An application has multiple SRDF pairs that must be failed over together to maintain consistency. The administrator wants to ensure that all pairs are failed over as a single unit. What should they do?

Fail over each pair individually in sequence.

Place all pairs in an SRDF consistency group and fail over the group.

Suspend all pairs, then fail over the SRDF group.

Create a new SRDF group for the failover operation.

An SRDF pair is in a 'Failed' state. The administrator has verified that the link is healthy and the target array is online. What is the most likely cause of the failure, and what should they do next?

The SRDF group is misconfigured; delete and recreate the group.

The target device may be in an invalid state; check the pair properties and attempt to resume.

The source device is read-only; change the source to read-write.

The link is actually down; check the physical cabling.

In Unisphere for PowerMax, what is the purpose of an SRDF failover operation?

To switch production to the target site in a controlled manner

To suspend replication temporarily

After a disaster, production is running at the DR site. The original source site is now available, but the SRDF links were down during the disaster and have just been restored. The administrator needs to fail back to the original source without data loss. What is the correct first step?

Delete the SRDF pairs and create new ones with the original source as the target.

Suspend the SRDF pairs and then resume them to trigger resynchronization.

Establish the SRDF pairs in the reverse direction to resynchronize the source with the target.

Perform a failback operation immediately, which will automatically resynchronize.

An administrator needs to temporarily stop SRDF replication for a maintenance window on the target array. The SRDF pairs must remain intact so replication can be resumed later. What operation should they perform in Unisphere for PowerMax?
