EMC Proven Professional – VPLEX Specialist — Question 15

A storage administrator wants to protect their distributed VPLEX volumes using the RecoverPoint, MetroPoint feature. The administrator wants to know if they need to be aware of any special considerations. What information should be provided to the administrator?

Answer options

• A. Set the RecoverPoint Group Policy to enable group writes across RPAs
• B. RecoverPoint does not support replication of distributed VPLEX devices
• C. All VPLEX devices at both sites can be protected using MetroPoint, regardless of whether they are local or distributed
• D. Both VPLEX clusters must have a RecoverPoint cluster connected in order to create a MetroPoint Consistency Group

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because enabling group writes across RPAs is necessary for proper functionality with distributed VPLEX volumes in RecoverPoint. Option B is incorrect as RecoverPoint does support distributed VPLEX devices, while option C is misleading since MetroPoint's protection is contingent on proper configuration. Option D is not accurate as it's not a strict requirement for MetroPoint configuration.
