NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v5 — Question 21

Your primary site is protected using SVM DR with the identity-preserve option set to true. A network disruption is preventing a large number of SMB shares from being accessed at the primary site. You must fail over to the DR site to restore file services to end users.
Which two actions must be performed to accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Update the SnapMirror relationship.
• B. Create new file shares at the DR site.
• C. Break the SnapMirror relationship.
• D. Stop the storage VM at the primary site.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct actions are to break the SnapMirror relationship (C) and stop the storage VM at the primary site (D). Breaking the SnapMirror allows you to switch to the DR site without synchronization issues, and stopping the storage VM ensures no further changes occur at the primary site during the failover. The other options would either not help in the failover process or are unnecessary in this scenario.
