EMC Proven Professional – PowerProtect Specialist — Question 4

What is the function of an EMC Avamar spare node?

Answer options

• A. Load balance the utility node
• B. Dynamically grow capacity
• C. Replace a failed data node
• D. NDMP accelerator

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the spare node is designed to dynamically increase the system's storage capacity when required. Option A is incorrect because load balancing is not the primary function of a spare node. Option C is wrong as a spare node does not directly replace a failed data node, and option D refers to NDMP acceleration, which is unrelated to the role of a spare node.
