EMC Proven Professional – Symmetrix Solutions Specialist — Question 2

A VMAX3 array has been configured with two Storage Resource Pools (SRP). Source volumes are assigned to SRP_1 and target volumes are assigned to
SRP_2. A TimeFinder SnapVX snapshot of the source volumes is linked to the target volumes in the default mode.
What will happen when there are new host writes to the source volumes?

Answer options

• A. Snapshot deltas will be stored in the Reserved Capacity of SRP_1.
• B. Snapshot deltas will be stored in the Reserved Capacity of SRP_2.
• C. Snapshot deltas will be stored in SRP_2.
• D. Snapshot deltas will be stored in SRP_1.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when new writes occur to the source volumes after a snapshot is taken, the changes are recorded as deltas in the Reserved Capacity of the original Storage Resource Pool (SRP_1) where the source volumes reside. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that the deltas would be stored in SRP_2 or incorrectly imply that SRP_1 does not hold the deltas.
