Which tool is used to replicate volumes between PowerFlex clusters?

Options

• AVolume Manager
• BStorage Data Server
• CReplication Engine
• DSnapshot Scheduler

• C
  87% (33)
• D
  8% (3)

Explanation

Replication Engine (C) is the dedicated PowerFlex component responsible for replicating volumes between clusters, enabling disaster recovery and data mobility across geographically separated PowerFlex deployments.

• Volume Manager (A) handles provisioning, mapping, and lifecycle management of volumes within a single cluster - it has no cross-cluster replication capability.
• Storage Data Server (B) is a core PowerFlex node that stores actual data chunks; it's infrastructure, not a replication orchestrator.
• Snapshot Scheduler (D) automates point-in-time snapshots locally - useful for backup policies, but snapshots stay within the same cluster.

Memory tip: Think "Engine" = motion across distance. The Replication Engine is what drives data from one cluster to another, just like a car engine moves you from city to city.
