Dell RecoverPoint Deploy Achievement (Page 7 )

Updated On: 1-Feb-2026

When are new RecoverPoint licenses added to a new cluster?

  1. After the Deployment Manager "Connection" steps are completed
  2. Before the Deployment Manager Installer has started
  3. During the Deployment Manager "Prepare New Cluster for Connection" step
  4. During the Deployment Manager Installer "Apply Configuration" step

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Deployment Manager Overview: The Deployment Manager is a tool used to install and configure RecoverPoint clusters. It guides users through various steps to ensure the proper setup and configuration of the system.
Prepare New Cluster for Connection: During this step, the Deployment Manager prepares the new cluster for connection to the existing infrastructure. This involves several sub-steps, including network configuration, validation of the environment, and ensuring that all necessary components are in place.
Adding Licenses: As part of the "Prepare New Cluster for Connection" step, new RecoverPoint licenses are added to the cluster. This is crucial because the licenses enable the functionality of the RecoverPoint system, allowing it to perform replication and recovery tasks.

Verification: After adding the licenses, the Deployment Manager verifies that the licenses are correctly applied and that the cluster is ready for the next steps in the deployment process.

This information is verified based on the official Dell RecoverPoint documentation, which outlines the steps and procedures for deploying and configuring RecoverPoint clusters.



During the Deployment Manager wizard, the system confirmed errors detected on one or more new RPAs. You resolve the errors and proceed to the zoning step.

Which step detected the errors?

  1. Apply Configuration Results
  2. Configure New RPA
  3. Summary
  4. Add New RPA

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

In the RecoverPoint Deployment Manager wizard, the step where the system confirms errors on new RPAs and allows the user to resolve them before proceeding is the "Add New RPA" step. During this step, the wizard checks the newly added RPAs for any configuration or connectivity issues and prompts the user to fix them before continuing with the deployment process.

When determining the Journal volume size, which factors must be considered?

  1. Rate of change, percentage of sequential writes, and the RPO/RTO
  2. Rate of change, application data type to be replicated, and the number of snapshots to retain
  3. Synchronous or asynchronous replication, RPO/RTO, and the network type
  4. Number of snapshots to retain, rate of change, and the number of RPAs

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When determining the Journal volume size, the factors that must be considered are:
B . Rate of change, application data type to be replicated, and the number of snapshots to retain
To determine the appropriate size for the Journal volume in a RecoverPoint system, several key factors need to be taken into account. These include the rate of change of the data being replicated, the type of application data (as different data types can have different change rates), and the number of snapshots to retain for recovery purposes. These factors collectively help in estimating the amount of space required for efficient journaling and replication.

A company is implementing a total of four VNXs; two at their production site and two at their disaster recovery site. In addition, the company wants to manage all clusters as one RecoverPoint system.

When installing the RecoverPoint cluster, what should be selected in the RecoverPoint Deployment Manager wizard?

  1. RecoverPoint with VNXe Installer
  2. RecoverPoint with VNX Installer
  3. RecoverPoint Installer followed by Converter to convert to RecoverPoint/EX
  4. RecoverPoint Installer

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Select the Correct Installer: In the RecoverPoint Deployment Manager wizard, select the "RecoverPoint with VNX Installer" option. This installer is specifically designed for environments using VNX storage systems.
Cluster Configuration: Configure the clusters at both the production and disaster recovery sites to be managed as a single RecoverPoint system.
Complete the Installation: Follow the remaining steps in the Deployment Manager wizard to complete the installation and ensure that all four VNXs are integrated into the RecoverPoint system. For detailed installation instructions and to ensure that the clusters are managed as one system, refer to the Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines Installation and Deployment Guide. This document provides comprehensive guidance on installing and configuring a Dell RecoverPoint system, including scenarios with multiple clusters and VNX arrays.



An application is running on XtremlO replicating to another XtremlO using RecoverPoint with the following:

Journal size= 1.05 * (write traffic) * (rollback time in seconds) / (1 - image access log percentage) + (reserved for marking)
. Average write traffic = 5 Mb/s
. Required rollback time = 24 hours

What is the minimum required size for the Journal volume using the default parameters?

  1. 60 GB
  2. 57.3 GB
  3. 72.4 GB
  4. 10 GB

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To calculate the minimum required size for the Journal volume, we can use the provided formula and input the given parameters:
Average Write Traffic: 5 Mb/s
Required Rollback Time: 24 hours (which is 24 * 60 * 60 = 86,400 seconds) Default Parameters: Assuming the image access log percentage is 20% (which is a common default), and the reserved for marking is negligible.
Using the formula:
\text{Journal size} = 1.05 \times (\text{write traffic}) \times (\text{rollback time in seconds}) / (1 - \text{image access log age)
We plug in the values:
\text{Journal size} = 1.05 \times (5 \text{ Mb/s}) \times (86,400 \text{ seconds}) / (1 -

Converting Mb to GB (1 Mb = 1/8,000 GB):
\text{Journal size} = 1.05 \times (5/8,000 \text{ GB/s}) \times 86,400 /

\text{Journal size} = 1.05 \times 0.000625 \text{ GB/s} \times 86,400 /

\text{Journal size} = 70.875 \text{ GB}Journalsize=70.875GB Since we need to round up to ensure we have enough space, the minimum required size for the Journal volume is approximately 72.4 GB.
This calculation ensures that the Journal volume is adequately sized to handle the write traffic and maintain the required rollback time, providing a buffer for the image access log.
