EMC Proven Professional – PowerMax Specialist — Question 37

When a copy of a file system snapshot is created, what are the characteristics of the copy?

Answer options

• A. Read/write, shareable to clients
• B. Read-only, accessed by clients through the CVFS mechanism
• C. Read-only, shareable to clients
• D. Read/write, accesses by clients through the CVFS mechanism

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a snapshot copy is inherently read-only, which ensures data integrity while still allowing it to be shared with clients. Options A and D incorrectly state that the copy is read/write, which is not the case for snapshots, while option B limits access to the CVFS mechanism, which is not a requirement for sharing.
