NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 43

Your customer is migrating data from a legacy FAS8020 system that runs ONTAP 9.5 software to a new AFF A250 MetroCluster over IP configuration.
In this scenario, which two methods would be supported to migrate the data? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Perform a controller swap from the FAS8020 to the AFF A250s.
• B. Create a 4-node cluster on one side and use the vol move command to migrate the data.
• C. Use a host-based copy migration method.
• D. Configure a SnapMirror copy between the FAS8020 and the AFF A250 systems.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D because a host-based copy method allows for effective data transfer while SnapMirror provides a robust mechanism for replicating data between the two systems. Options A and B are not viable methods for this type of migration, as they do not align with the supported migration strategies for transitioning from a legacy system to an AFF configuration.
