NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NFS, ONTAP — Question 12

You have a requirement to keep multiple yearly Snapshot copies on your SnapMirror destination volume. However, you do not want to have the Snapshot copies locked on your source volume because you do not have the required capacity.
Where do you set the schedule option to create the required Snapshot copies?

Answer options

• A. primary SnapMirror policy
• B. secondary Snapshot policy
• C. primary Snapshot policy
• D. secondary SnapMirror policy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the secondary Snapshot policy allows for the creation of Snapshot copies on the destination volume without locking them on the source volume. The other options do not meet the requirement of keeping the copies on the SnapMirror destination without consuming capacity on the source.
