NetApp Implementation Engineer - Data Protection NS0-528 Exam Practice Test
Question 1
Which NetApp solution safeguards Kubernetes volumes to object storage in public and private cloud providers?
Answer : C
BlueXP backup and recovery provides protection for Kubernetes volumes by backing them up to object storage across public and private cloud providers. It ensures data durability, long-term retention, and recovery for containerized workloads.
Question 2
One of the storage administrators accidently deleted a volume that is being used for a 1TB CIFS share. They acknowledged that the operation was done 8 hours ago. You need to recover this data as soon as possible.
Which step will restore the volume in under a minute?
Answer : B
If the volume was deleted within the retention window (by default, 12 hours), ONTAP allows you to quickly restore the deleted volume directly from System Manager, as it is still in the volume recovery queue. This process typically takes less than a minute and is the fastest recovery option in this scenario.
Question 3
Your customer wants to create application-aware backups of their SAP HANA databases, which are running on VMware vSphere.
What two steps must be completed to create these backups? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, B
To create application-aware backups of SAP HANA databases:
You must install the SnapCenter Plug-in for SAP HANA, which provides database-consistent backup and restore operations.
You must also create a backup policy that aligns with the customer's retention requirements to manage how long backups are kept and how often they're performed.
Question 4
Your customer wants to use tamper-proof Snapshot copies on a SnapMirror destination volume only.
You successfully created a SnapMirror relationship using a SnapMirror policy that contains the following rules:
After initializing, you are able to delete a daily Snapshot copy.
Which command did you need to modify to enable the tamper-proof Snapshot copies as specified in the policy?
Answer : A
Although the SnapMirror policy includes rules for retaining Snapshot copies, the ability to make them tamper-proof (i.e., locked) depends on enabling snapshot locking on the destination volume. You must explicitly run:
volume modify -volume <vol_name> -snapshot-locking-enabled true
Without this setting, SnapMirror-created Snapshot copies can still be deleted manually. Enabling snapshot-locking ensures that retention rules (like the 5-day daily rule in your policy) are enforced and Snapshots are immutable.
Question 5
An administrator is setting up SnapMirror SVM replication. One of the source data volumes uses cloud tiering with the snapshot-only tiering policy.
Which cloud tiering policy is supported on the destination volume?
Answer : D
When using SnapMirror SVM replication, the cloud tiering policy on the destination volume must match the source if tiering is to be preserved. The only supported tiering policy in this context is snapshot-only, which moves cold Snapshot blocks to cloud tier. This ensures compatibility during replication.
Question 6
After setting up a new cluster peering relationship between a production site and a new DR site, the customer mentions that the communication for this peer needs to be secured to help deter "man in the middle" attacks.
What can you do on the NetApp end to secure the existing cluster peering?
Answer : C
To secure an existing cluster peering relationship, you can modify it to enable encryption by using the -encryption-protocol-proposed option. This ensures that intercluster SnapMirror traffic is encrypted, helping protect against man-in-the-middle attacks.
Question 7
Your customer set up a SnapMirror synchronous relationship between two sites. They want to convert it to a SnapMirror active sync configuration for availability reasons.
What action must you take before you convert this relationship?
Answer : C
Before converting a SnapMirror Synchronous relationship to SnapMirror active sync, you must unmap all LUNs on the destination volumes. This is required to avoid access conflicts, as SnapMirror active sync introduces active-active multipath access and centralized coordination of LUN presentation.
