NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP v3 — Question 11

You are asked to replicate 15 of 20 volumes and the network configuration of your storage virtual machine to your other data center.
In this scenario, which NetApp technology should you use?

Answer options

• A. SnapMirror Synchronous
• B. SVM DR
• C. MetroCluster
• D. SVM peering

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is SnapMirror Synchronous, as it allows for real-time replication of data, making it suitable for maintaining a consistent copy of the volumes in another location. SVM DR focuses on disaster recovery rather than synchronous replication, MetroCluster is designed for high availability rather than simple replication, and SVM peering is used for data sharing, not replication.
