In PowerFlex replication architecture, what is the role of the target cluster?

To provide compute resources for running applications

To host the primary copy of data and serve I/O to applications

To receive and maintain a replica of the volumes from the source cluster

To manage the replication consistency groups

A company is setting up replication between two PowerFlex clusters. The administrator wants to ensure that a group of volumes is replicated together so that the recovery point is consistent across all volumes. What is the correct architectural component to use for this purpose?

A replication consistency group

A company has a PowerFlex replication setup between a primary and a DR site. After a regional disaster, the primary site is lost. The administrator performs a failover to the DR site, and the application is running. Weeks later, the primary site is restored, and the administrator wants to return operations to the primary site. What is the correct sequence of operations to achieve this?

Start the original replication session from the primary to the DR site

Delete the replication session and create a new one from primary to DR

Perform a failover on the primary cluster to make it active again

Establish replication from the DR site back to the primary, perform a failback, and then reverse replication direction

Why would you create a replication consistency group instead of replicating volumes individually?

To allow replication to different target clusters

To increase the replication speed

To ensure that all volumes in the group are replicated in a coordinated manner

To reduce the number of replication sessions needed

A replication session is in a 'Paused' state. The administrator checks the network and finds it is healthy. The administrator also checks the target cluster and finds it is online. What is the most likely cause of the paused state?

The source volume is experiencing high I/O

The replication session was manually paused by an administrator

The target cluster is out of storage space

The replication license has expired
