   A multinational bank runs a critical application on NetApp ONTAP in a primary data center. They want to use a public cloud region for disaster recovery. The bank's compliance team requires that data remain within the country's borders. The application has an RPO of 5 minutes and an RTO of 30 minutes. Which design should be recommended?

   • AUse a second on-premises data center in the same country with SnapMirror asynchronous replication every 15 minutes
   • BUse SnapMirror synchronous replication to a cloud region in a neighboring country to reduce latency
   • CUse SnapMirror asynchronous replication every 5 minutes to a Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance in a cloud region within the same country, and configure automatic failover
   • DUse SnapVault to back up to a cloud region within the same country every hour

   A company runs a critical application on NetApp ONTAP and wants to ensure that the application can be failed over to a secondary site with minimal data loss. The secondary site is a Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance in a public cloud. Which configuration should be used?

   • AUse SnapVault to back up the data to the cloud every 6 hours
   • BSet up SnapMirror synchronous replication from the on-premises cluster to the cloud instance
   • CEnable compression on the SnapMirror relationship to reduce bandwidth
   • DConfigure SnapMirror asynchronous replication with a 1-hour schedule

   A hospital's electronic health record (EHR) system runs on a NetApp FAS8300 HA pair. The storage administrator needs to perform a planned takeover of node A to node B for a hardware replacement. Which action must be taken before initiating the takeover to ensure the EHR system experiences no downtime?

   • ADisable the HA pair's automatic takeover capability to prevent conflicts
   • BVerify that all volumes on node A are in a healthy state and that SnapMirror relationships are up to date
   • CRemove all LIFs from node A and reassign them to node B manually
   • DShut down all hosts that access volumes on node A to prevent I/O errors
