QUESTION NO: 5
An aggregate is composed of twelve 36-Gigabyte disks. A drive fails and only 72-Gigabyte spare
disks are available. Data ONTAP will then perform what action.
A. Chooses a 72-Gigabyte disk and use it as is.

B. Chooses a 72-Gigabyte disk and right-size it.
C. Halts after 24 hour of running in degraded mode.
D. Alerts you that there are no 36-Gigabyte disks and wait for one to be inserted.
Answer: B
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196986/html/GUID-8A91F6A2-61B8-42C3-
AEAB7D5AA9BBE9CF.html

If a disk fails and no hot spare disk that exactly matches the failed disk is available, Data ONTAP
uses the best available spare. Understanding how Data ONTAP chooses an appropriate spare
when there is no matching spare enables you to optimize your spare allocation for your
environment.
Data ONTAP picks a non-matching hot spare based on the following criteria (and more; in the link
above):
If the available hot spares are not the correct size, Data ONTAP uses one that is the next size up,
if there is one.
The replacement disk is downsized (aka right sized) to match the size of the disk it is replacing;
the extra capacity is not available.
QUESTION NO: 6
Which statement is true about expanding an aggregate from 32-bit to 64-bit in place?
A. All aggregates are automatically converted from 32-bit to 64-bit with the Data ONTAP 8.1
upgrade.
B. The expansion is triggered by an aggr convert command.
C. The expansion is triggered by adding disks to exceed 16 TB.
D. The 32-bit aggregates are degraded and must be Volume SnapMirrored to a new 64-bit
aggregates with Data ONTAP 8.1 upgrade.
Answer: C
Explanation:
http://www.ntapgeek.com/2011/12/how-in-place-expansion-works.html
To upgrade an aggregate in-place, the only available method is to add disks to expand the
aggregate to >16TB.
QUESTION NO: 7
What utility on the storage system will allow you to capture network packet information?
A. Snoop
B. Netstats
C. Pktt
D. Traceroute

Answer: C
Explanation:
The pktt command controls a simple on-filer packet tracing facility. Packets can be captured into a
trace buffer then dumped to a file, or the captured data can be logged to a file. The data is stored
in "tcpdump" format, and can be directly viewed with tcpdump, ethereal, and perhaps other
viewers. The output can also be converted using the editcap(1) program to a variety of other
formats, including Sniffer, NetMon, and snoop.
QUESTION NO: 8
The root admin on the UNIX box receives an “Access Denied” message when he attempts to
access a newly mounted qtree. What’s the most likely cause of this error?
A. The qtree is missing from the /etc/hosts file.

B. NFS is turned off on the storage system.
C. The qtree is set to ntfs security style.
D. The qtree has not been exported.
Answer: C
Explanation:

C646AA85E9E0.html
Only hostnames and IPs are referenced in /etc/hosts, so A is incorrect. The question states that
the qtree was mounted, and B and D would preclude this so they are incorrect.
You need to set a qtree to mixed or unix security style to support UNIX users.
QUESTION NO: 9
Which two modes support using SnapMirror over multiple network paths?
A. Standalone
B. Partner
C. Multi

D. Failover
E. Give back
Answer: C,D
Explanation:

E6BBC0D3F43F.html
http://backdrift.org/man/netapp/man5/na_snapmirror.conf.5.html
Two multipath methods are supported:

The multiplexing mode causes snapmirror to use both paths at the same time. If one should fail, it
will switch to use the remaining path only and use both again should the failing path be repaired.
Failover mode causes snapmirror to use the first path as the desired path and only use the second
path should problems arise with the first path.
QUESTION NO: 10
Identify the two commands that could be entered on the SnapMirror destination storage system.
(Choose two)
A. Options snapmirror.access on
B. Options snapmirror.resync on
C. Snapmirror initialize
D. Snap mirror resync
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_snapmirror.1.html
snapmirror initialize [ -S source ] [ -k kilobytes ] [ -s src_snap ] [ -c
create_dest_snap ] [ -w ] destination Starts an initial transfer over the network. An initial transfer is
required before update transfers can take place.
The initialize command must be issued on the destination node. If the destination is a volume, it
must be restricted (see na_vol(1) for information on how to examine and restrict volumes). If the
destination is a qtree, it must not already exist (see na_qtree(1) for information on how to list
qtrees). If a qtree already exists, it must be renamed or removed (using an NFS or CIFS client), or
snapmirror initialize to that qtree will not work.
snapmirror resync [ -n ] [ -f ] [ -S source ] [ -k kilobytes ] [ -s src_snap ]

[ -c create_dest_snap ] [ -w ] destination Resynchronizes a broken-off destination to its former

source, putting the destination in the snapmirrored state and making it ready for update transfers.
The resync command must be issued on the destination node.

What SnapDrive does

SnapDrive software integrates with the Windows Volume Manager so that NetApp filers can serve
as virtual storage devices for application data in Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003
environments.
SnapDrive is dependent on the virtual disk service. The virtual disk service must be started on the
host prior to installing SnapDrive. SnapDrive manages virtual disks (LUNs) on a NetApp filer,
making these virtual disks available as local disks on Windows hosts. This allows Windows hosts
to interact with the virtual disks just as if they belonged to a directly attached redundant array of
independent disks (RAID).
SnapDrive provides the following additional features:

It enables online storage configuration, virtual disk expansion, and streamlined management.
It integrates NetApp Snapshot technology, which creates point-in-time images of data stored on
virtual disks.
It works in conjunction with SnapMirror® software to facilitate disaster recovery from either
asynchronously or synchronously mirrored destination volumes.
QUESTION NO: 12
Which storage system command would display the WWPNs of hosts that have logged into storage

system using a Fibre Channel connection?
A. fcp config
B. fcp initiator show
C. fcp show –i
D. fcp show initiator
Answer: D
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_fcp.1.html
fcp show initiator [ -v ] [ adapter ]

If no adapter name is given, information about all initiators connected to all adapters are shown.
The command displays the portname of initiators that are currently logged in with the Fibre
Channel target adapters. If the portname is in an initiator group setup through the igroup
command, then the group name is also displayed. Similarly, all aliases set with the fcp wwpn-alias
command for the portname are displayed as well.
If the -v flag is given, the command displays the Fibre Channel host address and the
nodename/portname of the initiators as well.
QUESTION NO: 13
In a Fiber Channel configuration, the host’s HBA is referred to as the ___________, and the

QUESTION NO: 14
Which action will cause a currently in-sync SnapMirror relationship to fail out of sync?
A. Running snapmirroe update on the source storage system.

B. Running snapmirror release on the source storage system.
C. Modifying the /etc/snapmirror.conf file for the relationship on the source storage system
D. Modifying the /etc/snapmirror.conf file for the relationship on the destination storage system.
Answer: D
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man5/na_snapmirror.conf.5.html
snapmirror update [ -S source ] [ -k kilobytes ] [ -s src_snap ] [ -c
create_dest_snap ] [ -w ] destination
For asynchronous mirrors, an update is immediately started from the source to the destination to
update the mirror with the contents of the source.
For synchronous mirrors, a snapshot is created on the source volume which becomes visible to
clients of the destination volume.
The snapmirror update command must be issued on the destination filer.

snapmirror release source { filer:volume | filer:qtree }
Tell SnapMirror that a certain direct mirror is no longer going to request updates.
If a certain destination is no longer going to request updates, you must tell SnapMirror so that it
will no longer retain a snapshot for that destination. This command will remove snapshots that are
no longer needed for replication to that destination, and can be used to clean up SnapMirror-
created snapshots after snapmirror break is issued on the destination side.
The source argument is the source volume or qtree that the destination is to be released from. The
destination argument should be either the destination filer and destination volume name or the
destination filer and destination qtree path. You can use a line from the output of the snapmirror
destinations command as the set of arguments to this command. The /etc/snapmirror.conf file
exists on the node containing the mirror used for SnapMirror.
QUESTION NO: 15
You are trying to do a single file SnapRestore for a file, but you are receiving an error message
that the directory structure no longer exists. Which is the most likely explanation?
A. Once the directory structure has been deleted, you cannot restore the file using single file
SnapRestore. You must now SnapRestore the volume.
B. Snapshot copies have been created since the original directory structure was deleted.
C. You must recreate the directory structure before trying to restore the file.
D. You cannot restore a file to an alternate location.

Answer: C
Explanation:

698C1299E29D.html
You can restore a file only to the volume where it was originally located. The directory structure to
which a file is to be restored must be the same as that specified in the path. If this directory
structure does not exist, you must create it before restoring the file.
QUESTION NO: 16

Which exportfs command will temporally export the resource while ignoring the options specified in
the /etc/exports file?
A. exportfs – v <path>
B. exportfs –u <path>
C. exportfs –a <path>
D. exportfs – i <path>
Answer: D

Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196890/html/man1/na_exportfs.1.html
exportfs [ -v ] [ -io options ] path -i Ignores the options specified for a file system path in the
/etc/exports file. If you do not specify the –I option with the -o option, Data ONTAP uses the
options specified for the file system path in the /etc/ exports file instead of the options you specify
on the command line.

