Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, vSAN Ready Nodes — Question 9

An administrator assigns a protection policy to a volume group. Volume1, Volume2, Volume3 are put into the volume group. Later it is decided that Volume2 should be replicated at a different time. Volume2 is removed from the volume group. The administrator attempts to assign a new protection policy to Volume2 and the option is greyed out.
Why is the option greyed out?

Answer options

• A. Already has a protection policy from the Volume-Group
• B. Requires a replication rule not a protection policy
• C. Requires a snapshot rule and a replication rule
• D. Still has associated Volume-Group snapshots

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Volume2 retains the protection policy inherited from the volume group, preventing a new policy from being assigned. The other options are incorrect as they imply different requirements or conditions that do not apply in this scenario.
