Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, vSAN Ready Nodes — Question 20

A SQL Cluster with attached PowerStore storage has Volumes SQL1, SQL2, SQL4, SQL5 which all require write order preservation. The SQL administrator no longer requires SQL4 and has removed it from the database. The Storage Administrator goes to delete volume SQL4 and finds that the option is grayed out.
Why is the option to delete the volume unavailable?

Answer options

• A. SQL4 was renamed from SQL3
• B. SQL4 still has replications
• C. SQL4 is part of a volume group
• D. SQL4 still has snapshots

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because if SQL4 still has replications, it cannot be deleted until those replications are cleared. The other options do not apply here: A is incorrect as renaming does not prevent deletion, C is not relevant unless it specifically restricts deletion, and D would indicate that snapshots are present, but this situation specifically points to replication as the issue.
