Question #: 18
Topic #: 7

A Consistency Group contains a production and a remote copy. Both are provisioned from XtremlO arrays. Where are the snapshots that represent the point-in-time

images kept during normal replication?

AIn the Journal pool on the XtremIO array containing the copy volume

BOn the XtremlO array containing the production volume

CIn the Journal pool on the XtremlO array containing the production volume

DOn the XtremlO array containing the copy volume

Show Suggested Answer

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.

Haha, the snapshots are obviously kept in the journal pool on the production array. Come on, guys, this is Storage 101.

D, because who keeps snapshots on the copy? That's just silly. Next question, please!

I agree with Carri, having the snapshots on the production volume array would simplify management and recovery processes.

I'm pretty sure the snapshots are stored on the XtremIO array with the production volume, not the copy volume. This is a basic replication concept.
