Answer: A

What is the limit of a Stretch MetroCluster?A - 300m with 2G disk shelvesB - 600m with 1G disk shelvesC - 30KmD - 100KmAnswer: A A customer has 3 older F800 series NetApp storage units, currently running ONTAP 6.5. All the data is in traditional volumes, and there are around 30 qtrees used in all but one volume. In that final volume, all data lives in the volume but no qtree’s were used. That particular data is simply mounted on a Unix box for one of his databases. The data is a mixture of some Windows and some Unix, with a couple of small Oracle databases running in HP-UK He is in the final stages of agreeing an upgrade purchase to a FAS3000 unit. Clearly this will run ONTAP 7.x. He is concerned about how to migrate the data. You have already offered an option to keep his disk shelves and undertake a ‘risk-free’ head swap, but he is keen to move to larger disks to keep his footprint down in his datacenter, and also to move to the new world of aggregates and flexible volumes so he can take advantage of the FlexClone feature, so he wants to undertake a data migration. You have made it clear he can keep both systems side-by-side to ensure a smooth move over, but how would you then propose he migrates the data to ensure the shortest downtime for his environment? A -  Use VFM to migrate all the data from old to new. Using the DFSroot will make the task 100% seamless to the users with zero disruption B -  Configure the new system then use Volume SnapMirror to replicate all the data. This will keep all his mountpoints and everything the same, and make it a very rapid changeover from traditional’ to ‘flexible’ C -  Upgrade his F800 series to ONTAP 7.x, then the existing traditional volumes can be converted to flexible ones. From that point it will be also seamless to use Volume SnapMirror to the new FAS3000 unit, with no downtime for his users or databases D -  Configure the new system then use Qtree SnapMirror to replicate all the qtree’s. The Oracle data that isn’t in the qtree can be replicated with the !qtree option, although you will need to mount a new mountpoint once cutting over. You might also suggest Multistore to make his users/application servers believe there are still 3 filers serving their data. Without MultiStore, there might be some client reconfiguration needed Answer: D Your customer would like a robust replication mechanism to enable them to protect against any data loss. They are concerned about performance impact, and would like to consider the most efficient solution to meet that RPO objective. What solution would you suggest is the best fit for them? A - Synchronous SnapMirror B - VFM C - MultiStore D - MetroCluster Answer: D A customer is currently running a customer application on a FAS3050HA and is using snapshots. They would like to implement a disaster recovery solution. They would plan to use the snapshots they have been creating as the basis for the transfers. Which one of the following command lines can be used to calculate the rate of change? A - snap delta B - snap reserve C - snap roc D - snap compare Answer: A Your customer has two data centers, a primary one in London and a smaller one in New York. They have a small database in New York that they wish to mirror to London. Because of the location of the site in New York, they anticipate that they will need to be able to copy all of the data back from London on a regular basis. Which one of the following would you use to calculate the bandwidth of the link between the sites? A - The size of the data B - The change rate of the data C - The distance between the sites D - The transmission delay between the sites Answer: A In a Metrocluster configuration, takeover of the primary site by the secondary site is accomplished: A - Automatically B - With a single command on each node C - By breaking each of the mirrors D - With a single command on the secondary site Answer: A What will be the size of the destination volume alter the initial Volume SnapMirror transfer? A -  The destination volume will be created to match the size of the source volume B -  Because old snapshots will not be transferred, the destination volume will be smaller than the source volume C -  Because you can keep more snapshots on the destination volume, it will usually be larger than the source volume D -  The SnapMirror destination volume will be the same size as the source volume Answer: D If an asynchronous volume SnapMirror update does not complete before a new update is scheduled, what happens? A -  The new update is skipped; the following update will be run when it becomes due B -  The running transfer is aborted and the new transfer is started as it will use a newer snapshot C -  SnapMirror increments the requested transfer count on the relationship and