Dell EMC Expert – Cloud Architect — Question 1

An IT team is preparing to replicate a dataset from their existing primary Dell EMC Isilon cluster to a secondary cluster. Both clusters are licensed for SmartLock Enterprise and SyncIQ is used for replication. The source directory is a SmartLock directory and the target directory must be a SmartLock directory.
When consulting with the IT team, what is a key consideration before running the replication policy?

Answer options

• A. Enable WORM on the target directory after the initial synchronization.
• B. Allow OneFS to create the target directory automatically.
• C. Manually create target SmartLock directory before replicating.
• D. Specify the “root” user that can delete files committed to a WORM state.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because OneFS can automatically create the target directory, ensuring it is properly set up for the replication process. Option A is incorrect as WORM must be enabled on the target directory before synchronization, not after. Option C is not necessary as the directory can be created automatically. Option D is irrelevant to the replication process itself.
