NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, E-Series — Question 71

You are currently using SnapMirror Synchronous (SM-S) to protect a critical workload at your organization and you want to convert the SnapMirror policy from
Sync to StrictSync.
In this scenario, which procedure allows you to achieve this task?

Answer options

• A. Modify the existing SnapMirror relationship specifying the StrictSync policy, then re-synchronize it
• B. Recreate the SnapMirror relationship, specifying the StrictSync policy, then promote it
• C. Recreate the SnapMirror relationship, specifying the StrictSync policy, then re-synchronize it
• D. Modify the existing SnapMirror relationship specifying the StrictSync policy, then promote it

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because recreating the SnapMirror relationship with the StrictSync policy and then re-synchronizing it is necessary to properly implement the new policy. Option A fails to recognize that the relationship needs to be recreated, while options B and D do not involve the required re-synchronization step after creating a new relationship.