QUESTION NO: 25
Which two cp types would indicate a busy storage system? (Choose two).
A. cp_from_log_full
B. cp_from_busy
C. cp_from_cp
D. cp_from_timer
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
http://backdrift.org/man/netapp/man1/na_sysstat.1.html
http://redhunter.com/blog/2010/02/11/netapp-consistency-points-in-cacti/
cp_from_log_full (log full) - the current NVRAM bank is full and the system switches to the other
one and starts writing this to disk. Very heavy write activity.

cp_from_cp (aka Back to Back) - filer is overloaded. The write traffic is coming in faster than it can
be written and the filer is running out of NVRAM capacity in one bank before the data in the other
bank can be written.
cp_from_busy is not a real cp type

cp_from_timer - 10 seconds since the last CP – it means the system is pretty idle write-wise.
QUESTION NO: 26

3. Cutover
QUESTION NO: 27
Which statement describes the results of the SnapMirror resynce command?
A. Resynchronization finds the newest common snapshot shared by the two volumes or qtree, and
removes all newer information on the storage system on which the command is run.
B. Resynchronization will cause the loss of all data written to the destination after the original base

snapshot was made.
C. Resynchronization will update the snapshot on the destination filer.
D. Resynchronization will update the snapshot on the source filer.
Answer: A
Explanation:
snapmirror resync
[ -n ] [ -f ] [ -S source ] [ -k kilobytes ] [ -s src_snap ] [ -c
create_dest_snap ] [ -w ] destination
Resynchronizes a broken-off destination to its former source, putting the destination in the
snapmirrored state and making it ready for update transfers. The resync command must be issued
on the destination node.
The resync command can cause data loss on the destination. Because it is effectively making
destination a replica of the source, any edits made to the destination after the break will be
undone.
For formerly mirrored volumes, the resync command effectively performs a SnapRestore (see
na_vol
(1)) on the destination to the newest snapshot which is common to both the source and the
destination. In most cases, this is the last snapshot transferred from the source to the destination,
but it can be any snapshot which is on both the source and destination due to SnapMirror
replication. If new data has been written to the destination since the newest common snapshot
was created, that data will be lost during the resync operation.
QUESTION NO: 28
If you were troubleshooting and wanted to look at SnapMirror log files, what is the path to these
files?
A. /vol/vol0/etc/log/snaplog/
B. /vol/vol0/etc/snapmirror/
C. /vol/vol0/etc/snaplog/
D. /vol/vol0/etc/log/
Answer: D
Explanation:

The root volume is always vol0 and etc is contained therein. When exporting the root volume via
NFS, the path is/vol/vol0; so the full path to snapmirror log files is /vol/vol0/etc/log.
/etc/log/snapmirror.
This file logs SnapMirror activity. Log file for current week.
/etc/log/snapmirror.[0-5] SnapMirror log files for previous weeks.
QUESTION NO: 29
Host multi-pathing describes a ____________ solution that has at least two distinct
______________ paths to a LUN.
A. Token ring, physical

B. FC SAN, virtual
C. FC or IP SAN, virtual
D. FC or IP SAN, Physical
Answer: D
Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipath_I/O
Fiber Channel (FC), FCoE and iSCSI encapsulate SCSI-3. FCoE and iSCSI further encapsulate
the transport within IP; hence the term IP SAN.
In computer storage, multipath I/O is a fault-tolerance and performance enhancement technique

whereby there is more than one physical path between the CPU in a computer system and its
mass storage devices through the buses, controllers, switches, and bridge devices connecting
them.
A simple example would be a SCSI disk connected to two SCSI controllers on the same computer
or a disk connected to two Fibre Channel ports. Should one controller, port or switch fail, the
operating system can route I/O through the remaining controller transparently to the application,
with no changes visible to the applications, other than perhaps incremental latency.
QUESTION NO: 30
Which two will allow you to read and analyze a packet trace file generated by the storage system?
(Choose two)

B. Pktt
C. Netmon
D. Eternal View
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
pktt is part of the Data OnTap command set.
The output of pktt is not very human-readable, but it utilizes the tcpdump format which many traffic
analyzers can read or import. Only two such analyzers have been offered here.
Wireshark is the successor of Etherreal, and available for several platforms. Netmon is a Microsoft
project, available for Windows, soon to be deprecated by the Microsoft Message Analyzer project.
QUESTION NO: 31
How does the NetApp Remote Agent (RSA) connect to NetApp Support?
A. NetApp Support initiates a non-secure connection to the RSA.

B. NetApp Support initiates a secure connection to the RSA.
C. The RSA initiates a secure connection to NetApp Support.
D. The RSA initiates a non-secure connection to NetApp support.
Answer: C
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMP1200040
Remote Support Agent is the facility to provide NetApp Support Engineers with the ability to
remotely trigger AutoSupport.
Remote Support Agent uses HTTP or HTTPS to communicate with the storage controller to initiate
commands and to collect files. It uses HTTPS to send system logs and core files from the Data
ONTAP root volume to Remote Support Enterprise on the NetApp Support side.
NetApp RSA is not related to the RSA public key encryption algorithm.
QUESTION NO: 32

Which two commands can be used to enable LUN reservations? (Choose two)
A. lun set reservation

B. lun reservation set
C. lun map
D. lun create
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_lun.1.html
lun set reservation lun_path [ enable | disable ]

Enables or disables the space reservation on the LUN. If no arguments are supplied after the
lun_path, then the space reservation status of the given lun_path is displayed.
lun create -s size -t ostype [ -o noreserve ] [ -e space_alloc ] lun_path
This usage of the lun create command should be employed to create a new LUN of given size,
with initially zero contents. The LUN is created at the lun_path given. No file should already exist
at the given lun_path. The directory specified in the lun_path must be a qtree root directory.
The size is specified in bytes. Optionally, a number followed by a one-character multiplier suffix
can be used: c (1), w (2), b (512), k (1024), m (k*k), g (k*m), t (m*m).
The size of the created LUN could be larger than the size specified, in order to get an integral
number of cylinders while reporting the geometry using SAN protocols.
The size of the LUN actually created is reported if it is different from that specified in the
command.
The mandatory ostype argument is one of: solaris (the LUN will be used to store a Solaris raw disk
in a singleslice partition), windows (the LUN will be used to store a raw disk device in a single-
partition Windows disk using the MBR (Master Boot Record) partitioning style), hpux (the LUN will
be used to store HP-UX data), aix (the LUN will be used to store AIX data), vld (the LUN contains
a SnapManager VLD), linux (the LUN will be used to store a Linux raw disk without any partition
table), netware (the LUN will be used to store NetWare data), vmware (the LUN will be used to
store VMware data), windows_gpt (the LUN will be used to store Windows data using the GPT
(GUID Partition Type) partitioning style), windows_2008 (the LUN will be used to store Windows
data for Windows 2008 systems), openvms (the LUN will be used to store Open-VMS data), xen
(the LUN will be used to store Xen data), hyper_v (the LUN will be used to store Hyper-V data),
solaris_efi
By default, the LUN is space-reserved. To manage space usage manually, -o noreserve can be
specified.

Using this option will create a LUN without any space being reserved. Provisioning threshold
events can be enabled by specifying -e space_alloc option. This option has to be used in
conjunction with -o noreserve.
lun map [ -f ] lun_path initiator_group [ lun_id ]

Maps a LUN to all the initiators in the supplied group. If a LUN ID is not specified, the smallest
number that can be used for the various initiators in the group is automatically picked. Note that
this command can be used multiple times to configure multiple maps for a LUN, or for an initiator
group. Once created, you can use lun show -m to list all the LUN mappings.
The optional -f argument disables checking with the HA partner for LUN mapping conflicts.
QUESTION NO: 33
Which Data ONTAP option sets system-wide for all transfers?
A. Options transfers.wide.enable
B. Options transfer.throttle.enable.
C. Option replication.wide.enable
D. Options replication.throttle.enable
Answer: D
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_options.1.html
replication.throttle.enable Enables global network throttling of SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers.

The default value for this option is off.
replication.throttle.incoming.max_kbs
This option specifies the maximum total bandwidth used by all the incoming (applied at
destination) SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers, specified in kilobytes/sec. The default value for
this option is unlimited, which means there is no limit on total bandwidth used. This option is valid
only when the option replication.throttle.enable is on.
replication.throttle.outgoing.max_kbs
This option specifies the maximum total bandwidth used by all the outgoing (applied at source)
SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers specified in kilobytes/sec. The default value for this option is
unlimited, which means there is no limit on total bandwidth used. This option is valid only when the
option replication.throttle.enable is on.

snapvault snap sched [ -f ] [ -x ] [ -o options ] [ volname [ snapname [ schedule ]]]
schedule is cnt[@day_list][@hour_list] or cnt[@hour_list][@day_list]
In the schedule, cnt tells SnapVault how many of the snapshots to keep for primaries and for non-
SnapLock secondary volumes. The snapshots will be numbered newest to oldest from 0 to cnt-1.
When creating a new snapshot, SnapVault will delete the oldest snapshots, increment by one the
number on the remaining snapshots and then create a new number 0 snapshot. If a snapshot is
missing from the sequence (e.g. sv.0, sv.1, and sv.3 exist but sv.2 does not), only snapshots that
need to be renumbered to make room for the new sv.0 snapshot will be renumbered. In the
example, sv.0 and sv.1 would be renamed to sv.1 and sv.2, but sv.3 would remain unchanged.
The cnt in the schedule is interpreted differently for SnapVault secondary SnapLock volumes. For
SnapLock secondary volumes, snapshots are created with a name that includes an encoded date
and time of when the snapshot is created. These snapshots are never renamed and they are
never automatically deleted. These snapshots may be deleted using snap delete after the
retention period of the snapshot has expired. If cnt is 0, no snapshots will be taken. If cnt is any
non-zero value, snapshots will be taken and no snapshots will be automatically deleted.
If specified, the day_list specifies which days of the week the snapshot should be created. The
day_list is a comma-separated list of the first three letters of the day: mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat,
sun. The names are not case sensitive. Day ranges such as mon-fri can also be given. The default
day_list is mon-sun, i.e. every day.
If specified, the hour_list specifies which hours of the day the snapshot should be created, on each
scheduled day. The hour_list is a comma-separated list of the hours during the day, where hours
are integers from 0 to 23. Hour ranges such as 8-17 are allowed. Also, step values are allowed in
conjuction with ranges. For example, 0-23/2 means "every two hours". The default hour_list is 0,
i.e. midnight on the morning of each scheduled day.

