Hitachi Vantara Certified Expert - Replication Solutions Architect Sample Questions:
A customer is using Hitachi Universal Replicator (HUR) and does not have sufficient network bandwidth.
During a peak write workload, the customer overflows their HUR journals and replication suspends in error.
What happens when the customer issues a resychronization?
Response:
- A. HUR performs a differential copy.
- B. HUR performs a no copy.
- C. HUR performs an at-time split.
- D. HUR performs an initial copy.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️

Which replication technology is appropriate?
Response:
- A. TrueCopy Extended Distance
- B. Hitachi Dynamic Replicator
- C. Hitachi Universal Replicator
- D. TrueCopy
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
A customer is using Hitachi Universal Replicator between two VSPs. They do not currently maintain any point-in-time copies at the remote site. They have determined that they want to perform a disaster recovery test at the remote site using Hitachi Thin Image.
Which two statements are true?
(Choose two.)
Response:
- A. The Hitachi Thin Image V-Vols will provide for non-disruptive disaster recovery testing.
- B. The Hitachi Thin Image V-Vols will require the same physical disk size as the Hitachi Universal Replicator P-Vols.
- C. The Hitachi Thin Image V-Vols will not protect against site-wide disasters at the primary site.
- D. The Hitachi Thin Image V-Vols will protect against rolling disasters.
Correct Answer: A,D 🗳️
