Dell EMC Exam D-RP-OE-A-24 Topic 1 Question 6 Discussion

When a VPLEX distributed device is selected during the RecoverPoint Consistency Group Creation wizard, the option to create a MetroPoint Consistency Group becomes available. This is because MetroPoint is a feature that leverages VPLEX distributed devices for enhanced data protection and disaster recovery capabilities. The steps involved in this process typically include:

Selecting the VPLEX distributed device: During the creation of a Consistency Group, you choose the VPLEX distributed device as the source of replication.

MetroPoint option appears: Once a VPLEX distributed device is selected, the wizard presents the option to create a MetroPoint Consistency Group.

Configuring the MetroPoint Consistency Group: If you choose to create a MetroPoint Consistency Group, you will then configure the necessary settings, such as replication mode and RPO (Recovery Point Objective).

Finalizing the setup: After configuring the settings, you finalize the creation of the Consistency Group, which now has the enhanced capabilities provided by the MetroPoint feature1.

MetroPoint Consistency Groups are designed to provide continuous data protection and availability across multiple sites, combining the benefits of VPLEX Metro with the third-site replication provided by RecoverPoint1.
