How does NetApp SnapLock prevent the deletion of a snapshot before its retention period ends?

By requiring multi-factor authentication for any delete operation

By setting a file attribute that marks the snapshot as read-only

By preventing the delete operation until the retention time has elapsed

By storing the snapshot in a separate, isolated storage pool

An administrator enabled SnapLock on a volume and applied a snapshot policy with a 7-day retention. After a week, the administrator finds that the snapshots are not locked and can be deleted. The 'snaplock-expiry-time' field is empty. What is the most likely cause?

The snapshot policy does not include a SnapLock retention period.

The volume is in enterprise mode, which does not lock snapshots.

The SnapLock license was not installed on the cluster.

The snapshot policy was created before SnapLock was enabled on the volume.

A snapshot is not being locked even though the policy has a snapmirror-label. What is the most likely cause?

The volume is not on a SnapLock aggregate

The snapmirror-label does not match any SnapLock retention rule

The snapshot was created manually instead of by the policy

The volume is not large enough to support snapshots

What is the first step to enable tamperproof snapshots on a NetApp volume?

Configure a SnapMirror relationship to a remote site

Ensure the volume is on a SnapLock-capable aggregate

Create a new storage VM (SVM) dedicated to snapshots

Enable the snapshot feature on the volume

A compliance officer wants to generate a report showing that all tamperproof snapshots on a volume have been retained for their full retention period without any deletions or modifications. Which data source should be used to create this report?

The current snapshot list, which shows only the snapshots that exist now.

The SnapMirror relationship status, which shows replication health.

The audit log, which records all snapshot creation, deletion, and modification events.

The volume's performance metrics, which show I/O activity over time.
