The exam is not that simple. I passed it, but I have found that i have to learn a lot more about remote replication for VNX.

I am hoping to take the 547 in Jan/Feb…do you know if they will update it to cover anything “new” or additional?
Hi Paul.
To my knowledge there is some extra section for replication technologies during this exam. It woudn’t hurt to learn a little bit about mirroview, recoverpoint etc.
