Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerEdge Server — Question 64

The Reserved Capacity for a PowerMax Storage Resource Pool (SRP) has been set to 15%. A TimeFinder SnapVX snapshot has been created for a Storage Group containing 10 devices. An application is actively performing read and write I/Os to these devices. The snapshot is linked to the target in Copy mode. Allocation for the SRP reaches 85%.

What will happen to the copy process?

Answer options

• A. Array increases compression to free up space
• B. Copy to target will continue and complete
• C. Copy to target will fail
• D. Copy to target will halt

Correct answer: D

Explanation

When the allocation for the SRP reaches 85%, it exceeds the reserved capacity, which could lead to resource constraints. In this case, the copy process cannot continue and will halt as there is insufficient space to maintain the snapshot operations.
