Which prerequisites must be met to enable replication between PowerFlex clusters? (Choose two)

Question

Options

• AConfigure network connectivity between clusters
• BEnable snapshot scheduling on both clusters
• CAssign replication roles to volumes
• DDefine VLAN tagging for replication traffic

• A
  77% (27)
• B
  9% (3)
• D
  14% (5)

Explanation

Enabling replication between PowerFlex clusters requires two foundational elements: network connectivity (A) so the clusters can actually communicate and transfer data, and assigning replication roles to volumes (C) because PowerFlex must explicitly designate which volumes participate in replication before any data movement can occur. Without both, the replication relationship simply cannot be established.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (snapshot scheduling): Snapshots are a separate feature; while replication may use snapshots internally, scheduling them is not a prerequisite for enabling replication.
• D (VLAN tagging): VLAN tagging is a network configuration detail that may or may not be used depending on the environment - it is not a universal prerequisite for replication.

Memory tip: Think "Connect, then Commit" - first connect the clusters (network), then commit specific volumes to the replication relationship (roles). Everything else is optional configuration on top of those two essentials.
