In a PowerStore protection policy, what is the purpose of a retention rule?

To define how long snapshots are kept before they are automatically deleted

To specify the frequency at which snapshots are taken

To control which users can modify the protection policy

To determine the remote system used for replication

A file system named 'Finance' is currently unprotected. The administrator needs to apply a policy that takes a daily snapshot and retains it for 30 days. The policy 'Daily-30' already exists with the correct rules. What is the most efficient way to protect 'Finance'?

Apply the 'Daily-30' policy to the NAS server that hosts 'Finance'.

Manually create a snapshot of 'Finance' and schedule a cron job to repeat it daily.

Create a new policy named 'Finance-Backup' with the same rules and apply it to the file system.

Use the PowerStore CLI command to set the protection policy on the 'Finance' file system to 'Daily-30'.

An administrator applied a protection policy to a file system and later noticed that no snapshots appear in the snapshot list. The policy is correctly assigned. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

The snapshot rule's next run time has not yet been reached.

The file system does not support snapshots.

The policy was applied to the NAS server instead of the file system.

The retention rule is set to zero, causing snapshots to be deleted immediately.

An administrator wants to protect all file systems on a NAS server with a policy that includes a replication rule. The administrator applies the policy to the NAS server. What is the expected result for existing file systems on that NAS server?

The policy is applied but replication is disabled because file systems cannot replicate.

The policy is applied only to the NAS server itself, not to the file systems.

Only newly created file systems inherit the policy; existing ones must be manually assigned.

All existing file systems on the NAS server immediately inherit the policy and its replication rule.

After applying a protection policy to a file system, how can an administrator verify that snapshots are being taken as scheduled?

Run a CLI command to list all policies and their schedules

Review the NAS server's event log for snapshot creation entries

Check the file system's capacity usage to see if it is increasing

Check the Protection tab of the file system for the policy and view the snapshot list
