An administrator needs to configure replication between two PowerFlex clusters. What steps should they take?

Question

Options

• AEstablish network connectivity between the clusters
• BAssign replication roles to target volumes
• CSchedule snapshot replication tasks
• DEnable VLAN tagging for replication traffic

• A
  81% (42)
• C
  12% (6)
• D
  8% (4)

Explanation

Configuring replication between PowerFlex clusters requires two foundational steps: network connectivity (A) and volume role assignment (B). Without network connectivity, the clusters have no path to communicate or transfer data, making it the essential prerequisite. Assigning replication roles to target volumes defines which volumes participate in the replication relationship and whether they act as the source or destination - this is a required configuration step within the PowerFlex replication framework.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C (Schedule snapshot replication tasks): PowerFlex replication operates as a continuous replication process, not a scheduled snapshot job - scheduling is not part of the initial setup workflow.
• D (Enable VLAN tagging for replication traffic): VLAN tagging is an optional network optimization, not a required step; basic replication can function without it.

Memory tip: Think "Connect, then Configure" - you must first Connect the clusters (network connectivity) before you can Configure the volumes (replication roles). Physical layer before logical layer, always.
