Exam HPE7-V01 Topic 1 Question 10 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE7-V01 exam
Question #: 10
Topic #: 1
Your customer wants to implement a disaster recovery solution for their virtualization workload. They also want to implement a protection method that will protect the workload in case of a site failure.
Their existing environment includes the following configurations:
* All ESXi systems are located in the same datacenter
* Virtual machines are protected by an HA cluster
* Some of the VMs are protected with Fault Tolerance
* HPE Synergy 480 Gen11 is the compute platform
* HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 array for storage
* Orchestrated failover for all VMs using VMware tools
The customer plans to replicate the same setup at the second site. The total number of virtual machines that must be protected is 200. Your customer also expects an RPO of 0.
Which component or configuration is a necessary part of a solution that will meet all customer requirements?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

The correct answer is C. RPO 0 is the decisive requirement. A zero recovery point objective means the customer cannot lose acknowledged writes if a site fails. That requirement cannot be satisfied by asynchronous replication because asynchronous copy always introduces replication lag. The storage volumes backing the VMware datastores must be synchronously replicated between the two sites so that committed data exists at both locations before the write is considered protected. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is designed for mission-critical block workloads and supports high-availability replication models, including synchronous Remote Copy / Peer Persistence designs for VMware environments. HPE documentation for Active Peer Persistence describes synchronous Remote Copy as the mechanism used for high-availability protection across arrays. Option A is incorrect because stretching or joining HPE Synergy frames across sites is not the mechanism that provides RPO 0.
Option B can help with VMware policy-driven placement, but SPBM alone does not replicate data.
Option D fails the RPO requirement. Reference/topics: DR architecture, RPO 0, synchronous replication, B10000 Remote Copy, VMware datastore protection.