UNIX allows file access based on___________.
A. NT ACLs and UNIX permissions.

B. NT ACLs and SID.
C. GID or UID and UNIX permissions.
D. GID or UID and ACLs.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In OnTap 8.0, when UNIX security style is selected, only UNIX security objects can be used. The
correct answer is GID, UID and UNIX permissions.
Basic UNIX permissions are organized into three classes: user, group, and others.
UNIX operating systems identify users with a numerical value: a user identifier, also known as a
UID or User ID. Each user is a member of a group of the same name as the user. Like UIDs,
groups (GIDs) are also specified using a numerical value.

What are two methods of protecting LUN overwrites using Snapshot copies on a volume with
fractional reserve set to 0%? (Choose two)
A. Snap Autodelete
B. iGroup throttle
C. LUN reset
D. Volume AutoSize
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
https://communities.netapp.com/groups/chris-kranz-hardware-pro/blog/2009/03/05/fractional-

From the article:

"If you reduce the Fractional Reservation to 0, you need to make sure the rate of change is within
the volume size, or you need to make sure the volume can auto-grow when required or even snap
auto-delete to reduce the reserved blocks and free up space (although I am not a huge fan of snap
auto-delete for various reasons)."

Which three protocols can coexist on a NetApp storage system? (Choose three)
A. DAFS
B. CIFS
C. DFS
D. FCP
E. NFS
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation:
Data OnTap can simultaneously serve NAS and SAN protocols. CIFS, NFS, and FC protocol are
examples of NAS and SAN protocols respectively.
Data OnTap 7.1 or later does not support DAFS.

DFS provides location transparency and redundancy by allowing shares in multiple different
locations to be logically grouped under one folder, or DFS root. While practically a CIFS server
shared by a Data OnTap filer can be a DFS target, DFS namespaces can only be hosted on
Windows systems.

Answer: C
Explanation:
https://communities.netapp.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/4791-102-2-13466/tr-3466.pdf
In order to restrict the NetApp secondary systems that are allowed to initiate backups from an
OSSV host, the QSM Access List field can be populated with the hostname of the secondary using
the OSSV Configurator utility. When using this option, make sure the “Check QSM Access List”
box is enabled.

The snapvault.access option on the NetApp secondary can be used to restrict the OSSV hosts
that are allowed to initiate restores from that secondary system. This option can be populated with
a list of hostnames for each OSSV host. For example:
options snapvault.access host=ossv1,ossv2,ossv3

QUESTION NO: 47
When using MetroCluster in a forced takeover mode, identify two methods for restricting access to
the disaster site node. (Choose two)
A. Use manual fencing

B. Use the cf giveback –f command.
C. Use the cf forcetakeover –d command.
D. Turn off power to the disaster site node.
E. Isolate the failed node from the surviving node.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
http://vipulvajpayeestorage.blogspot.com/2012/01/manually-failover-activity-in-netapp.html
In order to test or effect a Disaster Recovery operation, you must restrict access to the disaster
site node to prevent the node from resuming service. If you do not, you risk the possibility of data
corruption.
Access to the disaster site note can be restricted in the following ways:
Turn off the power to the disaster site node Use "manual fencing" (Disconnect VI interconnects
and fiber channel cables; either physically or through configuration changes on the fabric
switches.)
Isolating the failed node from the surviving node could still lead to the possibility of a split brain, so
this is not a correct answer.
QUESTION NO: 48
The two copies SyncMirror volume are called ____________, which are physical copies of the
same file system and consist of one or more RAID groups.
A. Snapshot copies
B. Aggregates
C. Plexes

D. Volumes
Answer: C
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196991/html/GUID-D4D7C7F0-9063-4099-B5CA-
8FEE619EEF1D.html
SyncMirror is a feature of Data OnTap used to mirror data to two separate aggregates. It allows for
real-time mirroring of data to matching aggregates physically connected to the same storage
system.
SyncMirror provides for synchronous mirroring of data, implemented at the RAID level. You can
use SyncMirror to create aggregates that consist of two copies of the same WAFL file system. The
two copies, known as plexes, are simultaneously updated. Therefore, the copies are always
identical. The two plexes are directly connected to the same system.
The following provides information about the activities of SyncMirror:

SyncMirror can be used to mirror aggregates and traditional volumes. (A traditional volume is
essentially an aggregate with a single volume that spans the entire aggregate.)
SyncMirror cannot be used to mirror FlexVol volumes. However, FlexVol volumes can be mirrored
as part of an aggregate.
SyncMirror is different from synchronous SnapMirror.
QUESTION NO: 49
You want to create an automated test environment that performs a single file SnapRestore time
you run the procedure, however, SnapRestore prompts you to confirm your decision to revert the
file. How can you automate this step?
A. Use the -f option with the snap restore command.

B. Enable the options snaprestore_noprompts enable = on option.
C. These prompts are for data protection and auditing and cannot be overridden.
D. Enter the priv set advanced mode on the storage system and prompt will not appear.
Answer: A
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_snap.1.html
snap restore [ -f ] [ -t vol | file ] [ -s snapshot_name ] [ -r restore_as_path ]

vol_name | restore_from_path
Reverts a volume to a specified Snapshot copy, or reverts a single file to a revision from a
specified Snapshot copy.
Before reverting the volume or file, the user is requested to confirm the operation. The -f option
suppresses this confirmation step.

Five minutes ago, you performed a single file SnapRestore on a large NFS file. 40% of your NFS
users are now complaining about getting “stale file handles” for the file. Which is the most likely
cause of this problem, and the best procedure to correct it?
A. This might be due to an NFS storage system and client mismatch. Check to see that these
users have the same version of the NFS client that existed at the time the snapshot was taken.

B. NFS users why try to access a reverted file without first reopening it might get a “stale file
handle” error message. Have the users try to reopen the file and see if the problem is resolved.
C. After a single file SnapRestore, NFS users have to reboot their systems. Have them reboot
their systems.
D. These users are on a different subnet from the others. Start troubleshooting by checking their
subnet.
Answer: B

Reverting a file to a selected Snapshot copy

Using snap restore to revert a single file to a selected Snapshot copy is practical when the file is
so large that you cannot copy the previous file version from the Snapshot copy to the active file
system.
Before you begin Ensure that you notify the network users before reverting a file so that they know
that the current data in the file will be replaced by that of the selected Snapshot copy.
Note: NFS users who try to access a reverted file without first reopening it might get a stale file
handle error message after the volume reversion.

1. Validate that you can access the remote storage by entering the following command:
aggr status -r
Note: A (level-0 resync in progress) message indicates that a plex cannot be rejoined.
2. Turn on the power to the node at the disaster site. After the node at the disaster site boots up, it
displays the following:
Waiting for giveback...(Press Ctrl-C to abort wait)
3. If the aggregates at the disaster site are online, take them offline by entering the following
command for each aggregate that was split:
aggr offline disaster_aggr
disaster_aggr is the name of the aggregate at the disaster site.
Note: An error message appears if the aggregate is already offline.
4. Destroy every target plex that is in a level-0 resync state by entering the following command:
aggr destroy plex_name
5. Re-create the mirrored aggregates by entering the following command for each aggregate that
was split:
aggr mirror aggr_name -v disaster_aggr
aggr_name is the aggregate on the surviving site’s node.
disaster_aggr is the aggregate on the disaster site’s node.
The aggr_name aggregate rejoins the disaster_aggr aggregate to reestablish the MetroCluster
configuration.
6. Enter the following command at the partner node:

cf giveback
The node at the disaster site reboots.
QUESTION NO: 55
When running deduplication on SnapVault destinations, which three statements are true?
A. The target SnapVault controller deduplicates inline.

B. The source SnapVault data is deduplicated inline on the target before it is written to disk.
C. Deduplication internally synchronizes with the SnapVault schedule on the destination.
D. The source (primary) system sends duplicated data even if the source data is deduplicated.

