The system administrator did not enable the Replicate to all sites option while creating a global replication group in a two VDC setup. They plan to set up a third VDC in the future and want a full…

Question

Options

• APut VDCs into maintenance mode to change this setting.
• BCreate a new replication group, and migrate all data to a new replication group.
• CEdit the replication group, and change this setting online.
• DDelete the existing replication group and recreate it with the same name and settings, including

• A
  14% (4)
• B
  41% (12)
• C
  10% (3)
• D
  34% (10)

Explanation

Option B is correct because the "Replicate to all sites" setting on a global replication group is a foundational property that cannot be modified after creation - it is fixed at the time the replication group is made. The only supported path to achieve full three-VDC replication is to create a new replication group with the correct setting enabled, then migrate all existing data into it.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Maintenance mode): Placing VDCs in maintenance mode is used for temporary isolation during hardware or software operations - it does not unlock the ability to change immutable replication group settings.
• C (Edit online): This setting is not editable after creation; the option to change it simply does not exist on an existing replication group, whether online or offline.
• D (Delete and recreate with same name): Deleting the group destroys the configuration and risks data loss; recreating it with the same name doesn't automatically restore or migrate existing data, so objects already stored would not be covered under the new policy.

Memory tip: Think of "Replicate to all sites" like a foundation poured in concrete - you must decide before you build. If you get it wrong, you can't renovate; you have to build a new house (replication group) and move in (migrate data).
