QuestionQ4

ONTAP replication technologies

A customer wants to replicate storage between two data centers whose hosts use FC-attached LUNs. The primary and secondary data centers are approximately 50 km apart. Each site has two Cisco Nexus 3232C switches cabled to the Ethernet ISLs connecting to the other site. The customer requires the entire NetApp ONTAP 9.7 cluster at the primary site to be mirrored, ensuring continuous availability with zero data loss for business-critical applications. If possible, the customer does not want to buy new equipment.

In this scenario, which solution meets the requirements?

  • A SnapMirror Synchronous
  • B SnapMirror Business Continuity
  • C MetroCluster IP
  • D MetroCluster FC
Explanation

MetroCluster IP provides synchronous replication and disaster recovery for the full MetroCluster environment, supporting continuous availability and zero data loss. Cisco Nexus 3232C switches are supported as MetroCluster IP switches with ONTAP 9.7, and MetroCluster configurations support FC SAN protocols, allowing the existing Ethernet ISL topology to be used rather than requiring an FC backend fabric.
