A customer application generates 2 GB/s writes the outage is under two hours.
What capacity must be allowed for the journal?
Correct Answer: B
To calculate the required journal capacity, we need to consider the maximum cumulative writes that might occur during an outage. The calculation is based on the application's write bandwidth and the duration of the supported outage. For an application generating 2 GB/s of writes, using a 2-hour outage (which is 7200 seconds), the journal capacity reservation needed is: Journal Capacity=Write Bandwidth×Outage Duration Journal Capacity=2 GB/s×7200 s=14400 GB However, since the question specifies that the outage is under two hours, we use the minimum outage allowance of 1 hour for the calculation, which is 3600 seconds.
Therefore, the correct calculation is:
Journal Capacity=2 GB/s×3600 s=7200 GB
But considering the recommendation to use three hours in the calculations for safety, the needed capacity would be approximately 10.547 TB, which is roughly 10.800 GB12. Hence, the verified answer is 10.800 GB.
