   A test team reports that they cannot access a dataset that was replicated to the cloud using SnapMirror. The SnapMirror relationship shows 'Idle' status, and the destination volume is online. The test VMs are in the same VPC as the Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance. What is the most likely cause of the access issue?

   • AThe SnapMirror relationship is paused, preventing data from being read.
   • BThe source volume is offline, causing the destination to be read-only.
   • CThe test VMs do not have the correct permissions to access the Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance.
   • DThe destination volume is not mounted or exported to the test VMs' subnet.

   A company has a test/dev environment in the cloud that is only used during business hours (9 AM to 5 PM, Monday to Friday). The environment consists of several VMs and a Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance. The company wants to reduce costs without losing the ability to quickly resume testing. Which strategy should the architect recommend?

   • ADelete the VMs and the Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance every evening and recreate them from templates each morning.
   • BMove all data to cold storage and only access it when needed.
   • CDeallocate the VMs and stop the Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance outside business hours, and restart them in the morning.
   • DKeep everything running but reduce the size of the VMs to save on compute costs.

   A company wants to automate the provisioning of test environments in the cloud. Each environment needs a copy of the production database, a set of VMs, and a network configuration. The company wants to use Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to manage this process. Which tool should the architect use?

   • AUse Terraform with the NetApp Cloud Manager provider to provision the Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance, and use Terraform's cloud provider to provision the VMs and network.
   • BUse the cloud provider's native orchestration service (e.g., AWS CloudFormation) and manually configure Cloud Volumes ONTAP.
   • CUse a series of shell scripts that call the cloud provider's CLI and the NetApp Cloud Manager API.
   • DUse Ansible playbooks to configure the VMs and the ONTAP instance, but manage the network manually.
