Data ONTAP 8.0 7-Mode Fundamentals

When SnapRestore is used to restore one LUN, the LUN must be ___________.

  • A mounted on a host
  • B mapped to a Windows server
  • C exported and accessible
  • D taken offline or unmapped
Explanation

A single-LUN SnapRestore must not proceed while a host can access the LUN, because active I/O can lead to inconsistent data or host errors. NetApp’s ONTAP restore procedure stops host access, unmounts the LUN, and unmaps it before restoring; the LUN can be brought online and remapped afterward.
