NetApp Exam NS0-593 Topic 2 Question 70 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-593 exam
Question #: 70
Topic #: 2
[All NS0-593 Questions]

You have a 4-node NetApp ONTAP 9.8 cluster with an AFF A400 HA pair and a FAS8300 HA pair with 16 TB NL-SAS drives. You are asked to automatically tier 150 TB of Snapshot copy data from the AFF A400 aggregates to the FAS8300.

In this scenario, which ONTAP license must be added to the cluster to accomplish this task?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

FabricPool is an ONTAP feature that enables tiering of cold data from SSD aggregates to low-cost object storage, either on-premises or in the cloud1.FabricPool requires a license to be installed on the cluster, and the license type depends on the cloud tier being used2.In this scenario, the cloud tier is another ONTAP cluster (FAS8300), which is not supported by the new Cloud Tiering license that is used for most FabricPool configurations3.Therefore, the old FabricPool license that is retained for dark sites or MetroCluster systems using FabricPool Mirror must be used3.The FabricPool license defines the amount of capacity that can be tiered to the cloud tier, and it can be increased by add-on orders4.Reference:

Haha, this is easy. The correct answer is D. FabricPool license. It's like the developers at NetApp are just trolling us with these questions. 'Automatically tier Snapshot data? Must be FabricPool!'

I'm going with B. VE license. Why? Because it sounds the most complicated and therefore the most likely answer in these certification exams. That's my strategy and I'm sticking to it!

D. FabricPool license, no doubt. Tiering Snapshot data across different tiers of storage is like the whole purpose of that feature. Piece of cake!

Hmm, the FabricPool license seems like the obvious choice here. I mean, why else would they mention tiering Snapshot data from the AFF to the FAS? It's gotta be that one.

Makes sense, the FabricPool license is the key to automatically tiering Snapshot data from the AFF to the FAS in this scenario.

Yeah, the FabricPool license enables you to tier cold data to less expensive storage, like the NL-SAS drives in the FAS8300.

I agree, the FabricPool license is specifically designed for tiering data to lower-cost storage tiers.
