NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v5 — Question 3

You are administering an ONTAP 9.8 cluster. You have configured an hourly snapshot schedule for the volumes of a storage VM. One of the databases on a host that stores multiple databases in the same LUN is accidentally deleted. Users want to restore only this particular database.
In this scenario, how would satisfy this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Perform a SnapMirror resync from the most recent Snapshot copy.
• B. Perform a volume restore from a Snapshot copy.
• C. Perform a single file restore from a Snapshot copy.
• D. Perform a partial file restore from a Snapshot copy.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a single file restore allows you to retrieve just the deleted database without affecting the other data in the LUN. Options A and B would restore the entire volume or perform a SnapMirror operation, which is not specific to the deleted database. Option D, while it suggests partial restoration, does not specifically refer to single files, making it less appropriate for this scenario.