will start the new update atter the end of the running transfer. The counter ensures no updates are lost D -  SnapMirror marks the relationship to run again and will start the new update after the end of the running transfer Answer: D You have a customer who is using SnapManager for Exchange with his FAS3000 storage unit. Like many other organizations, he has realized that he ought to have a DR plan in place in case he loses his primary computer room. How could you offer some Net4pp tools to help make this a simple transition for him, whilst keeping the cost as low as possible? A -  You tell him that VFM is a great replication tool for Windows-based data, and you recommend he deploys this to replicate his Exchange data B -  You show him that SME already supports SnapMirror natively, and you suggest he take a second device for his proposed DR site: this can be an asymmetric replication and could therefore be a smaller-powered machine to save money C -  You point out that Open Systems SnapVault has a client that can handle Exchange, and recommend that for protecting his data to another system at his DR site D -  You suggest he could combine DR with some archiving and that SME already natively supports SnapVault to help achieve this in a simple manner Answer: B Your customer has a database setup on his Filer which for historical reasons is spread over two volumes in the same aggregate. They would now like to mirror this to a second filer, but would like to ensure that they mirror the database at a single point in time. How would you best achieve this? A - Ensure that the SnapMirror schedules run at the same time B - Use aggregate snapshots to ensure the SnapMirrors use a consistent snapshot C - Move the whole database into a single volume, and use volume SnapMirror D - SnapMirror both volumes to a single volume on the secondary which will then create a consistent snapshot Answer: C A customer wants to use synchronous SnapMirror to replicate a traditional volume over Fibre Channel fabric. Which one of the following will impact SnapMirror performance? A - Application running on the host B - Root Volume number of disk on the destination C - Number of disk in the source filer D - Number of Fibre Channel HBAs in the source filer Answer: B Your customer has a high availability requirement for a SnapLock Compliance volume, so wishes to use MetroClusterto provide this. What would you say to him? A - This is possible B - You can not use MetroCluster, but you can use Synchronous SnapMirror to achieve this C - You can not use MetroCluster, but you can use a standard cluster to achieve this D - This is not possible with SnapLock Compliance; you can only do this with SnapLock Enterprise Answer: D A customer wants to dynamically adjust the SnapMirror transfer rate. They issue a snapmirror throttle command on the source system. What happens? A -  Nothing. The snapmirror throttle command needs to be issued on the destination storage system B -  The changed transfer rate will only apply to the current transfer. The next scheduled transfer will use the maximum transfer rate that is specified in the /etc/snapmirror.conf tile C -  The changed transfer rate will apply to all future transfers until you change it back using another snapmirror throttle command D -  The current transfer immediately applies the new value Answer: B A customer has 3 older F800 series NetApp storage units, currently running ONTAP 6.5.

They are planning to implement Sync SnapMirror which has an overhead or i ms to be added to the I/O latency. What is the max distance the DR site can be from the primary and still meet their max latency requirements considering the speed or light in a cable is around 200,000km/s? A - 100Km B - 125Km C - 200Km D - 250Km Answer: D Which one of the following is a valid configuration? A - A B - B C - C D - D Answer: A Which one of the following requirement would lead to a decision that a NetApp Disaster Recoverystorage solution is required?A - There is a need for application failoverB - Concern over multiple disk failures: the desire for data to be protected on different physicaldisk spindlesC - A recovery time objective to get the data back within 1 hourD - A recovery point objective of losing no more than minutes of data in the event of the loss ofthe primary site machine roomAnswer: DYour customer has a three site DR system where data at each site must be replicated to both ofthe other sites. Which one of these options should you offer him for this scenario?1.  Use SnapMirrorto mirror the primary data to second site, and then use SnapMirrorto mirrorthat second copy to the third site.2.  Use SnapMirrorto mirror the primary data to both DR sites from the primary site.3.  