Full set: 235 questions
Answer options
A: Avamar Procedure Generator Correct answer
B: Dell Backup System Sizer
C: TS-Kit Configuration Guide
D: TS-Kit Test Plan
Correct Answer:
A. Avamar Procedure Generator
Explanation

The Avamar Procedure Generator (APG) is the official and mandatory Dell tool for creating a complete, customized, step-by-step guide for implementing an Avamar server. It prompts the user for specific details about the environment, such as hardware model, software version, and network configuration. It then generates a unique document containing all necessary pre-installation checks, installation tasks, and post-installation validation steps in the correct sequence. This ensures consistency, accuracy, and adherence to Dell's best practices for every deployment.

Why Incorrect

B. The Dell Backup System Sizer is a pre-sales and planning tool used to determine the correct size and model of an Avamar system, not to guide its implementation.
C. The TS-Kit Configuration Guide is a generic document. The APG provides a procedure that is specifically tailored to the customer's unique configuration.
D. The TS-Kit Test Plan is a document used for system validation and testing after the implementation is complete, not a guide for the implementation process itself.
