Which option is used to change a RecoverPoint with VNX(SE) to a RecoverPoint/EX configuration in the Deployment Manager Convert wizard?

The Dell RecoverPoint Deployment Manager provides a "Convert" wizard to change the license and operational mode of a RecoverPoint cluster. When converting from an integrated version like RecoverPoint with VNX (SE) to a standalone version like RecoverPoint/EX, the correct wizard option is "Convert to RecoverPoint". This initiates the process of changing the system from the SE license, which is tied to the VNX array, to an EX license, which uses an external splitter. The wizard then guides the administrator through the necessary steps, including applying the new license file for the target EX configuration.

B. Conversion to RecoverPoint/CL: This option is incorrect because the target configuration is RecoverPoint/EX, not RecoverPoint/CL (Classic). The initial wizard choice is more generic.
C. Upgrade cluster: This option is used for changing the software version of the RecoverPoint cluster (e.g., from 5.1 to 5.2), not for converting its license type or architecture.
D. Conversion to RecoverPoint with VNX(SE): This describes the source configuration, not the action or the target. The wizard is used to convert from this configuration, not to it in this scenario.

1. Dell EMC RecoverPoint 5.1 Deployment Manager Installation and Deployment Guide: In the chapter titled "Converting a cluster," the procedure for converting a RecoverPoint/SE system is detailed. The guide specifies selecting the "Convert to RecoverPoint" option within the Deployment Manager wizard to begin this process. (Reference found in Chapter 6, "Converting a cluster," Step 4 of the procedure).

2. Dell EMC RecoverPoint 5.2 Deployment Manager Installation and Deployment Guide (P/N 302-004-851 REV 01): Page 111, under the section "Converting a RecoverPoint/SE system," states: "In the Select an activity screen, select Convert cluster. In the Select conversion type screen, select Convert to RecoverPoint." This confirms that "Convert to RecoverPoint" is the specific option used to change from SE to another RecoverPoint type like EX or CL.
