NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v5 — Question 19

You have three LUNs in a single volume serving three separate databases. You have SnapVault configured to protect this volume. Your users are reporting corruption on one of the databases.
In this scenario, how would you restore the corrupted database without impacting the other two databases?

Answer options

• A. Use the volume snapshot restore command to restore the volume to a previous Snapshot copy and copy the contents back to the original LUN.
• B. Use the volume snapshot restore command to restore only the corrupted database to a previous version.
• C. Create a volume clone from the SnapVault destination, map the LUN to the host, and copy the contents back to the original LUN.
• D. From the database host copy a previous version of the database from the .snapshot folder.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a volume clone from the SnapVault destination allows for the restoration of only the corrupted database without affecting the other databases. Options A and B would impact the entire volume or involve restoring the volume, which could disrupt other databases. Option D does not utilize SnapVault and may not ensure the integrity of the other databases.
