Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, PowerEdge Server — Question 32

The Reserved Capacity for a Storage Resource Pool (SRP) on a VMAX All Flash array is set to 15%. A TimeFinder SnapVX snapshot is created for a Storage Group containing 10 devices. An application is actively performing read and write I/O to these devices. Allocation for the SRP reaches 85%.
What happens to the snapshot?

Answer options

• A. Snapshot persists but new snapshot deltas cannot be created
• B. Snapshot fails
• C. Snapshot deltas are allocated from the Reserved Capacity
• D. Snapshot terminates

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when the allocation exceeds the defined threshold, the snapshot is terminated to prevent any inconsistencies or issues. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect what happens when the SRP reaches its capacity limit.
