A Metro Node cluster experiences a complete failure of Site A, including the Metro Node directors and back-end storage. Site B is still operational. What happens to the distributed devices in the cluster?

The distributed devices become read-only until Site A is restored

The distributed devices become unavailable until Site A is restored

The distributed devices automatically fail over to a snapshot at Site B

The distributed devices remain available from Site B, and I/O continues without interruption

An administrator notices that a distributed device in a Metro Node cluster is showing 'Degraded' status. The device is still accessible from both sites, but performance has dropped. What is the most likely cause of this state?

The distributed device has been placed in read-only mode for maintenance

One of the two sites has lost connectivity to the distributed device's back-end storage

The host server has exceeded its maximum queue depth to the device

The distributed device's snapshot schedule has failed

Which of the following is a key parameter that must be specified when configuring a distributed device in Dell Metro Node?

The IP address of the remote Metro Node cluster

The storage volume size in gigabytes

The RAID level of the underlying storage array

The distributed device name and the distributed system it belongs to

A financial services firm is deploying Metro Node to provide active-active access to a critical application. The compliance team requires that the application's data be readable and writable from both data centers at all times, with no single point of failure at the storage layer. What is the primary purpose of using a distributed device in this design?

To replicate data asynchronously between two independent volumes for disaster recovery

To provide a cache tier that accelerates reads from the local site only

To enable snapshots of the volume to be taken independently at each site

To present a single storage volume that is accessible from both sites concurrently

A university runs a research application that requires a shared filesystem accessible from two campuses. The IT team has deployed Metro Node and created a distributed device. What is the most appropriate next step to make the distributed device usable by the application?

Replicate the distributed device to a third site

Create a filesystem on the distributed device and mount it on hosts at both campuses

Present the distributed device as a raw LUN to the application without a filesystem

Configure the distributed device as a snapshot target
