NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v5 — Question 29

You are concerned that the transfers of one of your SnapMirror relationships are consuming too much network bandwidth. The network administrator asks that you decrease the amount of bandwidth being used. The SnapMirror transfers for that relationship average about 500 MB in size. There is only a one-hour window in which the SnapMirror transfer can be performed.
In this scenario, what is the minimum level to which SnapMirror transfer throttling should be set to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. 125 KBps
• B. 175 KBps
• C. 150 KBps
• D. 200 KBps

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, 150 KBps, because it allows the transfer of 500 MB within one hour (or 3600 seconds), as 150 KBps equals 540 MB in an hour. The other options (A, B, and D) either exceed or do not meet the necessary bandwidth requirement for the specified transfer size within the given time frame.