E. Deduplication with SnapVault creates a snapshot, deduplicates, then deletes and recreates the
snapshot to effectively deduplicate savings.
Answer: C,D,E
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196986/html/GUID-E5AD37DE-2F44-47DB-90A3-
C8E115FCBFB7.html
SnapVault replicates at the file level not the block level.
Deduplication is always a post-processed activity for Data OnTap, while compression is an inline
process.
The deduplication schedule depends on the SnapVault update schedule on the destination
system.
A new Snapshot copy replaces the archival Snapshot copy after deduplication finishes running on
the destination system. (The name of this new Snapshot copy is the same as that of the archival
copy, but the Snapshot copy uses a new timestamp, which is the creation time.)
The SnapVault update recognizes the deduplicated blocks as changed blocks. Thus, when
deduplication is run on an existing SnapVault source for the first time, all saved space is
transferred to the destination system.

QUESTION NO: 57
Which three /etc/snapmirror.conf entries will support synchronous or semi-synchronous

SnapMirror?
A. FilerA:source_vol FilerB:destination_vol visibility_interval = lhr, outstanding = 3ms,

cksum=crc32 syns
B. FilerA:source_vol FilerB:destination_vol – 0-55/5 * * *
C. FilerA:source_vol FilerB:destination_vol – sync
D. FilerA:source_vol FilerB:destination_vol outstanding=3s sync
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man5/na_snapmirror.conf.5.html
Each relationship entry of the /etc/snapmirror.conf file is a single line containing space-separated
fields.
The entry has this format:
Source destination arguments schedule schedule
This is the schedule used by the destination node for updating the mirror. It informs the SnapMirror
scheduler when transfers will be initiated. The schedule field can contain the word sync to specify
fully synchronous mirroring, semi-sync to specify semi-synchronous mirroring, or a cron-style
specification of when to update the mirror.
visibility_interval
The value for this argument is a number optionally followed by the suffixes: s (seconds), m
(minutes) or h (hours). If a suffix is not specified, value is interpreted as seconds. This argument
controls the amount of time before an automatic snapshot is created on the source volume that is
synchronously mirrored. The value is the number of seconds between automatically created
snapshots. The default value is 3 minutes. A small number here can negatively affect the
performance of the mirror. This argument is ignored for asynchronous mirrors.
Outstanding (deprecated)
This argument controls the performance versus synchronicity trade-off for synchronous mirrors.
The value for this argument is a number followed by the suffixes: ops (operations), ms
(milliseconds) or s (seconds). Setting a value less than 10s configures the mirror to run in fully
synchronous mode. Setting a value greater than or equal to 10s configures the mirror to run in
semi-synchronous mode. This argument is ignored for asynchronous mirrors. Please note that this
is a deprecated option. Use the schedule field to specify the synchronous mode for the mirror.
cksum

This controls which checksum algorithm is used to protect the data transmitted by SnapMirror.
Currently supported values are "none", "crc32c", and "crc32c_header_only". The value
"crc32c_header_only" has been added only for volume SnapMirror and is not supported for
synchronous SnapMirror and qtree SnapMirror.

QUESTION NO: 59
Which three attributes would you specify when creating a LUN? (Choose three)
A. The host operating system of the system attached to LUN.

B. The version of Data ONTAP
C. The size of the LUN.
D. The path to the LUN.
Answer: A,C,D

Explanation:
The usage for lun create is shown below. Options not in brackets are mandatory.
lun create -s size -t ostype [ -o noreserve ] [ -e space_alloc ] lun_path
This usage of the lun create command should be employed to create a new LUN of given size,
with initially zero contents. The LUN is created at the lun_path given. No file should already exist
at the given lun_path. The directory specified in the lun_path must be a qtree root directory.
The size is specified in bytes. Optionally, a number followed by a one-character multiplier suffix
can be used: c (1), w (2), b (512), k (1024), m (k*k), g (k*m), t (m*m).
The size of the created LUN could be larger than the size specified, in order to get an integral
number of cylinders while reporting the geometry using SAN protocols.
The size of the LUN actually created is reported if it is different from that specified in the
command.
The mandatory ostype argument is one of: solaris (the LUN will be used to store a Solaris raw disk
in a singleslice partition), windows (the LUN will be used to store a raw disk device in a single-
partition Windows disk using the MBR (Master Boot Record) partitioning style), hpux (the LUN will
be used to store HP-UX data), aix (the LUN will be used to store AIX data), vld (the LUN contains
a SnapManager VLD), linux (the LUN will be used to store a Linux raw disk without any partition
table), netware (the LUN will be used to store NetWare data), vmware (the LUN will be used to
store VMware data), windows_gpt (the LUN will be used to store Windows data using the GPT
(GUID Partition Type) partitioning style), windows_2008 (the LUN will be used to store Windows
data for Windows 2008 systems), openvms (the LUN will be used to store Open-VMS data), xen
(the LUN will be used to store Xen data), hyper_v (the LUN will be used to store Hyper-V data),
solaris_efi (the LUN will be used to store Solaris_EFI data).
By default, the LUN is space-reserved. To manage space usage manually, -o noreserve can be
specified.
Using this option will create a LUN without any space being reserved. Provisioning threshold
events can be enabled by specifying -e space_alloc option. This option has to be used in
conjunction with -o noreserve.

EAB803E7A8EB.html
For Data ONTAP to obtain the UID and GIDs for a CIFS user, it must first determine the user’s
UNIX-style name. It does this through user mapping.
QUESTION NO: 71
NTFS allows file access based on ___________.

A. NT ACLs and SID.
B. NT ACLs and UNIX permissions.
C. SID and password.
D. UNIX permissions.
Answer: A
Explanation:
In OnTap 8.0, when NTFS security style is used, only Windows style security objects are used.
For CIFS clients, security is handled using Windows NTFS ACLs.
For NFS clients, the NFS UID (user id) is mapped to a Windows SID (security identifier) and its
associated groups. Those mapped credentials are used to determine file access, based on the
NFTS ACL.
QUESTION NO: 72
UNIX allows file access based on __________.
A. GID or UID and ACLs.

B. GID or UID and UNIX permissions.
C. NT ACLs and SID.
D. NT ACLs and UNIX permissions.
Answer: B
Explanation:
* Unix-like operating systems identify users within the kernel by an unsigned integer value called a
user identifier, often abbreviated to UID or User ID. The range of UID values varies amongst
different systems; at the very least, a UID represents a 15-bit integer, ranging between 0 and
The UID value references users in the /etc/passwd file. Shadow password files and Network
Information Service also refer to numeric UIDs. The user identifier has become a necessary
component of Unix file systems and processes.
* In POSIX-compliant environments the command-line command id gives the user's user identifier
number as well as more information on the user account like the user name, primary user group
and group identifier (GID).

* Files and directories are owned by a user. The owner determines the file's owner class. Distinct
permissions apply to the owner.
Files and directories are assigned a group, which define the file's group class. Distinct permissions
apply to members of the file's group members. The owner may be a member of the file's group.
Users who are not the owner, nor a member of the group, comprise a file's others class. Distinct
permissions apply to others.
The effective permissions are determined based on the user's class. For example, the user who is
the owner of the file will have the permissions given to the owner class regardless of the
permissions assigned to the group class or others class.
QUESTION NO: 73
Executing this command will have what effect?
Options wafl.default_security_style ntfs
A. It will set the security style of all files to be ntfs.

B. It will change the security style of all qtrees to be ntfs.
C. It will change the security style of all existing volumes to be ntfs.
D. It will set the security style of all newly created volumes to ntfs.
Answer: D
Explanation:
wafl.default_security_style
Specifies the default security style assigned to a new volume. All qtrees created on the volume get
this as their security style. Legal values for this option are ùnix', `ntfs', or `mixed'. The default
value for this option is ùnix', unless the node is an NTFS-only node, in which case the default is
`ntfs'.
Note: if cifs setup is run after setting wafl.default_security_style, the filer will become an NTFS
security style filer.
QUESTION NO: 74
Which two statements apply to an entry in the /etc/exports file regarding exporting

directories/qtrees and volumes? (Choose two.)
A. Each volume must be exported separately.

B. Exports are accessible only to hosts with names.
C. User names used in an export must be resolvable.
D. Exports can access multiple paths on the same volume.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196890/html/man5/na_exports.5.html
IP addresses and wildcards can be used when specifying host targets in exports.
User names are not valid exports options, save for the anon option which utilizes a local system
UID or user name (i.e. no user name mapping or resolution is performed.)
The highest level in the filesystem that can be specified for an export is the volume level. Implicitly
this means that each volume must be exported separately.
An export provides access to paths below the export, implying that multiple paths on the same
volume can be exported from an export.
QUESTION NO: 75
To automatically export volumes and directories on storage system reboot, include them in the
/etc/exports file.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196890/html/man5/na_exports.5.html

Which two are Data ONTAP commands for displaying performance information? (Choose two.)
A. nfsstat
B. perfstat
C. sio_ntap_soll
D. sysstat
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_sysstat.1.html
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196890/html/man1/na_nfsstat.1.html
nfsstat and sysstat are OnTap commands used for performance information.
sio_ntap_soll is not an OnTap command.
Perfstat is a GUI performance tool, not an OnTap command. Think of PerfMon for Windows to
remind you that PerfStat is a Windows tool. Note how many of the ONTAP performance
commands end in stat.
QUESTION NO: 78
Which statement best describes the output of this command? sysstat -s 5
A. Display the default output every five seconds and terminate after five counts.
B. Display extended output every five seconds and print a summary after five counts.
C. Display extended output every five seconds and print a summary upon termination.

