A financial services firm has implemented SnapMirror active sync between two data centers to protect a mission-critical database LUN. During a disaster recovery test, an unplanned failover is initiated by shutting down the primary storage controller. The application owner reports that the database service did not automatically resume on the secondary site. The ONTAP Mediator is confirmed to be online and reachable from both sites. What is the most likely cause of this failure?
A healthcare organization is using SnapCenter to protect a large Microsoft SQL Server database. Backups are failing intermittently with an application quiesce timeout error. The storage administrator has verified that the SnapCenter plug-in is correctly installed and has the necessary permissions. The underlying ONTAP cluster is healthy and not under heavy load. Which two actions should the administrator take to troubleshoot this issue? (Select TWO)
True or False: When configuring an SVM-DR relationship with the `identity-preserve` option set to `false`, all network identity information, including LIFs and their associated IP addresses, must be manually configured on the destination SVM after a failover.
**Company Background** A global logistics company, GlobalShip, relies on a containerized microservices application running on a Kubernetes cluster for its core shipment tracking system. The application uses statefulsets that store persistent data on NetApp ONTAP storage via the Astra Trident CSI driver. The company operates in a highly competitive market where application downtime directly translates to significant financial loss and reputational damage. **Current Situation** The Kubernetes cluster is deployed in a single data center. The current data protection strategy involves taking nightly application-consistent snapshots using Astra Control Center. While this protects against data corruption, the executive team is concerned about the lack of a disaster recovery (DR) solution. A recent audit highlighted that a full site failure would result in over 24 hours of data loss (RPO) and a recovery time (RTO) of up to 48 hours, which is unacceptable. **Requirements** - Implement a DR solution for the entire Kubernetes application, including its data and configuration. - The RPO must be reduced to less than 15 minutes. - The RTO for the application at the DR site must be under 2 hours. - The solution must be managed through Kubernetes-native tools and concepts. - The DR site has a separate ONTAP cluster and a new, empty Kubernetes cluster. **Constraints** - The two data centers have a high-speed, low-latency network connection. - The solution should not require manual intervention from storage administrators during failover. - The primary and DR Kubernetes clusters will have different network configurations. Which solution meets all of GlobalShip's requirements?
An administrator is troubleshooting a SnapMirror relationship that is lagging significantly. The `snapmirror show` command output indicates a healthy state, but the lag time is several hours and increasing. Network monitoring tools show no congestion or packet loss on the intercluster network. The source volume is experiencing a high rate of change. Which ONTAP CLI command would provide the most detailed insight into the progress of individual transfer jobs and help identify potential bottlenecks?
A consultant is designing a data protection solution for a customer's new ONTAP cluster. The customer has two main requirements: 1. Long-term, space-efficient archival of daily file system backups for 7 years. 2. Near-instantaneous, point-in-time recovery for a critical database with an RPO of 5 minutes. Which combination of NetApp technologies should be proposed to meet these distinct requirements?
During the implementation of a new SnapMirror active sync solution, the deployment fails at the step where the ONTAP Mediator is added to the consistency group. The administrator verifies that the Mediator VM is running and has network connectivity to the management LIFs of both ONTAP clusters. What is a common cause for this specific failure?
A storage administrator needs to restore a single 50 KB configuration file within a 2 TB LUN that was accidentally deleted an hour ago. The LUN is part of a volume that has hourly snapshot copies. The production application using this LUN cannot be taken offline. What is the most efficient method to recover the file with minimal disruption?
A university's research department uses a large NFSv4.1 file share for collaborative projects. The volume has a snapshot autodelete policy configured to prevent it from running out of space. Despite this, an administrator receives a 'Volume Full' alert. Investigation reveals that numerous snapshots exist, but the autodelete process is not removing them. Which condition would prevent the snapshot autodelete policy from functioning as expected?
An e-commerce company wants to protect their on-premises ONTAP cluster by replicating key volumes to Cloud Volumes ONTAP in AWS. They need to manage this hybrid cloud replication using a centralized, graphical interface. Which three components are required to achieve this? (Select THREE)
