D-RP-OE-A-24 Exam Dumps : Dell RecoverPoint Operate Achievement

In a Distributed Consistency Group (DCG) configuration, the primary RPA and secondary RPAs work together to manage a larger data throughput than a single RPA can handle. This is achieved by dividing the workload among multiple RPAs. As a result, there is an increase in traffic observed on the WAN network between the RPAs.This is because the data that is being replicated needs to be transferred over the WAN to ensure that all RPAs have the necessary information to maintain consistency and data protection1.

The process involves:

The primary RPA receives write I/Os from the production environment.

The primary RPA then distributes the data to the secondary RPAs over the WAN.

The secondary RPAs process the data and replicate it to their respective Journal volumes.

This distribution of workload allows the DCG to handle higher throughput and IOPS rates than a single RPA could manage1.

It’s important to note that while there is additional traffic on the WAN, this does not necessarily mean that the FC (Fibre Channel) links or management network are unaffected.However, the most significant increase in traffic is observed on the WAN network, which is the communication link between the RPAs in a DCG configuration1.

The Dell EMC RecoverPoint Gen6 appliance contains two slots for I/O modules. For Slot1, the supported I/O modules are 10-Gb optical fiber and 10-Gb twisted copper pair.This means that Slot1 can accommodate either 10 GbE optical or 10 GbE copper I/O modules1.

The I/O modules are network interface cards with the following characteristics:

10-GB OPTICAL FIBER MODULE: 4 ports, Ethernet network type, supported speed of 10 Gb, wire type of optical fiber (SFP+).

10-GB TWISTED COPPER PAIR MODULE: 4 ports, Ethernet network type, supported speed of 10 Gb, wire type of BASE-T twisted copper pair1.

These modules provide the necessary connectivity for the RecoverPoint appliance to manage replication setup and operations, ensuring efficient data protection and disaster recovery capabilities1.

EMC AppSync is the product that integrates with RecoverPoint to provide application-driven point-in-time copies. AppSync simplifies and automates the process of generating and consuming copies of production data.Integrated with EMC storage arrays, AppSync enables application owners to satisfy copy demand for data repurposing, operational recovery, and disaster recovery1.

AppSync allows users to:

Discover application databases or file systems.

Create copies of the data (snapshots, clones, or replicas) that are application-consistent.

Use the copies for various purposes, such as development/testing, reporting, or backup and recovery operations.

Restore from the copies in case of data loss or corruption.

AppSync’s integration with RecoverPoint enhances its capabilities by providing a robust data protection solution that can create point-in-time copies based on specific application events or schedules, ensuring that copies are consistent with the application’s state at that moment1.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is always best to consult the latest official Dell RecoverPoint documentation or contact Dell EMC support directly1.