D. Display the default output every five seconds and print a summary upon termination.
Answer: D
Explanation:
-s
Display a summary of the output columns upon termination, descriptive columns such as `CP ty'
will not have summaries printed. Note that, with the exception of `Cache hit', the Àvg' summary
for percentage values is an average of percentages, not a true mean of the underlying data. The
Àvg' is only intended as a gross indicator of performance. For more detailed information use tools
such as na_nfsstat, na_netstat, or statit.
QUESTION NO: 79
To collect per client NFS statistics on a storage system, the option nfs.per_client_stats.enable

QUESTION NO: 87
What are three true statements about physical reallocation of data added in ONTAP 7.3? (Choose
three.)
A. Use reallocate -p pathname to run the physical reallocate.

B. Use aggr reallocate -p pathname to run the physical reallocate.
C. Reinitialize any SnapMirror relationship for the new physical geometry.
D. Volume Snapshots do not need to be deleted for the reallocate to run effectively.
E. Dont run it on files, volumes, and LUNs that are in an aggregate created by a version of ONTAP
earlier than 7.2.
Answer: A,D,E
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_reallocate.1.html
The -p option requests that reallocation of user data take place on the physical blocks in the
aggregate, but the logical block locations within a flexible volume are preserved.
Aggregate reallocation is not supported on aggregates created prior to Data ONTAP 7.2.
Using the -p option may reduce the extra storage requirements in a flexible volume when
reallocation is run on a volume with snapshots. It may also reduce the amount of data that needs
to be transmitted by SnapMirror on its next update after reallocation is performed on a SnapMirror
source volume.

QUESTION NO: 88
Physical Reallocation of a SnapMirror source volume increases the amount of data to transfer for
the next SnapMirror update.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_reallocate.1.html
Using the -p option may reduce the extra storage requirements in a flexible volume when
reallocation is run on a volume with snapshots. It may also reduce the amount of data that needs
to be transmitted by SnapMirror on its next update after reallocation is performed on a SnapMirror
source volume.

When you are setting up SnapMirror, which three are replication pre-requisites? (Choose three.)

A. The source volume must be offline.
B. SnapMirror must be licensed for each storage system.
C. If you are replicating a volume, you must create a restricted volume to be used as the
SnapMirror.
D. The capacity of the SnapMirror destination must be greater than or equal to the capacity of the
source destination volume.
Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
You need to fulfill a set of prerequisites before you can use SnapMirror:
- You must purchase and enable the SnapMirror license. If the SnapMirror source and destination
are on different systems, you must enable the SnapMirror license on each system.
- For SnapMirror volume replication, you must create a restricted volume to be used as the
destination volume.
SnapMirror does not automatically create a volume. For information about how to create volumes,
see the section on organizing data using volumes and qtrees in the Data ONTAP Storage
Management Guide for 7-Mode.
- For SnapMirror volume replication, the destination system must use a version of Data ONTAP
that is the same as or later than that of the SnapMirror source system.

QUESTION NO: 105
In a volume SnapMirror relationship, the source and destination volumes must be the same size.

A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
In an active volume SnapMirror relationship, the size of the source and destination file systems is
identical.
However, the size of the destination volume can be larger than or equal to the size of the source
volume. The size of the file systems must be identical to allow the source to be restored from the
destination.

QUESTION NO: 106
Which two statements apply to the fs_size_fixed volume option? (Choose two.)
A. The default setting is on.

B. This option is automatically set to be on when a volume becomes a SnapMirrored volume.
C. This option turns to off after the snapmirror break command is issued for the relationship.
D. This option causes the SnapMirror destination volume to remain the same size and not grow or
shrink when a SnapMirrored volume relationship is broken.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
This option causes the file system to remain the same size and not grow or shrink when a
SnapMirrored volume relationship is broken, or when a vol add is performed on it. This option is
automatically set to be on when a volume becomes a SnapMirrored volume. It will remain on after
the snapmirror break command is issued for the volume. This allows a volume to be SnapMirrored
back to the source without needing to add disks to the source volume. If the volume size is larger
than the file system size, turning off this option will force the file system to grow to the size of the
volume. The default setting is off.

QUESTION NO: 107

Which three statements apply to the SnapMirror visibility_interval argument? (Choose three.)
A. The default interval value is five minutes.

B. The smallest interval value supported is 30 seconds.
C. This variable controls the view of the data on the destination system.
D. By setting a value, you specify the amount of time before an automatic snapshot is created on
the source volume that is synchronously mirrored.
Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
http://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-3326.pdf
http://backdrift.org/man/netapp/man5/na_snapmirror.conf.5.html
http://hd.kvsconsulting.us/netappdoc/733docs/html/ontap/onlinebk/GUID-47724B21-7C7E-4AC9-
A497-9505B42C27AF.html
With SnapMirror Sync and SnapMirror Semi-Sync, changes to the source volume do not show up
immediately on the destination volume, even though the changes have been replicated. The
changes are first shown after the source system creates an automatic Snapshot copy of the
source volume.
Snapshot copies created on the source volume are immediately propagated to the destination
volume. The automatic Snapshot copies are created every three minutes by default.
To change the interval for automatic Snapshot copies, change the visibility_interval in the
snapmirror.conf file; however, performance can degrade if set to a smaller interval because
frequent
Snapshot copies cause additional processing such as cache consistency checking on the
destination system.
There is also a disadvantage in setting this to a large value. When the connection between the
systems has an outage and SnapMirror goes into asynchronous mode, SnapMirror uses the last
common Snapshot copy to transition into synchronous mode. This means that all data from the
last valid common Snapshot copy will need to be replicated from the source to the destination
storage system. If the visibility_interval is set to a large value, a large amount of data might have
to be transferred and it might take longer time for SnapMirror to transition into synchronous mode.
For these reasons, keep the default value of three minutes.
visibility_interval
The value for this argument is a number optionally followed by the suffixes: s (seconds), m
(minutes) or h (hours). If a suffix is not specified, value is interpreted as seconds. This argument
controls the amount of time before an automatic snapshot is created on the source volume that is
synchronously mirrored. The value is the number of seconds between automatically created
snapshots. The default value is 3 minutes. A small number here can negatively affect the

performance of the mirror. This argument is ignored for asynchronous mirrors.
visibility_interval={xs | xm | xh}
Determines the amount of time before an automatic Snapshot copy is created on the source
volume that is being replicated using synchronous or semi-synchronous SnapMirror. When
replicating synchronously or semisynchronously, using SnapMirror, changes to the source volume
do not show immediately on the destination volume, even though the changes have been
replicated. The changes are shown only after the source system takes an automatic Snapshot
copy of the source volume. This event occurs every three minutes by default.
You can change the interval for automatic Snapshot copies, but performance can degrade if you
set smaller intervals because Snapshot copies are taken more often. The smallest interval you can
set is 30 seconds.
Note: The s, m, and h suffixes specify seconds, minutes, and hours, respectively.
QUESTION NO: 108
SnapMirror will automatically try to restart a transfer after ___________.
A. an initial transfer is interrupted

B. a manual update is interrupted
C. a transfer interrupted by reboot
D. a scheduled incremental update is interrupted
Answer: D
Explanation:

The data structures that are backed up and restored through SnapVault depend on the primary
system.
On systems running Data ONTAP, the qtree is the basic unit of SnapVault backup and restore.
SnapVault backs up specified qtrees on the primary system to associated qtrees on the SnapVault
secondary system. If necessary, data is restored from the secondary qtrees back to their
associated primary qtrees.
On open systems storage platforms, the directory is the basic unit of SnapVault backup.
SnapVault backs up specified directories from the native system to specified qtrees in the
SnapVault secondary system.
If necessary SnapVault can restore an entire directory or a specified file to the open systems
platform.
The destination system uses a slightly more disk space and directories than the source system.

The snapvault restore command is run on the _________.
A. secondary system to push data to the primary system

B. primary system to pull data from the secondary system
C. secondary system to pull data from the primary system
D. secondary system to push data to the primary storage system
Answer: B
Explanation:
The snapvault command has a number of subcommands. The set of subcommands differs on the
primary and secondary.
On the primary, the subcommands allow users to configure and manage a set of snapshots for
potential replication to the secondary, to abort replication transfers to the secondary, to check
status, to restore data from the secondary, and to release resources when a primary qtree will no
longer be replicated to a secondary.
On the secondary, the subcommands allow users to configure and manage the replication of
primary paths to secondary qtrees, to configure and manage the snapshot schedules which
control when all the qtrees in a secondary volume are updated from their respective primary paths
and how many snapshots to save, to abort transfers, to check status, and to release resources
preserved to restart backups from a restored qtree.

What is the maximum distance between a standard clustered pair at 2Gbps?
A. 10 meters
B. 50 meters
C. 100 meters
D. 500 meters
Answer: D
Explanation:
The maximum cable length supported for 2Gbps is 500m, the same as the max cable length
between a NetApp storage system and a FC switch.
Stretch MetroCluster (sometimes referred to as nonswitched) is simply an active-active

configuration that can extend up to 500m depending on speed and cable type. It also includes
synchronous mirroring (SyncMirror®) and the ability to do a site failover with a single command.
See Figure 2. Additional resiliency can be provided through the use of multipathing.

