NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, E-Series — Question 3

A user wants existing data in a FlexVol created in ONTAP 9.1 to be placed into a FlexGroup volume with ONTAP 9.8.
In this scenario, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use SnapMirror to replicate data from FlexVol to FlexGroup
• B. Use XCP to copy data from a FlexVol to a FlexGroup
• C. You can convert the FlexVol volume to a FlexGroup volume
• D. A FlexVol to FlexGroup conversion is not supported

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct because XCP can efficiently copy data between different storage types, such as from FlexVol to FlexGroup. Option C is also correct as ONTAP 9.8 allows for the conversion of FlexVol to FlexGroup. Options A and D are incorrect because SnapMirror is not the appropriate tool for this specific transfer, and conversion is indeed supported.
