Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Unity XT — Question 30

A customer has invested much time using the Dell PS Series Host Integration Toolkit (HIT) to integrate SAN snapshot protection with Microsoft SQL Server native snapshot technology. The customer expresses concern about whether Dell EMC SC Series cross-platform replication supports that capability.
What should be your response?

Answer options

• A. Recreate integration on the SC Series array and use only SC-to-SC replication for those volumes.
• B. Leverage the integration investment and use only PS-to-PS replication on those volumes.
• C. Cross-platform replication works with SC Series HIT integrations.
• D. Cross-platform replication works with PS Series HIT integrations.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the customer has already invested in the Dell PS Series HIT, and using PS-to-PS replication allows them to continue leveraging that integration. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest using the SC Series or cross-platform capabilities, which do not support the existing PS Series integration.
