Question 24

Scenario: A Citrix Architect needs to manage the disaster recovery process for a XenApp and XenDesktop environment. The environment currently consists of an active datacenter which is typically accessed by users and a disaster recovery (DR) datacenter which would be used in the event that a disaster impacts the primary datacenter. The organization has made it a priority to minimize the loss of data when failing over between datacenters and has begun planning for an event in which the environment must fail over from the primary datacenter to the DR datacenter.

What is the appropriate sequence of steps that the architect should follow after getting management approval to complete the process in case of such an event?

    Correct Answer: B

    To manage the disaster recovery process effectively and minimize data loss, the architect should first block access to the primary datacenter to prevent any new changes that could complicate the replication process. Then, terminating or draining the existing sessions ensures that all active sessions are properly closed, which is crucial for data integrity. Next, completing the replication ensures that the latest data is fully synchronized to the DR datacenter. After that, reversing the direction of replication is necessary to make the DR datacenter the primary source of truth moving forward. Finally, enabling access to the DR datacenter allows users to resume their work with minimal data loss.

Discussion
StoebiOption: B

It is B!!! Block Access to Primary Environment (This will allow data replication to occur without losing any data)-> Terminate Existing Sessions -> Complete Replication (This ensures that the user experience and application functionality is equivalent to what they are accustomed.) -> Revert Replication (The backup datacenter should be designated as the primary data location, and the replication flow reversed so that changes made to data in the backup environment will be retained.) -> Enable Access in DR Datacenter
