NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – Data Protection — Question 45

You have a FlexClone parent volume with several child volumes.
In this scenario, which statement is true when you move the FlexClone parent volume to another aggregate? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. All FlexClone child volumes are also moved.
• B. All FlexClone child volumes are split and are no longer FlexClone volumes.
• C. The volumes move operation fails.
• D. A temporary FlexClone parent remains on the original aggregate.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

When a FlexClone parent volume is moved to another aggregate, a temporary FlexClone parent is created on the original aggregate to maintain the child volumes. This means that the child volumes remain intact during the move. The other options are incorrect because they imply that the child volumes are either moved, split, or that the operation fails, which does not accurately describe the behavior of FlexClone during this process.
