Dell EMC D-RP-DY-A-24 Exam - Topic 1 Question 19 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-RP-DY-A-24 exam

Question #: 19
Topic #: 1

A company has a RecoverPoint with VNX(SE) cluster with local replication connected to a VNX array. They want to replace the VNX array with a Unity 600F array. All

LUNs from the previous storage will be deleted and new ones will be created in the new storage.

What changes need to be performed in the RecoverPoint cluster?

AConvert RecoverPoint with VNX(SE) to RecoverPoint/EX and add a new Local Replication license using the Unity Serial number

BAdd a new Local Replication license using the Unity Serial number

CRecoverPoint automatically recognizes the Unity array; no new licenses are required

DReplace old the Local Replication license for a new one using the Unity Serial number

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

When configuring zoning for RecoverPoint with VNX(SE), it is essential to follow the best practices and guidelines provided by Dell.

The zoning configuration typically involves manual setup to ensure that the RPA ports and VNX Front End (FE) ports are correctly zoned to allow for proper communication and replication processes1.

The manual method allows for precise control over the zoning configuration, which is crucial for the RecoverPoint system's performance and reliability1.

While automatic zoning might be available in some environments, the recommended and supported method for RecoverPoint with VNX(SE) is manual zoning, as it provides the necessary customization and adherence to best practices1.

For the most accurate and detailed instructions, always refer to the latest official documentation or contact Dell EMC support directly. The information provided here is based on general knowledge of RecoverPoint systems and may not reflect the most recent updates or specific configurations.

I thought that replacing the old license with a new one was the right approach, but I can't remember if that was specifically for Unity or just a general rule.

I feel like we definitely need to add a new Local Replication license with the Unity Serial number, but I'm not completely confident about whether we need to convert to RecoverPoint/EX first.

I think I saw a practice question similar to this, and it mentioned that RecoverPoint might recognize the new Unity array automatically. But I can't recall if that applies here.

I remember something about needing to update licenses when changing storage arrays, but I'm not sure if it's just a replacement or if we need to convert to RecoverPoint/EX.

This seems straightforward. RecoverPoint should automatically recognize the new Unity array, so I don't think any special configuration is needed.

Option D sounds like it might work, but why would we need to replace the old license? Shouldn't we just add a new one for the Unity array?

Option A seems like the right choice here. Converting to RecoverPoint/EX and adding a new Local Replication license for the Unity 600F array is the way to go.
