   An administrator is running an Ansible playbook that provisions a new volume and then configures a SnapMirror relationship to a disaster recovery site. The playbook fails at the SnapMirror task with an error indicating that the destination volume does not exist. The administrator confirms that the source volume was created successfully. What is the most likely cause of this failure?

   • AThe SnapMirror relationship was configured with the wrong source and destination SVM names.
   • BThe Ansible module used for SnapMirror requires a license that is not installed on the source cluster.
   • CThe ONTAP cluster at the DR site is not reachable from the Ansible control node.
   • DThe playbook does not include a task to create the destination volume on the target cluster before configuring the SnapMirror relationship.

   A nightly Ansible playbook that creates SnapMirror relationships fails intermittently with the error 'Volume is busy' on the destination cluster. The playbook uses the `na_ontap_snapmirror` module. The administrator notices that the failure occurs only when a previous playbook run created a volume with the same name. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe source and destination clusters have a clock skew that causes the relationship to fail.
   • BThe Ansible module is not idempotent and attempts to create a duplicate relationship.
   • CThe SnapMirror relationship requires a license that is only available during business hours.
   • DThe previous run left the destination volume in a state that is still being initialized or is mounted, causing a transient lock.

   A team is designing an automated backup workflow for a critical ONTAP volume. The workflow must first create a Snapshot copy, then transfer that Snapshot copy to a remote ONTAP cluster using SnapMirror, and finally verify that the transfer completed successfully. What is the correct sequential order of these steps, considering dependencies?

   • AStart SnapMirror update → Create Snapshot copy → Verify SnapMirror transfer status → Verify Snapshot copy exists.
   • BCreate Snapshot copy → Start SnapMirror update → Create a second Snapshot copy → Verify SnapMirror transfer status.
   • CVerify SnapMirror transfer status → Create Snapshot copy → Start SnapMirror update → Verify Snapshot copy exists.
   • DCreate Snapshot copy → Verify Snapshot copy exists → Start SnapMirror update → Verify SnapMirror transfer status.

   A storage team wants to automate the weekly task of generating a report of all Snapshot copies older than 30 days across multiple ONTAP clusters. The report should be saved as a CSV file. The team uses a mix of Windows and Linux workstations. Which approach is the most portable and maintainable?

   • AA bash script using `curl` and `jq` to parse REST API responses and generate the CSV.
   • BA PowerShell script using the NetApp Toolkit to query Snapshot copies and export to CSV.
   • CA Python script using the ONTAP REST API to query Snapshot copies and write the results to a CSV file.
   • DAn Ansible playbook that uses the `na_ontap_snapshot` module to list Snapshot copies and writes output to a file.
