@Juan Carlos

Yes. These exams are the same. The 72 prefix indicates its an academic exam (for students). Normally these exams have discounts for students.

I took the 72-450 because I'm still a student.

Good study and good luck!

I did the exam yesterday using Carlos concept and score 838/1000. After failing it twice, the pain behind this is that i had to pay for another exam but thank God I have scaled through.
Nice job Carlos.
I also uploaded some with my own answers too, hope it would help guys.

Carlos one thing i noticed the 21 new question and answers you have put togetter is what i am looking over and looking at the q&a from your recent post today question 24 you say you used answer A but correct answer i thought and says it's correct is answer D and there are couple more i think like that where your answer you recently added after passing is bit different then the 21 new from Carlos Microsoft.selftestengine.70-450.v2011-06-09.by.Carlos-Brazil.21q.vce

Mygot ,

I remember question and it says use of a single sql vip whish means answer has to be 2 node activepassive cluster because it only requires one sql vip . if you create a two node activeactive it will require an additional sql vip for the second instance. will also require seperate san drives for second instance as they connect share same drive.

Carlos

@Mygot

I think the text "All the four instances are sufficiently optimized, and there are no spare CPU cycles or extra memory in the instances." indicates that the number of processors and RAM memory can't be decresed. So, the number of processors and RAM memory had to be maintained.

Mygot

Tuesday, June 14, 2011 11:56 PM UT

Four SQL Server 2008 instances are managed by you. And they are respectively named Ins01, Ins02,
Ins03 and Ins04. A single database application is hosted by each instance.
All four instances should be removed to a new SQL Server failover cluster. You can see the configuration of
the four instances from the table listed below.
All the four instances are sufficiently optimized, and there are no spare CPU cycles or extra memory in the
instances.
All four databases will be hosted by the new cluster on a single virtual cluster IP address.
Since you are the technical support, you are required to set the new cluster to handle the workload of all the
database applications with the least amount of hardware resources.
From the four cluster configuration, which one should be utilized?

why it is not C ? "Two-node active/active cluster should be utilized and a minimum of 9 processors and a 25-GB memory
are
contained by each node."

In question they ask for "the least amount of hardware resources".

Carlos

Tuesday, June 14, 2011 6:56 PM UT

Back to the discussion that "@Lukchard from Hong Kong" initiated at May 22 2011, 9:01 PM, I think the answer would be C because I think the solution would be to force the slow queries to use only one CPU. That way those slow queries won't have CXPackets waits anymore.

Reading the link "http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2010/11/13/sql-server-reducing-cxpacket-wait-stats-for-high-transactional-database/" that @Lukchard posted in May 23 2011, 5:39 AM, I found the piece below which has to do with this scenario:

"..

Now let us see what the best practices to reduce the CXPACKET Wait Stats are.

The suggestions, with which you will find that if you search online through the browser, would play a major role as and might be asked about their jobs In addition, might tell you that you should set ‘maximum degree of parallelism' to 1. I do agree with these suggestions, too; however, I think this is not the final resolutions. As soon as you set your entire query to run on single CPU, you will get a very bad performance from the queries which are actually performing okay when using parallelism.

The best suggestion to this is that you set ‘the maximum degree of parallelism' to a lower number or 1 (be very careful with this - it can create more problems) but tune the queries which can be benefited from multiple CPU's.

You can use query hint OPTION (MAXDOP 0) to run the server to use parallelism.
.."

Based on this explanation, I think the solution for the question's scenario would be preserv the ‘the maximum degree of parallelism' to SQL Server 2008 run with multiple CPUs and set each query that experience CXPACKET waits to use only one CPU.

What do you think guys?

In this my VCE with the 21 new questions I added some explanations and sources from the answers I think they are the correct ones.
Good luck!

