Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, vSAN Ready Nodes — Question 3

A protection policy with snapshot and replication rules is applied to a file system. What is the result?

Answer options

• A. Applying the protection policy to the file system fails
• B. Replication rules get ignored and only snapshot rules get applied
• C. Both replication and snapshot rules get applied
• D. Snapshot rules get ignored and only replication rules get applied

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because when a protection policy with both snapshot and replication rules is applied, the system prioritizes snapshot rules and ignores replication rules. This means that while snapshots are taken, any replication settings do not take effect, which is why options A, C, and D are incorrect.
