Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerEdge Server — Question 34

What is a recommendation when using Open Replicator to migrate data from a supported third-party array to a VMAX3 array?

Answer options

• A. Host I/O to the remote devices on the third-party array should be stopped for the duration of the migration
• B. Host I/O to the control devices on the VMAX3 array is allowed after the migration completes
• C. Host I/O to the remote devices on the third-party array can continue during the migration
• D. Control devices on the VMAX3 array must be set to Not Ready for the duration of the migration

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because stopping Host I/O to the remote devices ensures data consistency during the migration process. Options B and C are incorrect as they either allow I/O during migration or suggest actions that could lead to data inconsistency. Option D is also incorrect because control devices should not be set to Not Ready during the migration to ensure proper functionality.
