NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer - Data Protection Questions 11–15 (page: 4)

Updated On: 10-Feb-2026

An administrator is setting up SnapMirror SVM replication. One of the source data volumes uses cloud tiering with the snapshot-only tiering policy.
Which cloud tiering policy is supported on the destination volume?

  1. none
  2. auto
  3. all
  4. snapshot-only

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

When using SnapMirror SVM replication, the cloud tiering policy on the destination volume must match the source if tiering is to be preserved. The only supported tiering policy in this context is snapshot-only, which moves cold Snapshot blocks to cloud tier. This ensures compatibility during replication.



What are the two modes for Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP)? (Choose two.)

  1. active
  2. listening
  3. passive
  4. learning

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP) operates in two modes:

Learning mode: ARP observes and learns baseline workload behaviors to distinguish between normal and abnormal activity.

Active mode: ARP actively monitors and can automatically respond to ransomware-like behavior by alerting or taking protective actions.



You have created a SnapMirror relationship from your production volume serving SMB/CIFS data to your DR cluster. After two days of updates, you do not see any of the expected snapshots on the secondary volume.

Why is SnapMirror failing to replicate snapshots?

  1. The SnapMirror label is missing from the SnapMirror policy on the secondary volume.
  2. SnapMirror is not properly licensed.
  3. SVM peering is not properly configured.
  4. The SnapMirror label is missing from the snapshot policy on the secondary volume.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

SnapMirror replication is driven by labels that match between the snapshot policy on the source volume and the SnapMirror policy. If the snapshot policy on the source does not include the correct SnapMirror label, SnapMirror will not recognize which snapshots to replicate, resulting in no transfers.



A customer is running NetApp ONTAP 9.14.1 software and asks you to protect some data in a way that even disk zeroing cannot delete.

Which command enforces the requirement?

  1. volume create -snaplock-type compliance
  2. volume create -snaplock-type enterprise
  3. aggregate create -snaplock-type compliance
  4. aggregate create -snaplock-type enterprise

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The SnapLock Compliance mode provides WORM (Write Once, Read Many) protection that is irrevocable, even by administrators, and not removable by disk zeroing or reinitialization. This satisfies stringent regulatory and tamper-proof data protection requirements.



You need to upgrade to NetApp ONTAP 9.12.1 software on your source cluster in a SnapMirror relationship. The source cluster differs from the destination cluster and you want to take advantage of version-flexible SnapMirror replication.

Which option should you choose?

  1. SnapMirror automatically converts existing DP-type relationships to XDP-type relationships.
  2. Run the command snapmirror resync and set the type to XDP.
  3. Delete the XDP-type relationship and create a new DP-type relationship.
  4. Delete the DP-type relationship and create a new XDP-type relationship.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

To take advantage of version-flexible SnapMirror (introduced with XDP-type relationships), you must delete the existing DP-type relationship and create a new one using type XDP. DP-type relationships do not support version flexibility, which allows the source and destination clusters to run different ONTAP versions.
