Question #: 14
Topic #: 3

A storage administrator is unable to perform Direct Access to a copy in their RecoverPoint environment. Which array type has this limitation with regards to RecoverPoint copies?

AVMAX

BVNX

CXtremIO

DVPLEX

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

In a Dell RecoverPoint environment, Direct Access mode allows for write access to a replica volume during testing or other scenarios. However, when using XtremIO arrays, Direct Access mode is not available because XtremIO handles replication differently compared to other array types. Instead, XtremIO uses its snapshot technology, which does not support Direct Access in the same way as traditional replication methods1.

Here's why Direct Access is limited with XtremIO:

XtremIO Snapshot Technology: XtremIO arrays use snapshot technology for replication, which is different from the replication methods used by other array types like VMAX, VNX, or VPLEX.

Direct Access Mode: This mode typically allows a replica volume to be mounted and written to directly, but due to the way XtremIO handles snapshots, this functionality is not supported.

RecoverPoint Integration: RecoverPoint integrates with XtremIO to provide replication and disaster recovery solutions, but the Direct Access feature is not compatible with XtremIO's snapshot-based replication1.

Therefore, when using XtremIO arrays in a RecoverPoint environment, administrators need to be aware of this limitation and plan their disaster recovery and testing strategies accordingly1.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards A) VMAX, but I better double-check my storage array trivia before I commit to an answer.

Wow, this question really separates the storage admins from the storage comedians. I bet the answer is C) XtremIO, though I could be 'XtremIO-tivated' on this one.

D) VPLEX seems like the right choice here. I remember reading about VPLEX's limitations with Direct Access to RecoverPoint copies.

VNX, for sure. It's like the Swiss Army Knife of storage, but sometimes it can't decide which tool to use.

I disagree, I believe the answer is C) XtremIO because it also has limitations with Direct Access in RecoverPoint.
