NS0-162 Exam Dumps - NetApp Certified Data Administrator (ONTAP)

 You can use either XCP or the in-place conversion feature to move data from a FlexVol volume to a FlexGroup volume. XCP is a data migration tool that can copy data between different types of volumes, such as FlexVol and FlexGroup. The in-place conversion feature, introduced in ONTAP 9.7, allows you to convert a FlexVol volume to a FlexGroup volume without requiring a data copy or additional disk space. However, you cannot convert a FlexGroup volume back to a FlexVol volume. SnapMirror is not a valid option for this scenario, because it does not support replicating data from FlexVol to FlexGroup volumes. A FlexVol to FlexGroup conversion is supported, but only for transitioned volumes starting from ONTAP 9.8. References :- Converting FlexVol volumes to FlexGroup volumes overview, Can a FlexGroup be converted to a FlexVol?, Can I convert a Flexvol to FlexGroup without rewarming the tiered data?

 The error message in the exhibit indicates that access to a specific file was denied. This is typically due to insufficient permissions. By setting the user’s permission for the share to write, it would allow them to save files on that share. References: Troubleshooting CIFS or SMB access denied, Shared folder “Access is Denied” between Windows computers

Encrypted volumes are one of the possible causes of ONTAP upgrade pre-check failure. If the cluster has encrypted volumes, the pre-check verifies that the cluster has a valid external key manager (EKM) configuration and that the EKM server is reachable. If the EKM configuration is invalid or the EKM server is unreachable, the pre-check fails and the upgrade cannot proceed. To resolve this issue, the cluster administrator must ensure that the EKM configuration is correct and that the EKM server is accessible before retrying the upgrade12. References:- Execute ONTAP automated pre-upgrade checks before a planned upgrade, ONTAP upgrade pre-check validation fails with Error: The following nodes are not supported

To protect the data on your ONTAP C190 cluster using the native SnapMirror technology, you need to have two products that support SnapMirror replication and can run ONTAP software. The following two products would satisfy this request:

• ONTAP Select: This is a software-defined storage solution that runs on VMware ESXi hosts and can create and manage ONTAP clusters and nodes on the virtualized hardware. ONTAP Select supports SnapMirror replication for data protection and disaster recovery between ONTAP Select clusters or between ONTAP Select and other ONTAP systems12.
• Cloud Volumes ONTAP: This is a software-only storage service that runs on public cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud and provides enterprise-grade data management features such as SnapMirror replication. Cloud Volumes ONTAP supports SnapMirror replication for data protection and disaster recovery between Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances or between Cloud Volumes ONTAP and other ONTAP systems34.
• Cloud Volumes Service for AWS and Azure NetApp Files are not the products that can satisfy this request, as they are fully managed cloud storage services that do not run ONTAP softwareand do not support SnapMirror replication. They provide native cloud replication features such as AWS Backup and Azure Backup, which are different from SnapMirror technology56. References :- ONTAP Select overview, SnapMirror replication for ONTAP Select, Cloud Volumes ONTAP overview, SnapMirror replication for Cloud Volumes ONTAP, Cloud Volumes Service for AWS overview, Azure NetApp Files overview.

To find out how many files are in the NAS volumes of the cluster and how old these files are, you can use the following two tools:

• ONTAP System Manager 9.8 provides a way for admins to find out file system information in any NAS storage volume quickly and easily by enabling a low-impact scanner for each volume. This scanner crawls the ONTAP file system in the background with a low priority job and delivers a wealth of information that is available as soon as you navigate to the volume details page. You can see the file and directory count, the file-age histograms, the capacity use, and other parameters for each volume1.
• ONTAP CLI provides the filestats command that can display a summary of file statistics within a volume on a storage system by reading the file information from a snapshot copy that you specify. You can use various options to filter the output by file size, file type, file age, and so on2.
• Active IQ Config Advisor and Active IQ Unified Manager are not the tools that can fulfill this requirement, as they are mainly used for monitoring and managing the health, performance, and configuration of the cluster, not the file system details of the volumes34. References :- Active IQ Config Advisor, Active IQ Unified Manager, How to report file sizes within a volume using the filestats command, ONTAP 9.8 Feature Overview.
