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?
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.
An administrator wants to integrate Site Recovery Manager (SRM) with RecoverPoint. Where should the RecoverPoint storage replication adapter be installed?
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.
For which type of EMC storage array(s) is the RecoverPoint/BK used for in local backups?
RecoverPoint/BK license mode is for local backup of Data Domain storage. RecoverPoint/BK is system-based licensing for all clusters in a RecoverPoint system:
*Synchronous replication
*Multipath I/O support
*Virtualization hypervisor support for Hyper-V and VMware platforms.
*Integration with VMware vCenter, VMware SRM and vSphere VAAI support
*Built-in bandwidth reduction
*Two to eight RecoverPoint appliances per RPA cluster for failure resiliency and throughput
RecoverPoint/BK Overview:
RecoverPoint/BK is a specialized licensing mode designed for local backup operations specifically aimed at EMC's Data Domain storage systems. It enhances the data protection capabilities by integrating with Data Domain for efficient backup and recovery processes.
Functionality and Features:
Local Backup: The RecoverPoint/BK license mode is particularly utilized for local backups of Data Domain storage arrays. It ensures that the data stored on Data Domain systems can be effectively backed up and restored locally.
Synchronous Replication: Provides real-time data replication between the primary and backup locations to ensure data consistency.
Multipath I/O Support: Ensures high availability and reliability by providing multiple data paths to storage.
Hypervisor Support: Supports virtualization platforms such as Hyper-V and VMware, allowing integration with various virtualized environments.
Integration with VMware: Supports integration with VMware vCenter, VMware SRM, and vSphere VAAI, enabling seamless management and operation within VMware environments.
Bandwidth Reduction: Includes built-in features to reduce bandwidth usage during data replication and backup operations.
Resiliency and Throughput: Supports two to eight RecoverPoint appliances per RPA cluster, enhancing failure resiliency and throughput for robust data protection.
Reference from EMC Documentation:
RecoverPoint/BK license mode is explicitly mentioned for local backups of Data Domain storage arrays, providing a comprehensive data protection solution with advanced features tailored for Data Domain.
Based on the provided details and general documentation from EMC/Dell:
'RecoverPoint/BK license mode is used for local backup of Data Domain storage arrays, offering features such as synchronous replication, multipath I/O support, and integration with VMware platforms' (EMC RecoverPoint documentation, feature summary).
Which RecoverPoint feature allows for the creation of a consistent point-in-time image across multiple Consistency Groups?
A storage administrator has created a new Consistency Group with a remote copy. After enabling the new group, the administrator notices several other
Consistency Groups are experiencing high load alerts.
What is possible cause for the high load conditions?
