1Z0-1072-25 Question 286
Select 2Your organization uses Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) File Storage in the US East region for critical departmental data. You have been asked to implement a disaster recovery (DR) solution by replicating this file system to the US West region. When you attempt to create the replication, the job fails, indicating that the File Storage service cannot create the target file system. Which two actions must you take to successfully implement cross-region File Storage replication?
- A
Add an IAM policy to allow the File Storage service to create and manage replication resources in the target region.
- B
Manually move daily snapshots from the source file system into an Object Storage bucket and restore them into a new file system in the target region.
- C
Create the replication from your source file system by specifying the US West region as the target during the setup process.
- D
Set up a new mount target in the target region and export the source file system onto it prior to initiating replication.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
In OCI, File Storage supports native cross-region replication. To use it, you must first ensure that your IAM policies permit the File Storage service to create and manage resources in the target region. Then, you can create a replication from your source file system by specifying the target region. Full details on configuring cross-region replication can be found in the File Storage documentation under 'Using Replication for File Systems.'
- A. Correct.
Correct: You must configure an IAM policy that grants the File Storage service permission to create and manage resources in the target region. Without this, the replication job cannot automatically create the target file system.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While manually copying snapshots to Object Storage is a workaround for data migration, it does not use the native File Storage replication feature. The question specifically refers to the built-in cross-region replication functionality.
- C. Correct.
Correct: When you create the replication from your source file system and specify the target region, OCI automatically creates a corresponding file system in the target region and manages replication. This is the recommended approach for cross-region DR.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: You do not need to export the source file system to a mount target beforehand. The native replication feature automatically creates and manages the target file system. Setting up an additional mount target does not resolve the replication failure.