Thursday, June 09, 2011 8:56 PM UT

I passed the exam with 815 marks. Three new questions.
For those of you looking for the 21 new question, it alredy contained in Haywire 73 Questions. In other word, Mr E 52 questions add up with the new 21 questions to give 73 questions in Haywire.
So you don't need to waste your time on repetitive questions of over 314 by Phillip.
For the 21 questions I used Sule's answers.
I thank you all for the useful contributions

passedThursday

Saturday, May 28, 2011 10:02 PM UT

I just barley passed 2 days ago using these questions and ensuring that the answers were correct based on reading and everything I could find on the Internet. 14 of the questions have incorrect answers. Either the majority of blogs and technet articles are incorrect or the test is flawed in deciding the correct answer. 4Q wrong for Instances, 2Q wrong Server Security, 3Q wrong for high availability, 2Q wrong for backup and recovery, 2Q wrong for moniotring, 2Q wrong for maintain and managing databases. Also the answers are more close than in the VCE. Affinity answers should no longer be in VCE. When selecting performance and monitor answers, the VCE has 1 BEST answer, but the other 3 to choose from do not belong. The answers should be correct -with just 1 being the BEST andswer for the question. The answer for CDE (or whatever) should be ADE (or whatever) The correct answer is in other vce's here and on the Net. Doesn't matter what is correct or not, the test wants ADE. good luck and you MUST know performance monitor, sysmon, data collector, dynamic events, etc. The answers are 3 of 4 correct- not like 1of 4 on the vce. Last exam was in broken English - this retake was in plain easy to read English with correct grammer and punctuation. First time sucked! reminded me of chatting with programming friends from other countries and trying to figure out what the heck they are trying to say. Also VCE English is WAY better than the 1st exam and much worst than the 2nd.

Guys: regarding the question below from Emir's 21 questions in the pdf, I think the answer should be

"Configure forced service role switching." The two popular answers that have been debated were "Configure

manual failover role switching." and "Configure automatic failover role switching". I may be wrong but
you can refer to this link "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189852.aspx" and read "Operating
Modes" plus "Role Switching".

You administer a SQL Server 2008 instance.
You plan to design a high-availability solution by using database mirroring.
The current application includes programming logic that will retry transactions if a failover occurs.
You need to configure a strategy that will provide the minimum amount of latency for committed
transactions. What should you do?

A. Pause database mirroring.
B. Configure manual failover role switching.
C. Configure forced service role switching.
D. Configure automatic failover role switching.

By the way, do you have any ideas about Q65 and Q66?
For Q65, my answer is B,D and B for Q66.

Howard

Monday, May 23, 2011 4:28 AM UT

@Lukchard - I have looked over this one and been debating the answer as well. I think it should be D. You would only need to add it to the queries that are taking a while as it does state some are running fast. Use it for the slow ones to speed them up. The other way will affect all queries that are being run. Anyone else got and idea?

Lukchard

Sunday, May 22, 2011 9:01 PM UT

I am not sure which is the best answer..B or D?

Designing a new SQL Server instace that will support a web applicaion, the application is running on 32 nodes.
The server has 128 GB memory and 16 processor cores. The application contains 2 databases and supports both OLAP and OLTP workloads.
On testing some queries run extremely slow and some very fast.
To ensure that the server process database queires as fast as possible.
What should I do for BEST answer?

A. Execute exec sp_configure ‘maximum degree of parallesism', 1

B. Execute exec sp_configure ‘maximum degree of parallesism', 8

C. Use SQL Profiler to identify queries tha experience CXPACKET wait. Add (OPTION MAXDOP 1) to each query.

D. Use SQL Profiler to identify queries tha experience CXPACKET wait. Add (OPTION MAXDOP 8) to each query.

Failed the exam two days ago. These are the questions, plus about 5-10 new ones. I do not think these answers are correct. I googled and none of the new questions are around. I actually got like a zero in one area and about 10% in another!!! I actually thought I would easily pass, guess I do not know nearly as much as I thought I did. The exam was actually fun though - no like the prevous 11 or so that I've already taken.
