A company is planning to set up remote replication for a VMware datastore. The source PowerStore is running version 3.0, and the destination PowerStore is running version 2.1. The administrator is about to create the replication session. What should the administrator do first?

Upgrade the destination PowerStore to a compatible version that matches the source.

Create the replication session with a lower RPO to compensate for the version difference.

Create the replication session; the system will handle version differences automatically.

Check the compatibility matrix and upgrade the destination if necessary.

An administrator needs to perform maintenance on the source PowerStore. The administrator wants to ensure that the destination volume remains available for reads and writes during the maintenance. What is the correct action?

Delete the replication session and recreate it after the maintenance.

Pause the replication session and mount the destination volume directly.

Create a test copy of the destination volume and use it for production.

Perform a planned failover to the destination, then start the VMs on the destination.

An administrator is creating a remote replication session for a VMware datastore using PowerStore Manager. The administrator wants to test the replication after the initial sync is complete. What is the correct action?

Pause the replication session and mount the destination volume directly.

Create a test copy of the destination volume and mount it to an ESXi host.

Create a snapshot of the source volume and mount it to an ESXi host.

Perform a failover to the destination and then failback.
