A service provider has implemented a VPLEX Metro cluster without the VPLEX Witness, but has
implemented a static rule set. The static rule set has been set to “Cluster-2 detaches”. A Windows
host in the Cluster-1 data center uses a distributed volume. The inter-cluster link fails. What
happens?

A.
1.VPLEX Suspends I/O to all distributed devices on both clusters
2.VPLEX starts a delay timer
3.If connectivity is not restored within the timer expiration period, then VPLEX will resume I/O on
Cluster-2 and keep I/O suspended on Cluster-1

B.
1.VPLEX starts a delay timer
2.VPLEX suspends I/O to all distributed devices on both clusters
3.If connectivity is not restored within the timer expiration period, then VPLEX resumes I/O on
Cluster-2 and keeps I/O suspended on Cluster-1

C.
1.VPLEX starts a delay timer
2.VPLEX suspends I/O to all distributed devices on both clusters
3.If connectivity is not restored within the timer expiration period, then VPLEX resumes I/O on
Cluster-1 and keeps I/O suspended on Cluster-2

D.
1.VPLEX suspends I/O to all distributed devices on both clusters
2.VPLEX starts a delay timer
3.If connectivity is not restored within the timer expiration period, then VPLEX resumes I/O on
Cluster-1 and keeps I/O suspended on Cluster-2
