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

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?

AFailover has not completed so the writes have not been distributed to the Journal

BApplication writes are to an XtremlO snapshot and are not stored in the Journal

CJournals on XtremlO arrays are virtual and do not track the writes

DApplication writes are stored in RPA memory when using the XtremlO array

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.

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

Dorian 11 months ago

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

Winfred 11 months ago

Wait, are we sure about that? What if it's A?

Quentin 11 months ago

Totally agree, B makes the most sense here.

Hoa 11 months ago

I think it's B, the writes are going to a snapshot.

Willodean 12 months ago

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

Charlene 12 months ago

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

Sharee 12 months ago

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.

Eric 1 year ago

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.

Reta 1 year ago

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.

James 1 year ago

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.

Glory 1 year ago

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.

Lizbeth 1 year ago

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.

Ah, the joys of certification exams. Where the right answer is always the one you didn't choose. Time to dust off my crystal ball and see what the future holds.

This question is as clear as mud. I'm just going to guess and hope for the best. Maybe I'll get lucky and the answer will come to me in a dream.

C) Journals on XtremlO arrays are virtual and do not track the writes

A) Failover has not completed so the writes have not been distributed to the Journal

B) Application writes are to an XtremlO snapshot and are not stored in the Journal

Haydee 1 year ago

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.

User 2: No, I believe the failover has not completed so the writes have not been distributed to the Journal.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm going to go with option D - the application writes are stored in RPA memory when using the XtremlO array.

User4: Could be. Or maybe the application writes are to an XtremlO snapshot and are not stored in the Journal.

User3: I'm not sure, but I think failover has not completed so the writes have not been distributed to the Journal.

User2: That makes sense. Maybe that's why it's not advancing.

User1: I think the Image Access log capacity is static because the application writes are stored in RPA memory when using the XtremlO array.

Lachelle 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure the Journals on XtremlO arrays are virtual and don't track the writes, so option C is the right choice here.

The Image Access log capacity is static because the application writes are to an XtremlO snapshot, not the Journal. Option B is the correct answer.

Got it, thanks for clarifying!

Carli 1 year ago

Yes, that's correct. The application writes are not stored in the Journal.

So you believe that option B is the correct answer?

I think the Image Access log capacity is static because the application writes are to an XtremlO snapshot, not the Journal.

Samira 2 years ago

Hmm, that makes sense too. Maybe we should review the material again to be sure.

Darrin 2 years ago

I disagree, I believe the correct answer is B) Application writes are to an XtremlO snapshot and are not stored in the Journal.

Samira 2 years ago

I think the answer is A) Failover has not completed so the writes have not been distributed to the Journal.
