EMC Proven Professional – VPLEX Specialist — Question 4

A storage administrator has one production site and one remote site. The administrator configured the RecoverPoint with VNX (SE) cluster at both sites. The current environment has two Consistency Groups configured with two copies each; one production copy and one remote copy. Based on the company's growing business requirements, the administrator has been asked to keep a local copy of the production data.
Which action should occur in order to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Add a copy into the existing Consistency Group for a local replication
• B. Delete and reconfigure the existing Consistency Group for a local and remote replication
• C. RecoverPoint with VNX (SE) does not support more than two copies in a single Consistency Group
• D. Upgrade the RecoverPoint with VNX (SE) license to RecoverPoint/EX and then reconfigure the Consistency Group

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because upgrading to RecoverPoint/EX allows for more copies within a Consistency Group, which is necessary to add a local copy of the production data. Options A and B do not address the limitation of the current license, while option C is incorrect as the system can support more than two copies with the appropriate license.
