Which RPA type(s) connect to protected storage using iSCSI?

AvRPA only

BGen-6 and vRPA

CGen-6 only

DGen-5 and Gen-6

Suggested Answer: A

In Dell EMC RecoverPoint, virtual RPAs (vRPAs) use iSCSI protocol for connections. This is because vRPAs are designed to operate in virtual environments where iSCSI is commonly used for storage networking due to its ability to work over standard IP networks. Physical RPAs, such as Gen-5 and Gen-6, typically use Fibre Channel (FC) for direct storage connectivity1.

Here's a breakdown of the connectivity:

vRPA: Utilizes iSCSI for connections to protected storage. This is suitable for virtualized environments where the RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines (RP4VMs) operates.

Gen-5 and Gen-6 RPAs: These are physical appliances that generally use Fibre Channel for connectivity, which is more common in physical data center environments where dedicated storage networks are present1.

It's important to choose the correct RPA type based on the storage infrastructure and connectivity requirements of the environment1.

Yeah, I agree with B. Makes sense!

Hortencia 11 months ago

Wait, are you sure about Gen-5? That seems off.

Toi 11 months ago

Definitely B, both Gen-6 and vRPA!

Luisa 11 months ago

I thought Gen-6 could do that too?

Mabel 11 months ago

vRPA is the only one that connects via iSCSI.

Dolores 12 months ago

I’m pretty confident that Gen-5 and Gen-6 are involved, but I need to double-check my notes on iSCSI connections.

Olive 12 months ago

I’m leaning towards Gen-6 only, but I might be mixing it up with another topic we covered.

Mozelle 12 months ago

I feel like I saw a question about this in practice, and it mentioned both Gen-6 and vRPA, but I can't recall the details.

Jamal 1 year ago

I think I remember that only the vRPA connects to protected storage using iSCSI, but I'm not entirely sure.

Ranee 1 year ago

Okay, let me see. I believe Gen-6 RPA is the latest generation, so that's probably the one that connects to protected storage using iSCSI.

Santos 1 year ago

Hmm, I remember learning about iSCSI in class, but I can't recall which RPA types use it. I'll have to review my notes.

Stevie 1 year ago

I'm not too familiar with the different RPA types, so I'll have to think this through carefully.

Dominga 1 year ago

I'm pretty confident that both Gen-6 and vRPA connect to protected storage using iSCSI, but I'll double-check my understanding just to be sure.

Lauran 1 year ago

I'm not totally sure about this one. I might need to review some regex basics before attempting to solve it.

Peggy 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to think it through carefully. Maybe I should review the documentation on the DRM web service API.

Wait, there are different generations of RPA? I'm still using a Gen-1 toaster.

I didn't know that. I guess I need to upgrade from my Gen-1 toaster.

Lenna 2 years ago

↳ replying to Andree

Yes, there are different generations of RPA. Gen-6 and vRPA connect to protected storage using iSCSI.

Oliva 2 years ago

I thought vRPA was all about the cloud, why would it need iSCSI?

Ellen 2 years ago

↳ replying to Oliva

C) Gen-6 only

Cammy 2 years ago

↳ replying to Oliva

B) Gen-6 and vRPA

Princess 2 years ago

↳ replying to Oliva

A) vRPA only

Mari 2 years ago

I believe it's D) Gen-5 and Gen-6 because of the compatibility.

Kasandra 2 years ago

Gen-6 is the way to go, iSCSI is the future!

Norah 2 years ago

↳ replying to Kasandra

Yes, Gen-6 and vRPA are the ones that connect to protected storage using iSCSI.

Cordelia 2 years ago

↳ replying to Kasandra

I agree, Gen-6 is definitely the way to go for iSCSI connectivity.

Kenny 2 years ago

I'm not sure, but I think it might be C) Gen-6 only.

Mirta 2 years ago

I agree with Abraham, Gen-6 and vRPA make sense.

Abraham 2 years ago

I think it's B) Gen-6 and vRPA.
