What is an accurate statement about XtremIO XVC refresh operations?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

XtremIO XVC (XtremIO Virtual Copies) allows for efficient snapshot management and operations, including the refresh of volumes. One of the key features of XVC is that it enables the refresh of a production volume from a snapshot without requiring the volume to be unmounted from the host. This capability is designed to minimize disruption and maintain continuous availability of data to applications during refresh operations. The refresh operation is handled within the XtremIO storage array, and the production volume remains accessible to the host during this process1.


The Dell XtremIO Design Achievement document provides information on the capabilities and features of XtremIO X2 systems, including XVC operations1.

Additional details on XVC refresh operations can be found in the support documentation for the XtremIO Family on Dell's official website2.

Wait, refreshed volume can't be resized? That’s surprising!

B is the way to go. O/S side device scan is not required for XVC refresh, saving time and effort.

D is the right answer. Refreshed volumes cannot be resized, which is an important limitation to be aware of.

I always get confused between XVC and XVR. This question is a good reminder to brush up on my XtremIO terminology.

I’m pretty certain that refreshed volumes can be resized, but I remember some confusion around that in practice questions.

I vaguely recall that snapshot-to-production refresh is the only method supported, but I need to double-check that.

I think I remember that O/S side device scan is actually not needed, but I'm not completely sure.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not super familiar with the specifics of XtremIO refresh operations. I'll have to make an educated guess and hope I can eliminate a couple of the options.

Ah yes, I remember learning about XVC refresh in class. I believe the accurate statement is B - the O/S side device scan is not required. But I'll double-check the other options to be sure.

Okay, let me see... I know XtremIO has some specific refresh capabilities, but I'm drawing a blank on the details. I'll have to review my notes to make sure I get this right.

I feel like we discussed that unmounting a production volume is usually required for refresh operations, but I could be mixing it up with another topic.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I remember something about snapshot-to-production refresh, but I can't recall if that's the only option supported. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think I know this one - I'm pretty sure the answer is C, since XtremIO doesn't require unmounting the production volume for a refresh.
