Exam 3V0-624 topic 1 question 29 discussion

Only C is correct. The 5 minute RPO requires the source host to be ESXi 6.0 or later for VSAN, and ESXi 6.5 for other supported datastores. https://docs.vmware.com/en/vSphere-Replication/6.5/rn/vsphere-replication-65-release-notes.html

There is no hints about vCenter (6.5 required for vRep 6.5) or VSAN versions, therefore we must assume those info (as to be 6.5). So, according to this, only C is valid: “The 5 minute RPO requires the source host to be ESXi 6.0 or later for VSAN, and ESXi 6.5 for other supported datastores” ( from https://docs.vmware.com/en/vSphere-Replication/6.5/rn/vsphere-replication-65-release-notes.html)

Correct Answer: C

Answer is C The 5 minute RPO requires the source host to be ESXi 6.0 or later for vSAN, and ESXi 6.5 for other supported datastores. https://docs.vmware.com/en/vSphere-Replication/8.3/com.vmware.vsphere.replication-admin.doc/GUID-9E17D567-A947-49CD-8A84-8EA2D676B55A.html

Correct answer is C In the past, the 5 min RPO was limited by the presence of vSAN datastore on source & target sites. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2102453 "In vSphere Replication 6.1.x, you can use the 5 minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) if the target and the source sites use Virtual SAN storage. If you change the target site to a site that does not use Virtual SAN, you cannot set the RPO value to less than 15 minutes. "

I probably don't agree with most of you, but I think B is still correct (and C as well): you have mentioned the following from the official doc: The 5 minute RPO requires the source host to be ESXi 6.0 or later for VSAN, and ESXi 6.5 for other supported datastores. this is only applicable to VR 8.1 not to VR 6.5, here the statement regarding RPO from the 6.5 doc regarding 5min RPO : You can use the 5 minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) if the target and the source sites use VMFS 6.0, VMFS 5.x, NFS 4.1, NFS 3, VVOL, or Virtual SAN 6.0 storage and later. vSphere Replication 6.5 displays the 5 minute RPO setting when the target and the source site use VMFS 6.0, VMFS 5.x, NFS 4.1, NFS 3, VVOL, or Virtual SAN 6.0 storage and later.

Correct Answer: C

answer is B. as minimum. no vsan requirements. In vSphere Replication 6.5.x and 8.x, you can use the 5 minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) if the target and the source sites use VMFS 6.0, VMFS 5.x, NFS 4.1, NFS 3, VVOL and Virtual SAN 6.0 storage and later. The 5 minute RPO can be applied to a maximum of 100 VMs on VMFS 6.0, VMFS 5.x, NFS 4.1, NFS 3 and Virtual SAN 6.0 storage and later. The maximum for VVOL datastore is 50 VMs. please disregard my other posts...

Should be D. I do vreplication from source esxi 5.5 goin to vsan cluster here in my work. Using vcenter 6.5.

B and C are correct The vSphere Replication 6.0 version supports a minimum of 15 minutes of RPO, while version 6.5 supports RPO from 5 minutes under some conditions, which includes support for VMFS6, VMFS 5.x, VSAN among others. However, because VSAN is a more expensive solution, I would leave only option B, as the correct answer. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2102453
