How should the administrator configure the replication schedule?
How should the administrator configure the replication schedule?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
Nutanix NearSync replication provides the lowest RPO (as low as 1 minute) and is the best option for minimizing data loss in DR scenarios.
* Option D (Configure a schedule for 1 minute up to 15 minutes) is correct:
* NearSyncallows anRPO as low as 1 minute, providingnear-continuous data protection.
* This isideal for mission-critical applicationswhere minimal data loss is required.
* Option A (Configure NearSync) is incorrect:
* WhileNearSync is the best choice,just enabling it is not enough-the schedule must be set to1-
15 minutes.
* Option B (16 to 59 minutes) is incorrect:
* NearSync operates within a 1-15 minute range. If set above 15 minutes,it defaults to Async replication.
* Option C (Async replication) is incorrect:
* Async replication typically has an RPO of 1 hour or more, which does not meet thelowest RPO requirement.
