What is the primary purpose of SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility) in a PowerMax environment?

To replicate data between PowerMax arrays for disaster recovery and workload mobility

To compress data on the source array to reduce storage consumption

To provide local snapshots for quick recovery from logical corruption

To provide a backup solution that replaces traditional tape-based backups

Which PowerMax feature is used to establish the communication path between SRDF source and target arrays?

Quality of Service (QoS) policies

A company runs a multi-tier application on PowerMax where the database and application servers write to different devices. The company uses SRDF/A for replication. During a disaster recovery test, the remote copy of the database is consistent, but the remote copy of the application data is from a slightly earlier point in time. What is the most likely cause?

The devices are not in the same SRDF consistency group

The remote site is using a different PowerMax model

The SRDF mode is set to synchronous

Which of the following is a common use case for SRDF?

Providing a backup solution that replaces tape

Enabling real-time analytics on the source data

Performing inline data deduplication on the source array

Disaster recovery by maintaining a remote copy of production data

What is a typical use case for a one-to-many SRDF topology?

Creating a cascaded replication chain from one array to another to a third

Providing a simple one-to-one replication between two arrays

Consolidating data from multiple branch offices into a central data center

Replicating a single source volume to multiple target sites for disaster recovery
