Question 1

Which native NetApp ONTAP solution protects data by using machine learning to identify abnormal activity?



Answer : B

Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) is a native NetApp ONTAP feature that uses machine learning to monitor and analyze file activity patterns. It detects anomalies such as sudden spikes in file changes --- typical of ransomware behavior --- and automatically alerts or blocks access to limit potential damage.


Question 2

Your IT company is using NetApp FlexClone on a two node AFF cluster with 20TB of data to rapidly provision environments for each developer.

Each environment is replicated to an eight node AFF C-Series cluster at a DR site using SnapMirror. You notice that the environments are consuming significantly more disk space on the destination cluster than on the source cluster.

In this scenario, which action will minimize the disk usage on the destination cluster?



Answer : D

FlexClone volumes are space-efficient on the source cluster because they share blocks with the parent. However, SnapMirror transfers them as full physical copies by default unless you re-create them as FlexClone volumes on the DR site.

Enabling FlexClone copies on the destination will preserve their space efficiency and minimize disk usage on the DR cluster.


Question 3

Your customer is running NAS & SAN workloads on an old two node ONTAP Cluster, which reached end of support. As their business is growing, they need a new solution which can provide continuous availability and an automatic switchover for all of his workloads. They already have two data centres that are about 400km apart.

Which solution meets this requirement?



Answer : A

MetroCluster IP is the ideal solution for continuous availability and automatic switchover of both NAS and SAN workloads across geographically separated data centers (up to 700 km apart). It provides synchronous replication with automatic disaster recovery capabilities, making it the best fit for this scenario.


Question 4

You are working with a customer with two NetApp clusters, one AFF A800 cluster and one AFF A900 cluster, in different locations. The customer has a SAN application that spans multiple volumes, which needs protection in the event of a disaster with automatic failover. The customer requires zero RPO and near-zero RTO for this application.

Which two steps should you take to implement this solution? (Choose two.)



Answer : A, B

To achieve zero RPO and near-zero RTO for SAN applications across two NetApp clusters in different locations, you must:

Use SnapMirror active sync, which provides active-active synchronous replication.

Deploy the ONTAP Mediator at a third site to monitor and coordinate automatic failover during disaster events.


Question 5

An administrator performed a SnapMirror failover and tailback of several individual volumes from production and DR. After fallback to production, there are orphaned Snapshot copies, and the SnapMirror relationship from the DR to production is still in place from the prior fallback procedure.

Which snapmirror command cleans up the relationships and Snapshot copies?



Answer : A

The snapmirror release command is used to remove SnapMirror relationships from the source cluster's perspective and delete orphaned Snapshot copies that were created for the SnapMirror relationship. This is the correct cleanup step after failback and ensures no leftover replication metadata remains.


Question 6

Which two NetApp supported products can be used to protect Kubernetes workloads? (Choose two.)



Answer : A, B

BlueXP backup and recovery provides Kubernetes-aware backup and recovery capabilities.

Astra Control is a NetApp product specifically designed to manage and protect Kubernetes workloads by providing application-aware backup, snapshot, and replication features.


Question 7

What NetApp tool helps you with the configuration for the cluster switches, when you are expanding an existing 4-node MetroCluster IP setup?



Answer : C

The RCF (Reference Configuration File) generator is the NetApp tool used to create the appropriate switch configuration files for MetroCluster IP setups. When expanding a MetroCluster IP configuration (e.g., from 4 nodes to more), you use the RCF generator to ensure the cluster and interconnect switches are properly configured.
