   A Metro Node cluster has a distributed device that is currently in 'Optimal' state. The administrator needs to perform maintenance on the back-end storage array at Site A. What will happen to the distributed device during this maintenance window?

   • AThe device will continue to serve I/O from Site B while Site A's back-end is offline
   • BThe device will automatically fail over to a snapshot taken before maintenance
   • CThe device will become completely unavailable until maintenance is complete
   • DThe device will switch to asynchronous replication mode

   A Metro Node cluster has a distributed device that is in 'Degraded' state because Site B's back-end storage is offline. The administrator needs to restore the device to 'Optimal' state. What is the correct sequence of actions?

   • ARestore Site B's back-end storage, then verify that the distributed device resynchronizes and returns to 'Optimal'
   • BFail over the distributed device to Site A and leave it there permanently
   • CDelete the distributed device and recreate it from scratch
   • DTake a snapshot of the distributed device and restore it to Site B

   An administrator is configuring a distributed device and must decide which back-end volumes to use. Site A has a high-performance all-flash array, while Site B has a lower-cost hybrid array. What is the recommended approach for selecting the local devices?

   • AUse volumes of the same size and type from each array, accepting that performance will be limited by the slower array
   • BUse a smaller volume on the faster array to balance performance
   • CUse volumes of different types but the same size
   • DUse a larger volume on the slower array to compensate for performance