Use 3-way MetroCluster with one head at each of the 3 sites.A - 1B - 1 and 2C - 1 and 3D - 2 and 3Answer: BWhich one of these statements about Synchronous SnapMirror is not true?A -  You can use Synchronous SnapMirror only on volumes, not qtreesB -  The Synchronous SnapMirror configuration employs SyncMirror and a cluster configured formirrored volumes to build a system that provides data even after complete loss of one of thecluster nodes and the storage at that siteC -  Synchronous SnapMirror is a SnapMirror feature in which the data on one tiler is replicatedon another filer at, or near, the same time it is written to the firstfilerD -  Synchronous SnapMirror synchronously replicates data between single filers or clusteredfilers situated at remote sites using either an IP or a Fibre Channel connectionA customer wants to convert an existing FAS 3050HA to a MetroCluster configuration withdistance of 300m. Which one of the following statements is true?A - This is not possibleB - The cluster interconnect card must be changedC - No hardware changes are requiredD - Add a license for multistoreAnswer: CWhich one of the following products can be used to replicate a Traditional Volume on the sourceto a Flexible Volume on the destination with each running ONTAP 7.1?A - MetroClusterB - Qtree SnapMirrorC - Sync SnapMirrorD - Volume SnapMirrorAnswer: BWhich one of the following is not a true statement of QSM?A - QSM is not sensitive to disk size differencesB - QSM can replicate a tranditional volume to a flexible volumeC - OSM can replicate ONTAP 7.1 to ONTAP 7.0D - QSM can be used to replicate a SnapVault destinationAnswer: DWhich one of the following steps is incorrect for the Synchronous Snapmirror data flow when in-sync (the flow is from A to D)?A - Writes come in and are written to the source filer’s source volumeB - NVlog blocks are transterred to the destination filer’s NVRAMC - The destination filer responds with an ACKD - The write is acknowledged to the hostAnswer: AWhich one of the following licenses is not required for MetroCluster?A - SyncMirrorB - CFOC - Cluster_RemoteD - Synchronous SnapMirrorAnswer: DThe customer has firewalls configured at two sites but wants to ensure SnapMirror traffic isallowed through each firewall.

A - options snapmirror.access host=filer2,filer3 B - options snapmirror.access all C - snapmirror access host= filer2,filer3 D - snapmirror allow host=filer2,filer3 Answer: A You have a customer who is using SnapManager for Exchange with his FAS3000 storage unit. Like many other organizations, he has realized that he ought to have a DR plan in place in case he loses his primary computer room. How could you offer some NetApp tools to help make this a simple transition for him, whilst keeping the cost as low as possible? A -  You tell him that VFM is a great replication tool for Windows-based data, and you recommend he deploys this to replicate his Exchange data B -  You show him that SME already supports SnapMirror natively, and you suggest he take a second device for his proposed DR site: this can be an asymmetric replication and could therefore be a smaller-powered machine to save money C -  You point out that Open Systems SnapVault has a client that can handle Exchange, and recommend that for protecting his data to another system at his DR site D -  You suggest he could combine DR with some archiving and that SME already natively supports SnapVault to help achieve this in a simple manner Answer: B You are called into a meeting with a prospect who currently has no NetApp storage infrastructure. The customer spends some time discussing his current environment. Rather than trying to cover all possible options for disaster recovery, you want to narrow down what he might be particularly interested in. Which one of the following would include topics that might help you achieve this, in order to progress the meeting in a useful manner? A - Current applications and data types, numbers of users, computer room power capabilities B - Current applications and data types, backup and recovery mechanisms in place, multi-site capabilities C - Oracle versions in use, network switch vendor in use, multi-site capabilities D - Current applications and data types, Exchange topology, tape drive type/s used Answer: B Which one of the following types of snapshots can be used as a SnapMirror source? A - Scheduled snapshots B - Manual snapshots C - Snapshot created by SnapManager for Exchange D - All of the above Answer: D You have a customer who has a requirement to have his data in 2 places: in other words1 if he loses his primary data site he should not lose ANY data. Specifically, he has an Oracle database to protect, along with some less critical home users applications: he is comfortable with the user data only being updated nightly, but the database is of paramount