Dell EMC D-RP-OE-A-24 Exam - Topic 1 Question 13 Discussion

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

Question #: 13
Topic #: 1

An administrator wants to integrate Site Recovery Manager (SRM) with RecoverPoint. Where should the RecoverPoint storage replication adapter be installed?

AOn a newly installed server

BOn servers running SRM service only

COn servers running VCenter only

DOn the same servers running VCenter and the SRM service

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To integrate Site Recovery Manager (SRM) with RecoverPoint, the storage replication adapter is a critical component that allows SRM to manage RecoverPoint replication properly. The installation steps are as follows:

Identify SRM Servers: Determine which servers are running the VMware Site Recovery Manager service.

Install SRA: Install the RecoverPoint SRA on each of the SRM server hosts at both the recovery and protected sites.

Verify Installation: Ensure that the SRA is correctly installed and recognized by the SRM service.

Configure Replication: Use the SRA within SRM to configure and manage replication settings for disaster recovery.

It's important to use the most current version of the SRA to ensure optimal compatibility and available features. The SRA can be downloaded from the VMware website, and the SRA release notes and product documentation should be consulted to determine compatibility with SRM versions1.

Nah, it’s definitely not just on VCenter alone.

I'm leaning towards option D as well, but I wish I had reviewed the specifics of the adapter installation more thoroughly.

I feel like it might be option B, but that doesn't sound right since SRM needs to communicate with vCenter too.

I remember a practice question that mentioned the importance of having both services on the same server for integration. Could it be option D?

I think the adapter needs to be installed on the same servers running both SRM and vCenter, but I'm not entirely sure.

I think the key here is that the adapter needs to be on the same servers as the SRM service, not the vCenter servers. That makes the most sense to me based on how SRM and RecoverPoint work together.

Okay, let me break this down. SRM is the component that integrates with RecoverPoint, so the adapter should be installed on the SRM servers. I'm confident that's the right approach.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'm not sure if the adapter needs to be on the SRM servers, the vCenter servers, or both. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the RecoverPoint storage replication adapter needs to be installed on the servers running the SRM service, since SRM is the component that integrates with RecoverPoint.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the PRINCE2 program management framework has a lot of different documents, and I can't quite remember which one is specifically for identifying and defining the program. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I wonder if the RecoverPoint storage replication adapter comes with a free sandwich. That would make this a much more appetizing question.

Option D is the way to go, but I hope the exam doesn't ask us to draw a diagram of the setup. I'm terrible at those stick figure diagrams.

As an administrator, I'd prefer to keep things as simple as possible. Installing the adapter on the same servers as VCenter and SRM makes the most sense to me.

Option D seems like the obvious choice here. Why would you want to install the adapter on a separate server? That just seems like a hassle.