QUESTION NO: 139

For aggregates or traditional volume SyncMirror to work correctly, the configuration of each plex
should be identical with regard to ____________.
A. NVRAM
B. Mirrored Snapshot copies
C. RAID groups and disk sizes
D. NDMP and Snapshot copies
Answer: C
Explanation:
SyncMirror is essentially a RAID-1 mirror; hence the name. The best practice is to mirror storage
of equal performance; i.e. identical RAID groups and disk sizes (number of spindles, IOPS). If you
were to mirror two storage devices of different performance, the slower device would be the
limiting factor.

What happens when two aggregates are rejoined?
A. It is not possible to rejoin aggregates.

B. Data ONTAP will always retain data from the newest aggregate.
C. Both aggregates revert to the last common snapshot before the split.
D. You will have a large new aggregate containing all volumes from both aggregates.
E. One of the aggregates will be overwritten and you will lose any data changed on it after the
split.
Answer: E
Explanation:
When you rejoin split aggregates, Data ONTAP mirrors the data from one aggregate to the other
and destroys data that existed on that aggregate before the rejoin.

QUESTION NO: 144
A mirrored volume has a failed disk, but there are no available spares in the pool from which the
degraded plex was built. Data ONTAP will __________.
A. halt all operations to volumes in that pool

B. choose spare disks to reconstruct from the opposite pool
C. warn you that there are no available spares from the proper pool
D. "halt" after 24 hours if spare disks are not added to the proper pool
Answer: C
Explanation:
Both ‘warn you that there are no available spares from the proper pool’ and ‘halt after 24 hours if
spare disk are not added to the proper pool’ are correct answers. However, since Data ONTAP
alerts you first, 'warn you that there are no available spares' is the best answer.

Which two are true when creating a SyncMirror volume? (Choose two.)
A. The disks selected for Plex 0 and Plex 1 must come from the same disk shelf.
B. The disks selected for Plex 0 and Plex 1 must come from the same disk pools.
C. The number of disks added must be an even number and equally divided between the two
plexes.
D. The disks are selected first on the basis of equivalent bytes per sector (bps) size, then on the
basis of the size of the disk. If there is no equivalent-sized disk, Data ONTAP takes a larger
capacity disk and right-sizes it.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
The rules for the selection of disks or array LUNs, for using as mirrored aggregates, are as
follows:
Disks or array LUNs selected for each plex must be in different pools.
The same number of disks or array LUNs must be in both the plexes.
Disks are selected first on the basis of equivalent bytes per sector (bps) size, then on the basis of
the size of the disk.
If there is no equivalent-sized disk, Data ONTAP uses a larger-capacity disk, and limits the size to
make it identically sized.
Data ONTAP names the plexes of the mirrored aggregate.

QUESTION NO: 147
After issuing the aggr split aggr0/plex0 aggrNew command ____________.
A. there is a new plex called aggrNew

B. there are two new plexes, plex0 and plexNew
C. there is a new mirrored aggregate called aggrNew
D. there are two unmirrored aggregates, aggr0 and aggrNew
E. flexible volumes are evenly split between aggr0 and aggrNew

Answer: D
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196890/html/man1/na_aggr.1.html
aggr split aggrname/plexname new_aggrname
Removes plexname from a mirrored aggregate and creates a new unmirrored aggregate named
new_aggrname that contains the plex. The original mirrored aggregate becomes unmirrored. The
plex to be split from the original aggregate must be functional (not partial), but it could be inactive,
resyncing, or out-ofdate.
Aggr split can therefore be used to gain access to a plex that is not up to date with respect to its
partner
plex, if its partner plex is currently failed.
If the aggregate in which plexname resides is embedded in a traditional volume, aggr split
behaves identically to vol split. The new aggregate is embedded in a new traditional volume of the
same name.
The aggregate in which plexname resides must contain exactly one flexible volume, aggr split will
by default rename the flexible volume image in the split-off plex to be the same as the new
aggregate.
If the original aggregate is restricted at the time of the split, the resulting aggregate will also be
restricted. If the restricted aggregate is hosting flexible volumes, they are not renamed at the time
of the split. Flexible volumes will be renamed later, when the name conflict is detected while
bringing an aggregate online. Flexible volumes in the aggregate that is brought online first keep
their names. That aggregate can be either the original aggregate, or the aggregate resulting from
the split. When the other aggregate is brought online later, flexible volumes in that aggregate will
be renamed.
If the plex of an aggregate embedded within a traditional volume is offline at the time of the split,
the resulting aggregate will be offline. When splitting a plex from an aggregate that hosts flexible
volumes, if that plex is offline, but the aggregate is online, the resulting aggregate will come online,
and its flexible volumes will be renamed. It is not allowed to split a plex from an offline aggregate.
A split mirror can be joined back together via the -v option to aggr mirror.

Which two statements are true of the cf forcetakeover -d command? (Choose two.)
A. Mirrored volumes are implicitly split.

B. Partner mailboxes must be available.
C. The failed cluster node is powered off automatically.
D. The surviving cluster node takes over the functions of the failed partner.

Answer: A,D
Explanation:
It is important to remember that this is the case only when a complete site is lost. In the case of a
failed controller at one of the sites, a normal cluster failover occurs. Due to the operation of
SyncMirror, there is also added protection from multidrive or complete shelf failures. When a
storage controller fails in an active-active configuration, the partner detects the failure and
automatically (if enabled) performs a takeover of the dataserving responsibilities from the failed
controller. Part of this process relies on the surviving controller being able to read information from
the disks on the failed controller. If this quorum of disks is not available, then automatic takeover
won’t be performed. In a MetroCluster configuration, manually executing a single command will
allow a takeover to occur in spite of the lack of a quorum of disks. This "forced takeover" process
breaks the mirrored relationships in order to bring the failed controller’s volumes on line.
forcetakeover -d is very dangerous. Not only can it cause data corruption, if not used carefully, it
can also lead to a situation where both the node and its partner are operational (split brain). As
such, it should only be used as a means of last resort when the takeover and forcetakeover
commands are unsuccessful in achieving a takeover. The operator must ensure that the partner
node does not become operational at any time while a node is in a takeover mode initiated by the
use of this command. In conjunction with RAID mirroring, it can allow recovery from a disaster
when the two nodes in the HA pair are located at two distant sites.

Which are three valid data protection solutions? (Choose three.)
A. SnapVault toVolume SnapMirror

B. SnapVault toVolume SnapMirror to SnapVault
C. SnapVault toVolume SnapMirror toVolume SnapMirror
D. Volume SnapMirror to SnapVault
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp4268.pdf
When you are using SnapVault in combination with Volume SnapMirror, it is important to
understand their relationship with Snapshot. You cannot utilize SnapVault to protect a Volume
SnapMirror destination, because SnapVault and SnapMirror both use the same Snapshot copies;
they cannot run simultaneously. Schedules must be managed to accommodate the interlock that
keeps SnapVault and SnapMirror from stepping on each other.

XML-files in /etc/stats/preset are used together with the sysstat command to customize the output.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196890/html/man1/na_stats.1.html
http://backdrift.org/man/netapp/man5/na_stats_preset.5.html
Data ONTAP provides some XML files that output a predetermined set of statistics that you can
use without having to construct a script or type in a complicated command on the command line.
The preset files are located in the /etc/stats/preset directory. To use a preset file, you add -p
filename to your stats show or stats stop command line. You can also add counters on the

command line. If any options you specify on the command line conflict with the preset file, your
command line options take precedence.
You can also create your own preset files.
QUESTION NO: 160
When migrating from Data ONTAP 7G to Data ONTAP 8.0 7-mode, existing non-traditional
aggregates are designated as ________.
A. 16-bit
B. 32-bit
C. 64-bit
D. Foreign
E. Unknown
Answer: B
Explanation:
Aggregates are never converted as part of an upgrade. An upgrade will not touch your data!
QUESTION NO: 161
To create a 64-bit aggregate, which optional switch/flag/parameter/option to the aggr create

command must be included?
A. b 64
B. B 64
C. l 64
D. L 64
E. No optional switch/flag/parameter/option is needed because 64-bit aggregates are the default
Answer: B
Explanation:
The command to create a 64-bit aggregate is the same aggr create command that is present in
Data ONTAP 7G for aggregate creation. The aggr create command has a new flag, -B, to specify

the type of aggregate to create. It takes a value of either 32 or 64 and creates the respective type
of aggregate. Therefore the aggr create command with -B 64 creates a 64-bit aggregate. The aggr
create command without the -B flag by default creates a 32-bit aggregate.
Here are some commands for creating different aggregate types in Data ONTAP 8.0:
Creating a 64-bit aggregate:
aggr create aggr_64 -B 64 5
Creating a 32-bit aggregate using –B flag:
aggr create aggr_32 -B 32 5
Creating a 32-bit aggregate without using –B flag:
aggr create default_aggr_32 5
Note: the man pages do not include this option in later versions of DOT because 64-bit is now the
default.
QUESTION NO: 162
After upgrading to DOT 8.07-mode, you can convert existing 32-bit aggregates into 64-bit
aggregates.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
http://www.ntapgeek.com/2011/12/how-in-place-expansion-works.html
To upgrade an aggregate in-place, the only available method is to add disks to expand the
aggregate to >16TB.
There is an obscure method using diag mode but that is not supported or mentioned in the exam
content. The answer is always add disks to grow past 16TB, or migrate.
QUESTION NO: 163
With 64-bit aggregates, the number of FlexVols that can be created on a storage controller is
____.

