   A financial services company is designing a PowerFlex cluster for a trading application that requires low latency and high availability. The architect plans to use two Protection Domains: one for the primary data center and one for the disaster recovery site. The application will use synchronous replication between the two sites. What is a critical consideration for this design?

   • AThe disaster recovery site must use a different storage pool to avoid conflicts
   • BProtection Domains cannot span multiple sites, so this design is invalid
   • CSynchronous replication across domains may introduce latency that affects application performance
   • DFault sets must be configured across both domains to ensure replication

   A PowerFlex cluster has a single Protection Domain with two fault sets. Fault set A contains SDSs from rack 1, and fault set B contains SDSs from rack 2. The administrator needs to add new SDSs from rack 3 to the cluster. How should the administrator configure the new SDSs to maintain the same level of resilience?

   • AAdd the new SDSs to fault set A
   • BAdd the new SDSs to fault set B
   • CAdd the new SDSs to the domain without a fault set
   • DCreate a new fault set for rack 3 and add the new SDSs to it

   A media company is deploying PowerFlex to store video editing assets. The storage team wants to ensure that the system can tolerate the failure of an entire rack without losing data. They plan to use three racks, each with its own fault set. The cluster will have a single Protection Domain. What is the minimum number of replicas required to ensure data availability if one rack fails?

   • A4 replicas
   • B2 replicas
   • C1 replica
   • D3 replicas

   What is the purpose of associating a fault set with a Protection Domain?

   • ATo assign SDSs to a specific storage pool for capacity management
   • BTo define the network path for data replication between SDSs
   • CTo group SDSs that share a common failure risk, such as being in the same rack
   • DTo enable compression and deduplication for the domain

   A PowerFlex cluster has a Protection Domain with three fault sets, each corresponding to a rack. The administrator needs to perform maintenance on rack 2, which requires powering down all SDSs in that rack. The cluster is configured with two replicas per volume. What is the impact on data availability during the maintenance?

   • AData becomes unavailable because two replicas are insufficient to survive a fault set failure
   • BData remains available because replicas are placed in different fault sets
   • CData remains available only if the maintenance is performed during off-peak hours
   • DData availability depends on the storage pool configuration
