Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-RP-DY-A-24 exam
Question #: 17
Topic #: 4
[All D-RP-DY-A-24 Questions]

A storage administrator wants to implement a new RecoverPoint with VNX(SE) cluster using virtual RPAs in their VMware environment. The administrator wants to ensure

the highest availability for all communication within the cluster.

What is the recommended number of virtual switches required for this type of configuration?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

For ensuring the highest availability for all communication within a RecoverPoint with VNX(SE) cluster using virtual RPAs in a VMware environment, it is recommended to use at least 2 virtual switches. This setup allows for redundancy and load balancing, which are crucial for maintaining high availability and preventing single points of failure.

2 switches? Are you kidding me? This is a mission-critical RecoverPoint cluster, not a lemonade stand! Definitely gotta go with the 4 switches.