importance to his business. The database area totals around iTS in size. In his current solution, at peak times, he is creating 50GB Oracle log data every minute. It is hard for him to find out how much data in the database is changing precisely. Although it is critical, the database is only online for changes between Sam and 10pm, so there is some slacktime outside of thatwhen batch jobs and reports run. The impact of those on the data is notwidely known, butthey can be re-run if there was a problem outside the online day. The customer tells you his primary and secondary datacenter have a 1 GBit link between them. What would be the best design to put forward for his requirements? A -  Volume SnapMirror since it can deal with both Oracle and home area’s. Replicate the logs synchronously, but the database and the home area’s nightly B -  Qtree SnapMirror to give greater granularity of management Replicate the logs synchronously, but the database and the home area’s nightly C -  Volume SnapMirror to keep things simple for all data: replicate the Oracle database and logs synchronously and the home areas every night D -  SnapVaultto replicate all data. Replicate the logs synchronously, but the database and the home area’s nightly Answer: A Which statement about the Fibre Channel switches that MetroCluster uses is correct? A - Fibre Channel switches can be shared with tape devices B - Fibre Channel switches must be dedicated to MetroCluster C - Fibre Channel switches can be any vendor’s as long as the firmware is compatible D - Fibre Channel switches must be in loop mode Answer: B Which one of the following is not a true statement of QSM? A - QSM is sensitive to disk size differences B - QSM is sensitive to large number (millions) of small files C - QSM destinations can be placed on the root volume of the destination appliance D - QSM destination volume may contain multiple replicated qtrees from multiple systems Answer: A Your customer has two data centers, a primary one in London and a smaller one in New York. They have a small database in New York that they wish to mirror to London. Because of the location of the site in New York, they anticipate that they will need to be able to copy all of the data back from London on a regular basis. Which one of the following would you use to calculate the bandwidth of the link between the sites? A - The size of the data B - The change rate of the data C - The distance between the sites D - The transmission delay between the sites Answer: A A customer has come up with a asymmetric disaster recovery design. They have a FAS3050HA w/144GB FC drives at the primary site and would like to mirror to an R200 w/500GB DATA drives in a secondary site. With millions of small files and directories on the source volumes the customer is looking for the best SnapMirror design. Should they: A - Use Volume Snapmirror w/Flexvols? B - Use Qtree Snapmirror w/Tradvols? C - Use Qtree Snapmirror w/Flexciols? D - Use NDMPCopy? Answer: A Which one of the following is not a valid configuration? Answer: B You have been asked if it is possible to convert a Synchronous SnapMirror relationship into as Asynchronous relationship, and how would you do it. What would you reply? A -  Yes, when a Synchronous transfer fails it automatically drops into Asynchronous mode, so you can just leave it in that mode B -  Yes, you can do this by modity’ing the fetcfsnapmirror.conf file C -  Yes, but you will need to perform a new baseline transfer D -  No, you can’t do it, you must delete the Synchronous SnapMirror relationship and start a new Asynchronous relationship Answer: B Your customer wishes to setup a SnapMirror schedule for his data starting at 2am each day, and estimates it will take about 90 minutes to run. He already has an hourly snapshot schedule running every hour, so one will run during the SnapMirror transfer. What would your statement about this situation be? A - This will not be a problem, SnapMirror uses different snapshots B - If a snapshot starts in the middle of a SnapMirror transfer, the SnapMirror transfer will abort C - If a snapshot starts in the middle of a SnapMirror transfer, the destination could be corrupted D - SnapMirror locks the snapshots, so the scheduled snapshot will not be created Answer: D Which one of the following command should you run on filer1 to only allow filer2 and filer3 to haveSnapMirror access?A - options snapmirror.access host=filer2,filer3B - options snapmirror.access allC - snapmirror access host= filer2,filer3D - snapmirror allow host=filer2,filer3Answer: AYou have a customer who is using SnapManager for Exchange with his FAS3000 storage unit.Like many other organizations, he has realized that he ought to have a DR plan in place in casehe loses his primary computer room.
