NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v4 — Question 17

An administrator is deploying a new SAN workload that has a NetApp All SAN Array (ASA) cluster. The customer wants to reclaim space by tiering to Azure Blob storage.
According to NetApp best practices, which volume tiering policy should be applied?

Answer options

• A. Snapshot-Only
• B. All
• C. None
• D. Auto

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Auto, which allows for automated tiering of data to Azure Blob storage based on usage patterns. The other options, such as Snapshot-Only, All, and None, do not provide the dynamic management needed for efficient space reclamation in this scenario.
