NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP v3 — Question 5

What are two conditions that would cause writes in memory to be written to disk? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The NVRAM (NVLog) fills up.
• B. A user presses "Save".
• C. Drive capacity becomes available.
• D. A Snapshot copy is taken.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D because when the NVRAM is full, it necessitates writing the data to disk to avoid data loss. Additionally, taking a Snapshot copy requires the data in memory to be written to disk to ensure the snapshot is consistent. Options B and C do not directly cause writes to disk from memory.
