EMC Proven Professional – Symmetrix Solutions Specialist — Question 5

The Reserved Capacity for a Storage Resource Pool (SRP) on a VMAX3 has been set to 15%. A TimeFinder SnapVX snapshot has been created for a Storage
Group containing 10 devices. An application is actively performing read and write I/O to these devices. The snapshot is linked to the target in Copy mode.
Allocation for the SRP reaches 85%.
What will happen to the copy process?

Answer options

• A. Tracks required for the copy will be allocated from the Reserved Capacity
• B. Copy to target will continue and complete
• C. Copy to target will fail
• D. Copy to target will halt

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The copy process will fail because the allocation for the SRP has reached 85%, which exceeds the available capacity for the snapshot copy operation. The Reserved Capacity is not sufficient to accommodate the tracks needed for the copy, leading to the failure of the operation. Other options suggest that the copy will succeed or continue, which is not possible under these conditions.
