A customer wants to add personal data identifiers from an Oracle database to their NetApp BlueXP classification scans.
Which mechanism should the customer use?
Answer : B
To add personal data identifiers from an Oracle database to NetApp BlueXP classification scans, the customer should use custom categories. Custom categories allow the user to define specific types of data (such as personal identifiers) for classification, helping BlueXP to scan and detect those specific data types within the environment.
RegEx (A) can be used for pattern matching but would require the user to manually define regular expressions, while custom keywords (D) and Data Fusion (C) are not the appropriate mechanisms for this specific use case of adding personal data identifiers to the scans. Custom categories are specifically designed for managing such identifiers.
A customer deploys an Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system and creates an NFS export that a Linux client mounted. The Linux client shows that the volume is full. The customer's AWS dashboard shows that the file system has several TiBs of available SSD capacity.
What does the customer need to do to resolve the volume full issue?
Answer : A
The issue where the Linux client shows that the NFS volume is full, despite the AWS dashboard showing available capacity in the Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP file system, suggests that the allocated volume size within ONTAP is smaller than the total capacity available. To resolve this, the customer should enable volume autosizing. Autosizing allows the volume to automatically increase in size as needed, preventing issues where the volume becomes full while the underlying file system still has available storage.
Increasing the capacity of the file system (B) is not necessary since the file system already has free space. Deleting snapshots (C) can free up some space, but autosizing is a more efficient solution. Tiering cold data (D) addresses long-term storage management but won't resolve the immediate issue of the volume being full.
A customer wants to set up disaster recovery in the Central US region for an existing Azure NetApp Files production workload in the East US2 region.
Which feature should the customer use?
Answer : D
For setting up disaster recovery in the Central US region for an existing Azure NetApp Files workload in the East US2 region, the customer should use cross-region replication. This feature allows data replication across different Azure regions, providing a robust disaster recovery solution by keeping a secondary copy of the data in a geographically separate location.
Cross-zone replication (A) deals with replication within the same region across availability zones. SnapMirror (B) and SyncMirror (C) are ONTAP-specific replication technologies but are not directly applicable to Azure NetApp Files in this scenario.
A company just negotiated a Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC). They want to use NetApp BlueXP data services, but they have no additional budget for the rest of the year.
Which two licensing models can the company use? (Choose two.)
Answer : B, D
For companies that have negotiated a Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) and want to use NetApp BlueXP data services without additional budget for the rest of the year, two licensing models can be used:
PayGo (B): This is the Pay-As-You-Go licensing model, which allows the customer to use Azure credits from their MACC for NetApp services. It aligns with the company's desire to leverage their Azure budget without incurring additional costs.
Private Offer (D): Through Azure's Private Offer model, customers can negotiate custom pricing and leverage their Azure commitment to pay for NetApp services, aligning with their existing MACC.
Keystone (A) is a subscription-based model for on-premises or hybrid environments, and BYOL (C) (Bring Your Own License) requires an upfront purchase of licenses, which would not align with the company's scenario of having no additional budget.
A company is migrating an application with SAN storage from on-premises to Azure. The company wants a storage solution with iSCSI connectivity.
Which NetApp solution should the company use?
Answer : A
When migrating an application with SAN storage from on-premises to Azure, and requiring iSCSI connectivity, the correct solution is Cloud Volumes ONTAP. Cloud Volumes ONTAP provides a flexible storage solution in the cloud, supporting block-based storage protocols like iSCSI, which is ideal for SAN environments. It allows for seamless integration with existing infrastructure while providing enterprise-class data management features in the cloud.
StorageGRID (B) is an object storage solution, Global File Cache (C) is for file-based caching, and Azure NetApp Files (D) is focused on NFS and SMB file protocols, not iSCSI.
A customer is implementing NetApp StorageGRlD with an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) policy. Which key benefit should the customer expect from using ILM policies in this solution?
Answer : B
NetApp StorageGRID's Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) policies offer the key benefit of automated data optimization. ILM policies enable the system to automatically manage data placement and retention across different storage tiers and locations based on factors such as data age, usage patterns, and performance requirements. This ensures that frequently accessed data is placed on high-performance storage, while older or less critical data can be moved to lower-cost storage, optimizing resource use and reducing costs.
While ILM policies can contribute to improved data security (A) and simplified data access controls (D), their primary focus is on optimizing data storage over its lifecycle. Real-time data analytics capabilities (C) are not a core feature of ILM policies.
How should a customer monitor the operations that NetApp BlueXP performs?
Answer : C
The Notification Center within NetApp BlueXP is the primary tool used to monitor operations and activities performed by the platform. It provides real-time updates and alerts about tasks, performance issues, and general operational statuses. This central hub helps administrators track the ongoing processes and health of the system, including tasks like data replication, backups, and other key operational events.
While NetApp Cloud Insights (A) provides infrastructure monitoring and analytics, it is not specifically focused on the operational monitoring of NetApp BlueXP activities. NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager (B) focuses more on managing ONTAP environments but not directly on BlueXP operations. NetApp BlueXP digital advisor (D) offers recommendations and insights, but it is not primarily a monitoring tool.
