EMC Proven Professional – VNX Solutions Specialist — Question 7
An IT service provider is planning to deploy two XtremIO clusters with four X-Bricks each. Both the clusters should be managed by dedicated storage specialists.
What is a consideration for this deployment?
Answer options
- A. One XMS must be deployed for each cluster
- B. Physical XMS is not supported for multi-cluster management
- C. 8912 volumes can be managed by XMS from all clusters
- D. Only 256 volumes are supported per Consistency Group
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A because each XtremIO cluster requires its own XMS for effective management. Option B is incorrect as it misstates the capability of physical XMS in managing multiple clusters. Option C is not relevant to the deployment consideration as it refers to volume management capacity rather than cluster management. Option D addresses volume limits but does not pertain to the necessity of deploying an XMS for each cluster.
