Question 1

A customer is using SnapLock Compliance to protect a specific subset of dat

a. The customer wants to have granular control of which documents are locked, when they are locked, and when the retention period is applied.

Which two actions should be done? (Choose two.)



Answer : B, D

To achieve granular control over SnapLock Compliance behavior:

1. Set the default retention period to 'unspecified', so files are not automatically locked.

2. Disable autocommit and instead manually commit only the specific files that should be locked, allowing precise control over what is protected and when retention starts.


Question 2

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 3

A VMware Administrator needs to restore a VM after a recent server patch update has corrupted the VM operating system.

What is the quickest way to restore the VM?



Answer : C

Creating a FlexClone from a pre-patch Snapshot is the quickest, space-efficient method to restore a single VM without affecting others in the datastore. It enables immediate access to the VM's previous state without a full restore or rollback of the entire volume.


Question 4

You need to upgrade to NetApp ONTAP 9.12.1 software on your source cluster in a SnapMirror relationship. The source cluster differs from the destination cluster and you want to take advantage of version-flexible SnapMirror replication.

Which option should you choose?



Answer : D

To take advantage of version-flexible SnapMirror (introduced with XDP-type relationships), you must delete the existing DP-type relationship and create a new one using type XDP. DP-type relationships do not support version flexibility, which allows the source and destination clusters to run different ONTAP versions.


Question 5

As the administrator of a NetApp cluster with multi-admin approval enabled for volume deletes, you have been tasked with deleting a volume. No other administrator is available to approve this request.

What do you need to do to disable multi-admin approval?



Answer : B

When multi-admin approval (MAA) is enabled in ONTAP, it cannot be disabled by a single administrator through standard commands or GUI actions to maintain security integrity. To disable MAA without the required approvals, you must open a NetApp support case to request assistance.


Question 6

Before you use SnapMirror active sync, which NetApp tool must be used to add the NetApp ONTAP Mediator service?



Answer : D

Before using SnapMirror active sync, the NetApp ONTAP Mediator must be registered and added to the cluster. This is done directly through the ONTAP System Manager, which provides a guided interface to configure and verify the Mediator service integration required for automatic failover.


Question 7

An administrator needs to replicate data and snapshots from on-premises volumes to a compliant object storage target.

Which of the following could be used?



Answer : A

SnapMirror Cloud is designed specifically to replicate Snapshot copies and data from on-premises ONTAP systems to object storage targets such as AWS S3, Azure Blob, or compliant S3-compatible systems. It supports compliance requirements and efficient cloud integration.
