EMC Proven Professional – VPLEX Specialist — Question 8

A RecoverPoint administrator needs to add a local copy to three existing Consistency Groups. The RecoverPoint system currently contains 100 Consistency
Groups. Each group has one remote copy with 80 replication sets. Each cluster contains eight physical RPAs.
However, the administrator is unable to add all the local copies. What is a cause for this issue?

Answer options

• A. Consistency Group copy cannot have 1024 volumes within the copy
• B. Cluster has the maximum number of RPAs and cannot be expanded
• C. Addition of the local volumes will exceed the 16K volume limit per cluster
• D. RecoverPoint system needs to be converted to a RP/EX system to support the extra volumes

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a Consistency Group copy is limited to a maximum of 1024 volumes. The other options are incorrect as the cluster can accommodate the current number of RPAs, the volume limit per cluster has not been exceeded, and upgrading to a RP/EX system is not necessary for the current volume requirements.
