Full set: 91 questions
Answer options
A: System performance statistics Correct answer
B: System cleaning performance details
C: Disk I/O performance details for a designated interval
D: System CPU/Memory performance details for a designated interval
Correct Answer:
A. System performance statistics
Explanation

The system show performance command on a PowerProtect DD appliance provides a high-level, real-time overview of key system performance statistics. The output typically includes metrics such as overall system CPU utilization (busy percentage), and total network throughput (kilobytes per second, in and out). This command is used for a quick assessment of the system's current workload and health, summarizing multiple performance aspects into a single view.

Why Incorrect

B. Cleaning performance has its own specific commands, such as filesys clean show status, not the general system performance command.
C. Disk-specific I/O details are typically displayed using more granular commands like disk show performance or iostat.
D. While CPU/Memory details are part of the output, the command also shows network statistics, making this option an incomplete description.
