Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Unity XT — Question 9

You are upgrading a Dell EMC Unity array to a Dell EMC PowerStore 1000 T array. The customer asks what they need to do so they can map PowerStore snapshots from the new PowerStore array to a host.
What should be your response?

Answer options

• A. Create a volume group of the snapshot.
• B. Create a read/write snapshot of the snapshot
• C. Create a copy of the snapshot
• D. Create a thin clone of the snapshot

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Creating a thin clone of the snapshot allows it to be mapped to a host, which is the required action in this context. The other options do not provide the necessary functionality for mapping snapshots to a host effectively; for instance, a volume group does not directly relate to snapshot mapping, and copies or read/write snapshots do not fulfill the requirement either.