A. 500
B. 1000
C. 6400
D. 64000
Answer: A
Explanation:
http://www.netapp.com/us/products/storage-systems/fas3200/fas3200-tech-specs.aspx
There is no easily remembered reason why its 500. Some people like to remember that there is
one other question on the exam that requires you to remember an arbitrary number and the
answer is also 500 (distance of a fiber interconnect at 2Gbps).
QUESTION NO: 164
The largest volume that can be created on a 64-bit aggregate is ___.
A. 10 TB
B. 16 TB
C. 64 TB
D. Equal to size of the aggregate
Answer: D
Explanation:
Trick question.... Depends on the array and the maximum shelves and disks and aggregate size,
which can change over time. But a volume can never be greater than the aggregate - save for a
new feature in 8.2 called Infinite Volume that is not covered by this exam.
QUESTION NO: 165
Which command will show the FCP target(s) on a storage system?
A. fcp show adapter

B. fcp show all
C. fcp show -t

D. fcp status
Answer: A
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_fcp.1.html
fcp show adapter [ -v ] [ adapter ]

If no adapter name is given, information about all adapters are shown.
This command displays information such as nodename/portname and link state about the adapter.
If the -v flag is given, this command displays additional information about the adapters.
QUESTION NO: 166
You are having problems accessing three recently-created LUNs. Given the output below, the

/vol/vol1/qtree1/lun2 aix-igroup 0
/vol/vol1/qtree1/lun3 linux-igroup 0
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
The 'lun' in the path is irrelevant. The 0 at the end of each statement denotes the LUN ID.
LUN IDs must be unique per igroup.
QUESTION NO: 167

Using the output below, a co-worker determined that these are type "Solaris" LUNs. What would
your determination be?
A. These are type "Solaris" LUNs.

B. Not enough information is given here. Run the lun map command to get the information
requested.
C. Not enough information is given here. Run the lun show -v command to get the information
requested.
D. Not enough information is given here. Run the lun status command to get the information
requested.
Answer: C
Explanation:
lun show [ -v | -m | -c ] [ all | mapped | offline | online | unmapped | staging

| -g initiator_group | -n node | -l vol_name | lun_path ]
Displays the status (lun_path, size, online/offline state, shared state) of the given LUN or class of
LUNs. With the -v option supplied, additional information (comment string, serial number, LUN
mapping, HA Pair Shared Volume Information) is also displayed. With the -m option supplied,
information about lun_path to initiator_group mappings is displayed in a table format. With the -c
option supplied, information about LUN cloning status is displayed.
A specific LUN can be indicated by supplying its lun_path. When an initiator_group is specified,
status is reported for all LUNs that are mapped to the initiator group. When a node is specified,
status is reported for all LUNs that are mapped to initiator groups which contain that node. When
staging is specified, information about the temporary LUNs preserved in the staging area is
reported. When vol_name is specified, status is reported for all the LUNs in that volume.
Mapped LUNs are ones with at least one map definition. A LUN is online if it has not been
explicitly made offline using the lun offline command.

QUESTION NO: 168
Which two commands would help you troubleshoot a LUN that cannot be accessed by a host?
(Choose two.)
A. fcp show wwpn

B. fcp wwpn
C. igroup show
D. lun show -err
E. lun show -v
Answer: C,E
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196979/html/man1/na_igroup.1.html
igroup show [ -v ] [ initiator_group ] Displays the nodes in an initiator group and their aliases, set
with the fcp wwpnalias command. If no initiator_group is specified, the members of all initiator
groups are displayed. You can use the -v option to get a verbose listing.
lun show [ -v | -m | -c ] [ all | mapped | offline | online | unmapped | staging |

-g initiator_group | -n node | -l vol_name | lun_path ] Displays the status (lun_path, size,
online/offline state, shared state) of the given LUN or class of LUNs. With the -v option supplied,
additional information (comment string, serial number, LUN mapping, HA Pair Shared Volume
Information) is also displayed. With the -m option supplied, information about lun_path to
initiator_group mappings is displayed in a table format. With the -c option supplied, information
about LUN cloning status is displayed.
QUESTION NO: 169
NetApp recommends that Fibre Channel switches that have both disk and tape connected to them
should have separate zones created for each.
A. True
B. False

Answer: A
Explanation:
http://www.brocade.com/downloads/documents/white_papers/Zoning_Best_Practices_WP-00.pdf
Separating the disk and tape devices into separate zones prevents disk RSCNs from impacting
tape devices, which tend to be more sensitive to RSCNs.
Best practice is to zone each initiator WWPN to each target WWPN individually.
QUESTION NO: 170

QUESTION NO: 171
The quota resize command only affects existing /etc/quotas file target entries, not new quota
entries.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
quota resize volume

Adjusts currently active quotas in the specified volume to reflect changes in the /etc/quotas file.
For instance, if you edit an entry in /etc/quotas to increase a user's quota, quota resize will cause

the change to take effect. The volume name may be omitted if the system has only one volume.
quota resize can be used only when quotas are already on. Because it does not rescan the file
system to compute usage, quota resize is faster than turning quotas off and then on again. quota
resize will apply all updated entries in /etc/quotas; however, it will generally ignore newly added
entries. A newly added entry will only take effect if the corresponding user or group has an active
quota as a result of updating a file subject to default quotas.
QUESTION NO: 172
In Data ONTAP, the root user is exempt from these two quotas: _______. (Choose two.)
A. file quotas
B. group quotas
C. root quotas
D. tree quotas
E. user quotas
Answer: B,E
Explanation:
QUESTION NO: 173
In Data ONTAP, both the Microsoft Windows Administrator and root are exempt from user and
group quotas, but not from tree quotas.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
User and group quotas do not apply to the root user or to the Windows Administrator account; tree
quotas, however, do apply even to root and the Windows Administrator account.

You receive an error message from an iSCSI host stating that there is an authentication error.
Which command would troubleshoot the failure?
A. iscsi security show

B. iscsi security generate
C. iscsi show authentication

D. iscsi security authentication
Answer: A
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196890/html/man1/na_iscsi.1.html
iscsi security show

Display the default authentication and all the initiator specific authentication information.
Hint: Remember that the iscsi command is mostly structured "iscsi noun verb", unlike the fcp

QUESTION NO: 177
Which three steps should be taken when troubleshooting a "stale nfs file handle" response to a
NFS mount request on a Solaris system? (Choose three)
A. check the client's fstab

B. check the /etc/sd.conf file on the client
C. check show mount -e to the storage system from the client
D. check for connectivity to the storage system from the client
E. check the output of the exportfs command on the storage system
Answer: A,D,E
Explanation:
The fstab file reflects the defined filesystem mount paths (including NFS mounts).
Always check network connectivity when a problem arises with a network service.
The exportfs command will display the active exports on the storage system.
QUESTION NO: 178
Which three configurations would increase data transfer rates in a volume SnapMirror environment
for traditional volumes?
A. The destination volumes are flexible volumes.

B. The destination and source contain disks of the same size.
C. The destination and the source contain RAID groups of the same size.
D. The destination and source contain the same number of raid groups.
E. The destination and source storage systems are no father than 30 meters apart.

Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
By aligning the performance of the source and destination, optimal data transfer (aka replication)
rates can be attained. Flexvols don't matter, and there is no measurable difference between the
performance of a network over a 30m or 3m cable.
QUESTION NO: 179
Identify the two commands that could be entered on a system with a SnapMirror source. (Choose
two)
A. snapmirror update
B. snapmirror status
C. snapmirror initialize
D. options snapmirror.access all
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
http://www.uow.edu.au/~blane/netapp/ontap/cmdref/man1/na_options.1.htm
update [ -S source ] [ -k kilobytes ] [ -s src_snap ] [ -c create_dest_snap ] [ -w ] destination
For asynchronous mirrors, an update is immediately started from the source to the destination to
update the mirror with the contents of the source.
For synchronous mirrors, a snapshot is created on the source volume which becomes visible to
clients of the destination volume.
The update command must be issued on the destination node.status [ -l | -t | -q ] [ volume | qtree
... ]
Reports status of all the SnapMirror relationships with a source and/or destination on this node.
This command also reports whether SnapMirror is on or off. If any volume or qtree arguments are
given to the command, only the SnapMirror relationships with a matching source or destination will
be reported. If the argument is invalid, there won't be any status in the output.initialize [ -S source ]
[ -k kilobytes ] [ -s src_snap ] [ -c create_dest_snap ]
[ -w ] destination Starts an initial transfer over the network. An initial transfer is required before
update transfers can take place.
The initialize command must be issued on the destination node. If the destination is a volume, it

must be restricted (see na_vol(1) for information on how to examine and restrict volumes). If the
destination is a qtree, it must not already exist (see na_qtree(1) for information on how to list
qtrees). If a qtree already exists, it must be renamed or removed (using an NFS or CIFS client), or
snapmirror initialize to that qtree will not work.snapmirror.access
This option determines which SnapMirror destination filers may initiate transfers, and over which
network interfaces. When set to "legacy", SnapMirror uses the older snapmirror.allow to determine
access. The option value is a string containing an expression which provides the access filter. An
example of the options command for snapmirror.access is options snapmirror.access
host=toaster,fridge. The default value is "legacy". See na_snapmirror(1) , na_snapmirror.allow(5)
and na_protocolaccess(8) for more details.
The snapmirror.allow file exists on the source filer used for SnapMirror.
QUESTION NO: 180
Which OSSV tool would you use to perform an OSSV unattended installation?
A. msipackage
B. svunattendossv
C. svconfigpackager
D. unattendpackager
Answer: C
Explanation:
The reference for this questionis an old version of a TR. It is likely that this question will be
removed from the NSO-155 exam.
The svconfigpackager is a binary in the OSSV client which can be used to create an unattended
installation package using an answer file.
QUESTION NO: 181
Which command creates a new SyncMirror aggregate, letting Data ONTAP select the disk drives?
A. aggr create aggrX -d 12

