NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 38

You have a 100 GB volume with the space guarantee set to volume. This volume contains two space reserved 20 GB LUNs. Both LUNs are at 50% use. You then create a Snapshot copy of the volume. No modifications were performed since the Snapshot copy was completed, and all actions were performed using the CLI.
In this scenario, how much free space does the volume have?

Answer options

• A. 80 GB
• B. 40 GB
• C. 20 GB
• D. 60 GB

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The volume has 100 GB total, with 40 GB reserved for the two LUNs (20 GB each). Since both LUNs are at 50% usage, they consume 20 GB in total, leaving 80 GB. However, the volume's Snapshot requires additional space to maintain the data state, which reduces the free space to 60 GB. The other options do not account for the Snapshot's impact on available space.
