Question 47 - D-RP-DY-A-24 discussion

Understanding RPA Types: RecoverPoint Appliances (RPAs) come in different generations, each with varying capabilities. Gen 6 RPAs and virtual RPAs (vRPAs) are the latest models that support advanced features and integrations.

XtremIO Integration: XtremIO is a high-performance, all-flash storage array designed for enterprise environments. It requires robust replication capabilities to ensure data protection and disaster recovery.

Supported RPA Types:

Gen 6 RPAs: These are the latest physical RPAs that support replication of XtremIO volumes. They offer enhanced performance and scalability compared to previous generations.

vRPAs: Virtual RPAs are software-based appliances that provide similar functionality to physical RPAs. They are flexible and can be deployed in virtual environments, making them suitable for XtremIO replication.

Implementation:

Step 1: Ensure that the RecoverPoint system is running the appropriate version that supports XtremIO replication.

Step 2: Configure the Gen 6 RPAs or vRPAs within the RecoverPoint system.

Step 3: Set up the replication policies and Consistency Groups to include the XtremIO volumes.

Step 4: Verify the replication setup to ensure that data is being replicated correctly between the XtremIO arrays.

Verification: After configuring the RPAs and setting up replication, monitor the system to ensure that the XtremIO volumes are being replicated as expected. Use the RecoverPoint Management Application to check the status and health of the replication.
