaly is identified by clicking on the alert button at the top of the Data Protection Assessment.

Question 14: How does the Snapshot Retention Add-on enhance cyber resilience for Evergreen//One customers?

A. It enables automatic detection and removal of malware stored in snapshots.

B. It increases the predictability and simplicity of snapshot retention, allowing organizations to confidently implement data protection policies that support rapid recovery after a cyber incident.

C. It provides unlimited free storage for all snapshots, regardless of retention settings or policy compliance.

Question 15: Which of the following best describes how Everpure's Everpure Fusion platform enhances cyber resilience?

A. It provides a separate, air-gapped backup solution that is physically isolated from the primary network to prevent ransomware from spreading.

B. It automates storage provisioning and policy enforcement across a fleet of arrays, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring security standards are consistently applied.

C. It uses a built-in firewall and intrusion detection system on each storage array to actively block malicious traffic and prevent unauthorized access.