B. aggr create aggrX -m 12
C. aggr mirror aggrX -m 12

D. aggr mirror aggrX -n 12
Answer: B
Explanation:
The following commands are available in the aggr suite:
If you use the -d disk1 [ disk2 ... ] argument, the node creates the aggregate with the specified
spare disks disk1, disk2, and so on. You can specify a space-separated list of disk names. Two
separate lists must be specified if the new aggregate is mirrored. In the case that the new
aggregate is mirrored, the indicated disks must result in an equal number of disks on each new
plex.
The disks in a plex are not permitted to span spare pools. This behavior can be overridden with
the -f option.
The same option can also be used to force using disks that do not have matching rotational speed.
The –f option has effect only when used with the -d option specifying disks to use.
The -m option can be used to specify that the new aggregate be mirrored (have two plexes) upon
creation. If this option is given, then the indicated disks will be split across the two plexes. By
default, the new aggregate will not be mirrored.
aggr mirror aggrname

The -n option can be used to display the command that the system will execute without actually
making any changes. This is useful for displaying the automatically selected disks, for example.
QUESTION NO: 182
Which SyncMirror command mirrors an existing unmirrored aggregate where Data ONTAP selects
the disk drive?

A. aggr mirror aggrY
B. aggr mirror aggrY -m
C. aggr mirror aggrT -d 12@144
D. aggr mirror aggrY -m 12@144
Answer: A
Explanation:
aggr mirror aggrname

[ -f ]
[ -n ]
[ -v victim_aggrname ]
[ -d disk1 [ disk2 ... ] ]
Turns an unmirrored aggregate into a mirrored aggregate by adding a plex to it. The plex is either
newlyformed from disks chosen from a spare pool, or, if the -v option is specified, is taken from
another existing unmirrored aggregate. Aggregate aggrname must currently be unmirrored. Use
aggr create to make a new, mirrored aggregate from scratch.
Disks may be specified explicitly using -d in the same way as with the aggr create and aggr add
commands.
The number of disks indicated must match the number present on the existing aggregate. The
disks specified are not permitted to span disk pools. This behavior can be overridden with the -f
option. The -f option, in combination with -d, can also be used to force using disks that have a
rotational speed that does not match that of the majority of existing disks in the aggregate.
If disks are not specified explicitly, then disks are automatically selected to match those in the
aggregate's existing plex.
The -v option can be used to join victim_aggrname back into aggrname to form a mirrored
aggregate. The result is a mirrored aggregate named aggrname which is otherwise identical to
aggrname before the operation.
Victim_aggrname is effectively destroyed. Victim_aggrname must have been previously mirrored

with
aggrname, and then separated via the aggr split command. Victim_aggrname must be offline.
Combined with the -v option, the -f option can be used to join aggrname and victim_aggrname
without prompting the user.
The -n option can be used to display the command that the system will execute without actually
making any changes. This is useful for displaying the automatically selected disks, for example.

QUESTION NO: 183
When troubleshooting a double disk failure with SyncMirror, you decide to remove and destroy a
plex from a mirrored aggregate. What steps remove a plex from a mirrored aggregate?
A. Take the aggregate offline and use the aggr destroy command
B. Take the aggregate offline and use the destroy -f command
C. Ensure the plex is online and use the aggr destroy plexname command.
D. Ensure the plex is offline and use the aggr destroy plexname command.
Answer: D
Explanation:
aggr destroy { aggrname | plexname } [ -f ]

Destroys the aggregate named aggrname, or the plex named plexname. Note that if the specified
aggregate is tied to a traditional volume, then the traditional volume itself is destroyed as well.
If an aggregate is specified, all plexes in the aggregate are destroyed. The named aggregate must
also not contain any flexible volumes, regardless of their mount state (online, restricted, or offline).
If a plex is specified, the plex is destroyed, leaving an unmirrored aggregate or traditional volume
containing the remaining plex.
Before destroying the aggregate, traditional volume or plex, the user is prompted to confirm the
operation. The -f flag can be used to destroy an aggregate, traditional volume or plex without
prompting the user.
The disks originally in the destroyed object become spare disks. Only offline aggregates,
traditional volumes and plexes can be destroyed.
QUESTION NO: 184
When replicating data between 32-bit and 64-bit aggregates, which two are allowed? (Choose
two)
A. NDMPcopy
B. QSM

C. vol copy
D. VSM
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
http://wafl.co.uk/ndmpcopy/
Because volume SnapMirror works at the block level, the source and destination must both be
FlexVol volumes in the same aggregate type. The source and destination of a volume SnapMirror
relationship must either both be FlexVol volumes in 32-bit aggregates or both be FlexVol volumes
in 64-bit aggregates.
Therefore you cannot create a volume SnapMirror relationship from a FlexVol volume in a 32-bit
aggregate to a FlexVol volume in a 64-bit aggregate or vice versa.

QUESTION NO: 185
What types of migration are supported from 32-bit to 64-bit?
A. migration of qtrees via QSM

B. migration of volumes via ndmpcopy
C. migration of volumes via SnapMirror
D. Both A & B
E. Both B & C
F. Both A & C
Answer: D
Explanation:
Volume SnapMirror operates at the physical block level. It replicates the contents of an entire
volume, including all Snapshot copies, plus all volume attributes verbatim from a source (primary)
volume to a target (secondary) volume. Implicitly, the destination volume will be the same as the
source volume. Since C is incorrect, A & B must be correct.
Qtree snapmirror operates at the logical level, so it is unimportant that the destination system has
a different volume configuration.
ndmpcopy is similarly operating with data already read from the volume and so the destination
volume type is not a consideration.
QUESTION NO: 186
How do you migrate LUNs under volumes from 32-bit to 64-bit?
A. lrep
B. ndmpcopy
C. rsync
D. snapvault
Answer: B
Explanation:
http://wafl.co.uk/ndmpcopy/
Think of ndmpcopy as a sort of ftp for SAN. You can use it to copy files from one volume to

another. Because the file is read from one volume and written to another, the constraints of
volume types are not an issue.
QUESTION NO: 187
Which three FAS deduplication features exist in ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode?
A. The deduplication fingerprint and change logs were moved to the root volume /etc/dedup
directory.
B. After breaking the deduplication volume destination mirror, the deduplication (a-sis) process
continues uninterrupted.
C. Qtree SnapMirror is supported on the destination for deduplication by enabling on the source,
destination, or both systems.
D. The fingerprint database and the change logs that the deduplication process uses are located
outside the volume, in the aggregate.
E. The deduplication schedule is not tied to a Qtree SnapMirror update, and can be configured just
like the deduplication schedule for any volume.
Answer: C,D,E
Explanation: Section: Data Protection
NetApp also recommends that if deduplication is used on the source volume, then it should also
be used on the destination volume. However, you are not restricted using deduplication on the
source volume only.
The deduplication schedule is not tied to the qtree SnapMirror update. In other words, the
deduplication process does not automatically start at the completion of the qtree SnapMirror
transfer.
The fingerprint database and the change log files that are used in the deduplication process are
located outside of the volume in the aggregate and are therefore not captured in Snapshot copies

QUESTION NO: 188
To manage SnapVault relationships with an NDMP management application, you must specify a:
A. directory path
B. volume and qtree
C. SnapVault license

D. username and password
Answer: D
Explanation:
Add a new backup user to the Backup Operators useradmin group list. Enter the following
command:
useradmin user add backupuser -g "Backup Operators"
Generate an NDMP password for the new user. Enter the following command:
ndmpd password backupuser
The NDMP password is used to authenticate the NetBackup media server to the storage system.
This password is required for setup on the NetBackup management station.

QUESTION NO: 189
For OSSV sources, the qtree is the basic unit of SnapVault backups.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196991/html/GUID-06C70D3B-9A06-4D20-B140-
EB147B941BDA.html
The data structures that are backed up and restored through SnapVault depend on the primary
system.
On systems running Data ONTAP, the qtree is the basic unit of SnapVault backup and restore.
SnapVault backs up specified qtrees on the primary system to associated qtrees on the SnapVault
secondary system. If necessary, data is restored from the secondary qtrees back to their
associated primary qtrees.
On open systems storage platforms, the directory is the basic unit of SnapVault backup.
SnapVault backs up specified directories from the native system to specified qtrees in the
SnapVault secondary system.
If necessary SnapVault can restore an entire directory or a specified file to the open systems
platform.
The destination system uses a slightly more disk space and directories than the source system.
