Dell EMC Exam D-RP-OE-A-24 Topic 3 Question 7 Discussion

When the ''Test a Copy'' wizard is in progress in a Dell RecoverPoint environment, it temporarily disconnects the local copy from the production and remote copies to allow testing of the data at a specific point in time without affecting the ongoing replication and production operations. The steps involved are:

Initiate Test a Copy: The administrator starts the ''Test a Copy'' wizard from the RecoverPoint management interface.

Disconnect Local Copy: The wizard disconnects the local copy from the production and remote copies to isolate it for testing.

Perform Testing: The administrator or users perform necessary tests on the local copy, which is now in an isolated state.

Reconnect Local Copy: Once testing is complete, the wizard will reconnect the local copy to resume normal replication and protection operations.

This process ensures that testing can be conducted on a consistent dataset without impacting the production environment or replication processes1.
