Which tasks can be performed with PowerFlex volumes? (Choose two)

Question

Options

• ACreate snapshots
• BConfigure VLAN tagging
• CAssign volumes to protection domains
• DEnable data replication

• B
  4% (2)
• C

Explanation

PowerFlex volumes support snapshot creation (A), allowing point-in-time copies for backup, testing, or recovery scenarios, and data replication (D), enabling volumes to be replicated across sites for disaster recovery and high availability. These are core data protection features built directly into the PowerFlex storage layer.

B is wrong because VLAN tagging is a network/switch-level configuration, not a function performed on storage volumes themselves - it operates at the infrastructure layer, not the storage object layer.

C is wrong because in PowerFlex architecture, protection domains are groupings of Storage Data Servers (SDSs); volumes are created within storage pools, which reside inside protection domains - you don't assign an existing volume directly to a protection domain.

Memory tip: Think "volumes do data things" - Snapshots and Replication both protect data, so they belong to the volume. VLANs are network config and protection domains are infrastructure groupings, neither of which is a volume-level operation.
