NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v5 — Question 11

You must protect all data within a storage VM (SVM) serving NAS data, with the requirements shown below.
-- All volumes within the SVM must be protected.
-- The source and destination SVMs are on the same subnet.
-- The source SVM contains volumes for multiple applications.
-- DR testing of an individual application is required without disrupting other applications.
Which data protection solution satisfies these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Use SyncMirror.
• B. Use SVM DR with identity-preserve set to true.
• C. Use SM-BC with the ONTAP Mediator.
• D. Use SVM DR with identity-preserve set to false.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using SVM DR with identity-preserve set to true allows for the protection of all volumes while enabling disaster recovery testing for individual applications without impacting others. Options A and C do not meet the specific requirement for individual application testing, and option D would not preserve identities, which could disrupt application operations during testing.
