QuestionQ19

Disaster Recovery

A customer runs NAS and SAN workloads on an old two-node ONTAP cluster that has reached end of support. As the business grows, they require a new solution that provides continuous availability and automatic switchover for all workloads. They already operate two data centers approximately 400 km apart.

Which solution satisfies this requirement?

  • A MetroCluster IP
  • B MetroCluster FC
  • C SnapMirror SVM replication
  • D SnapMirror active sync
Explanation

MetroCluster IP provides synchronous protection across two physically separate sites for ONTAP data and SVM configuration, supporting NAS and SAN workloads. With ONTAP Mediator, it can perform automatic unplanned switchover when a site failure occurs, making it suitable for a metropolitan-distance, two-data-center deployment.
