Sufficient network bandwidth (Option A): PowerFlex replication is typically asynchronous. However, the link (WAN) between sites must be sized correctly to handle the change rate of the data. If the application writes 1GB/s but the WAN link is only 100MB/s, the replication buffer (Journal) will fill up, and compliance will break (RPO violation).
Compatible replication protocols (Option D): Both the source and target clusters must be running compatible versions of the PowerFlex software to understand the replication metadata and data stream format.
Incorrect Options: Storage pools do not need to be identical (C)—you can replicate from an NVMe pool to a cheaper HDD pool at the DR site. Snapshot retention (B) is a local backup setting, not a replication prerequisite.
