Q79. What is MetroCluster in NetApp ONTAP?

A high-availability solution that provides synchronous data replication between two clusters

A cloud storage solution that provides backup and recovery services

A method for encrypting data to protect it from unauthorized access

Q80. Exhibit:

An employee’s computer and mapped home folder has been encrypted with ransomware. You are asked to restore the data from a SnapVault repository.
Referring to the exhibit, what happens when the volume is restored?

The restore is performed locally.

The original data is decrypted in place.

Only files that have changed in the volume are restored.

All files in the volume are restored.

Q81. What NetApp data protection solution ensures that data cannot be accessed if a disk shelf is stolen?

snapshot volume

IPsec

disk encryption

SnapLock volume

Q82. How can you ensure data integrity in a data protection solution?

By using data redundancy

By using data deduplication

By implementing data validation checks

By using data compression

Q83. You want to set up an important management solution that must comply with FIPS 140-2. The solution should support a multi-clusters environment and should provide centralized management of the encryption keys.
In this scenario, which solution accomplishes the task?

NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE)with external key management using the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)

NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) with onboard key manager using the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)

NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) with onboard keymanager using the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)

NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) with external key management server using the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP)

Q84. An administrator has an on-premises NetApp AFF cluster with 300TB of used volume space. 200TB of the volume data is tiered using NetApp BlueXP tiering to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). The administrator is tasked to configure NetApp BlueXP backup and recovery from the AFF cluster to Amazon S3.
When the first backup completes, how much data is copied from on premises to the cloud?

500TB

300TB

100TB

200TB

Q85. You want to use OnCommand Workflow Automation to automatically provision secondary volumes for protection relationships.
What must you configure in OnCommand Unified Manager to accomplish this task?

FabricPools

FlashPools

Resource Pools

Storage Pools

Q86. 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?

SnapMirror automatically converts existing DP-type relationships to XDP-type relationships.

Run the command snapmirror resync and set the type to XDP.

Delete the XDP-type relationship and create a new DP-type relationship.

Delete the DP-type relationship and create a new XDP-type relationship.

Q87. You have set up a SnapMirror relationship between volumes in ClusterA and ClusterB. Both the clusters have the same NetApp ONTAP software release and platform. You have enabled Temperature Sensitive Storage Efficiency (TSSE) on the source volume.
How does TSSE affect the efficiency on the destination volume?

TSSE settings are inherited by SnapMirror destination volumes by default.

TSSE cannot be enabled for volumes in a SnapMirror relationship.

TSSE must be manually configured on the destination volumes, otherwise the SnapMirror transfers will fail.

TSSE settings are inherited by SnapMirror destination volumes only if the destination volume is less than 50% full.

Q88. 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?

none

auto

all

snapshot-only

Q89. A customer has just purchased a new 2-node AFF A220 cluster running ONTAP 9.7 and moved the older 4- node FAS2650 cluster running ONTAP 9.5 to an off-site location. They want to configure replication to the FAS2650 cluster for both disaster recovery and long-term archiving.
In this scenario, how would the customer accomplish this task?

Upgrade the FAS2650 cluster to ONTAP 9.7, then configure SnapMirror with type TDP.

Leave the ONTAP versions, then configure SnapMirror with type XDP.

Downgrade the AFF A220 cluster to ONTAP 9.5, then configure SnapMirror with type XDP.

Leave the ONTAP versions, then configure SnapMirror with type DP.

Q90. A customer wants to upgrade to ONTAP 9.7P3 from their current version running on their AFF All SAN Array A220. This upgrade must be completed non-disruptively.
In this scenario, which statement is correct?

Shut down access to all the volumes, then carry out the upgrade.

The upgrade process is non-disruptive, no further action is required.

Migrate the LIFs and use the ~vol move~ command, then carry out the upgrade.

Plug in the HA cabling and mirror the NVRAM, then carry out the upgrade.

Q91. Exhibit:

You are asked to set up a SnapMirror relationship to protect some Oracle DB volumes on both nodes of the aff-01 and aff-02 clusters. You are using the 1 Gb network and the other nodes all have free space to support the mirror.
Referring to the exhibit, which two nodes would provide the least network transfer time for the relationship? (Choose two.)

aff-01 to tme-ontap-prd-01

aff-02 to tme-ontap-prd-02

aff-02 to ontap9-tme-8040-02

aff-02 to ontap9-tme-8040-01

Q92. What is a Snapshot in NetApp ONTAP?

A backup method that captures the entire state of a system at a specific point in time

A file-level backup method that only backs up changed files

A method for compressing data to reduce storage space

A method for encrypting data to protect it from unauthorized access

Q93. Due to legal compliance requirements, a financial institution needs to store and commit files to a non-erasable, non-rewritable state either forever or for a designated retention period.
In this scenario, which ONTAP feature will satisfy these requirements?

FlexClone

SnapLock

SnapDiff

Snapshot

Q94. You must manually upgrade your company’s 8-node cluster from ONTAP 9.5 to ONTAP 9.7. Due to the sensitivity of the data that is being stored on the cluster, it is company policy to perform these upgrades one node at a time.
What are two steps that you must perform to accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

Terminate active NFS connections.

Move Epsilon to maintain cluster quorum.

Terminate active SMB connections.

Change disk ownership.

Q95. A storage administrator configured a replication relationship between two volumes on separate clusters. Although the baseline succeeded, the relationship has not been updating. On further investigation, you notice that the administrator did not add an update schedule.
In this situation, what are three ways to solve this problem? (Choose three.)

Use OnCommand System Manager to modify the volume protection relationship.

Execute the ModifySnapMirrorRelationship API method with the dpSchedule field set to ~scheduleName~ on each node ID in the cluster.

Use the CLI on the source cluster to modify the SnapMirror schedule.

Use OnCommand Unified Manager to modify the volume protection relationship.

Use the CLI on the destination cluster to modify the SnapMirror schedule.

Q96. What is a Snapshot copy in NetApp ONTAP?
