NetApp NS0-005 Exam - Topic 3 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-005 exam

Question #: 4
Topic #: 3

An associate is using NetApp BlueXP to replicate data to NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP from a NetApp AFF system for disaster recovery purposes. What must be done to the SnapMirror relationship to activate the destination volume for data access?

AUpdate

BBreak

CDelete

DResync

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Explanation

Break (Correct Answer): The 'Break' operation interrupts the SnapMirror relationship and effectively 'promotes' the destination volume to a read/write state. This is the required step to allow applications and users to actively write da1ta to the volume during a disaster recovery scenario.

Update: This action manually triggers a replication transfer to bring the destination volume up to date with the source but keeps the destination read-only.

Delete: This completely removes the relationship configuration. While it stops replication, it is generally not the correct workflow for activating DR because it removes the link entirely rather than just pausing it for failover.

Resync: This is used to re-establish the relationship, often to sync data back to the original source (failback) or to resume replication after a break.

I'd just unplug the AFF system and call it a day. Disaster recovery solved!

D. Break the SnapMirror relationship? That's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Not a smart move.

C. Resync is the correct answer. You need to resync the SnapMirror relationship to activate the destination volume.

I feel like resyncing is more about getting the data back in sync, not activating access. I think breaking it is the right answer.

If I remember correctly, breaking the SnapMirror is what activates the destination volume, but I might be mixing it up with resyncing.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think updating the SnapMirror relationship was involved, but I can't recall the exact steps.

I think we need to break the SnapMirror relationship to allow access to the destination volume, but I'm not completely sure.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is B) delete also a possibility? I'll have to review the SnapMirror concepts again before deciding.

I feel pretty confident that D) break is the right answer here. Breaking the SnapMirror relationship is the way to make the destination volume accessible.

Okay, let me walk through this step-by-step. We need to activate the destination volume, so I'm leaning towards D) break to sever the SnapMirror relationship.
