Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerEdge Server — Question 76

SRDF/A has been enabled between two PowerMax arrays in Multi-Session Consistency mode. An extended loss of all RDF links occurs. What will the RDF pair states be after link connectivity is restored?

Answer options

• A. Split
• B. Failed Over
• C. Suspended
• D. Partitioned

Correct answer: A

Explanation

When RDF links are lost for an extended period, the state of the RDF pairs will change to 'Split' once connectivity is restored, indicating that the two arrays are no longer synchronized. The 'Failed Over' state indicates that one array has taken over operations, 'Suspended' implies that the RDF session is temporarily halted, and 'Partitioned' indicates that the pairs are unable to communicate but still maintain some level of synchronization.
