QuestionQ45

Replication

An architect is planning to implement SRDF/A Legacy mode. What is one possible reason for doing so?

  • A Decoupled cycle switching between R1 and R2 arrays
  • B Coupled cycle switching between R1 and R2 arrays
  • C Increased robustness of SRDF/A sessions and reduced DSE spillover
  • D More granular and predictable RPO at the R2 side.
Explanation

SRDF/A Legacy (single-session) mode ties the capture and transmit cycles together so that R1 and R2 cycle switching is coupled — a new capture cycle cannot start until the prior transmit cycle has committed to R2. This coupled behavior is the defining characteristic of Legacy mode, in contrast to SRDF/A Multi-Cycle Mode, which decouples cycle switching between R1 and R2, provides more granular/predictable RPO, and increases SRDF/A session robustness while reducing Delta Set Extension (DSE) spillover. An architect who specifically wants R1/R2 cycle switching to remain coupled would implement Legacy mode.
