ForMetro Availability to work properly, the storage containers at both the primary and secondary sites must meet certain requirements:
* The storage containers must have the same name(Option D). This ensures that replication and failover work seamlessly. If the names do not match, the storage containers will not be listed as compatible.
* The destination storage container must be empty(Option C). Metro Availability requires a clean storage container at the secondary site to receive data. If the container already contains data, it cannot be used.
* Option A is incorrect: Different vendor hardware does not affect Metro Availability compatibility.
* Option B is incorrect: Compression does not affect Metro Availability compatibility. However, it is recommended to keep compression settings aligned between sites.
