Dell EMC D-RP-DY-A-24 Exam - Topic 7 Question 18 Discussion

Actual exam question for Dell EMC's D-RP-DY-A-24 exam
Question #: 18
Topic #: 7
[All D-RP-DY-A-24 Questions]

The production and remote copies of a Consistency Group are hosted on XtremlO arrays. During application testing of the remote copy, the Image Access log capacity

does not advance.

Why is the Image Access log capacity static?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The snapshots that represent the point-in-time images during normal replication are kept:

C . In the Journal pool on the XtremIO array containing the production volume

Explanation: In a RecoverPoint system, the Journal volumes are used to store the snapshots that represent the point-in-time images of the data being replicated. When both the production and copy volumes are provisioned from XtremIO arrays, the Journal pool on the XtremIO array containing the production volume is utilized to store these snapshots during normal replication.

Reference: Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 6.0.1 vSphere HTML5 Plugin Administrator's Guide, Chapter on Journal Sizing and Management.

D sounds odd, why would writes be in memory instead of the journal?

C is a bit misleading, journals do track writes in some cases.

I feel like option D could be a possibility since RPA memory might be involved, but I need to double-check that concept.

I vaguely recall that journals on XtremlO arrays could be virtual, but I can't remember if that means they don't track writes.

I think option B sounds familiar; it might be that the application writes are going to a snapshot instead of the Journal.

I remember something about failover processes, but I'm not sure if it directly relates to the Image Access log not advancing.

Ah, I see now. Option B seems to be the correct answer - the writes are going to an XtremlO snapshot, not the Journal, which is why the log capacity isn't changing. I feel pretty confident about this one.

I think I've got a strategy here. The key is to identify where the writes are actually being stored, since that will determine why the Image Access log capacity isn't advancing. I'll carefully consider each option and try to eliminate the ones that don't make sense.

I'm a bit confused by the options here. I'm not sure I fully understand the relationship between the Journal, XtremlO snapshots, and RPA memory. I'll need to review those concepts before I can confidently select an answer.

Okay, let's see. The question mentions the Consistency Group is hosted on XtremlO arrays, so I'll need to focus on understanding how XtremlO handles the Journal and writes.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different options carefully to figure out what's causing the static Image Access log capacity.

Wait, I thought failover was the issue. Shouldn't the writes have been distributed to the Journal if the failover wasn't complete? I'll have to go with option A.
