How can snapshots and volume copies be integrated in a data protection strategy?

Use snapshots for frequent, space-efficient recovery points and volume copies for full, independent copies for migration or long-term retention.

Snapshots and volume copies are mutually exclusive and cannot be used together.

Snapshots are used for remote replication, and volume copies for local recovery.

Use volume copies for frequent recovery points and snapshots for migration.

When configuring mirroring in SANtricity, what is required to establish a mirror relationship?

A consistency group that includes the primary volume.

A snapshot of the primary volume and a secondary volume.

A volume copy of the primary volume to use as the secondary.

A primary volume and a secondary volume on a remote storage system.

A database administrator accidentally dropped a table from a volume on an E-Series array. A snapshot was taken 2 hours ago. The database is critical and must be restored with minimal downtime. The administrator has a snapshot of the volume. However, the database is on a volume that is part of a consistency group with other volumes. What is the best approach to restore the dropped table?

Perform a rollback of the entire consistency group to the snapshot point-in-time.

Rollback only the affected volume to the snapshot.

Use volume copy to copy the snapshot to the affected volume.

Create a new volume from the snapshot of the affected volume and copy the table back.

When would you use a consistency group in SANtricity?

To manage multiple snapshots of a single volume with a common schedule.

To synchronously mirror a set of volumes to a remote site.

To take a coordinated snapshot of multiple volumes that are part of an application, ensuring a consistent recovery point.

To create a full copy of a volume for migration to another array.

In SANtricity System Manager, which action is required to create a snapshot of a volume?

Select the volume and choose 'Create Snapshot' from the Snapshot menu.

Enable mirroring on the volume and then break the mirror to create a snapshot.

Create a new volume and then copy data to it using the Volume Copy feature.

Use the command-line interface to run the 'snapshot create' command, as this is the only method.
