A Consistency Group contains a production and a remote copy. Both are provisioned from XtremlO arrays. Where are the snapshots that represent the point-in-time

images kept during normal replication?

AIn the Journal pool on the XtremIO array containing the copy volume

BOn the XtremlO array containing the production volume

CIn the Journal pool on the XtremlO array containing the production volume

DOn the XtremlO array containing the copy volume

Show Suggested 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.

If I recall correctly, the snapshots during normal replication are kept in the Journal pool on the XtremIO array containing the copy volume. That would be option A, right?

I'm a bit confused about this one. I thought snapshots were usually kept on the copy volume, but now I'm second-guessing myself.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the answer was related to where the production volume is located. Could it be option B?

I think the snapshots are stored in the Journal pool on the XtremIO array with the production volume, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm pretty sure the snapshots are kept in the Journal pool on the XtremIO array containing the copy volume, but I'll double-check my notes to be sure.
