A customer requires unlimited backups be included for their CVO instance. Which two subscription models should the customer use? (Choose two.)
For a customer requiring unlimited backups in their Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) instance, the Essentials and Premium subscription models are the appropriate choices. Both these subscription models offer unlimited backups as part of their service package, which is ideal for customers who prioritize extensive backup capabilities without the concern of hitting limits.
The Professional, Optimized, and Edge Cache plans typically have different focuses or limitations concerning backup capabilities:
Professional: Geared more towards smaller or less critical deployments without the breadth of features found in Premium or Essentials.
Optimized: Often focuses on performance optimization rather than extensive backup functionalities.
Edge Cache: Is used for caching services at the edge rather than core data management and backup functionalities.
Detailed information on these subscription models and their backup capabilities can be found in the NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP documentation or through consultation with NetApp sales representatives.
An administrator wants to use BlueXP Ransomware Protection to protect their files in a CVO instance. What must be enabled first?
BlueXP Classification must be enabled first to utilize BlueXP Ransomware Protection. BlueXP Classification allows the system to scan and classify data, which is essential for identifying and protecting sensitive information against ransomware threats. This classification process is a prerequisite to effectively monitor and secure the data stored in a Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) instance, ensuring that ransomware protection can be applied accurately based on the classified data.

A local ONTAP system has FabricPool configured to a public cloud. Storage use has grown exponentially due to end-of-year activities. After a few weeks, tiering to the cloud stops.
What should the administrator do?
When tiering to the cloud stops in an ONTAP system configured with FabricPool, especially after a rapid increase in storage use, it is likely due to reaching the capacity threshold of the aggregate. ONTAP systems with FabricPool will halt tiering if the aggregate becomes too full. The solution is to adjust the aggregate fullness, either by increasing the aggregate's capacity or by managing the existing data more effectively (e.g., deleting unneeded data or moving data to another aggregate).
Configure tiering to a second cloud provider: This might help in distributing data, but it does not address the issue if the problem is local aggregate capacity.
Increase the tiering license: Generally, tiering licenses are about the amount of data that can be tiered rather than a technical limitation affecting tiering functionality.
Increase the cooling period: This might delay data movement but does not resolve the issue of aggregate fullness halting tiering.
Adjusting the aggregate fullness directly addresses the root cause by ensuring there's sufficient capacity within the local system to continue tiering operations. Information about managing aggregate capacity in ONTAP systems can be found in the ONTAP management documentation or the FabricPool administration guide.
How many private IP addresses are required for an HA CVO configuration in AWS using multiple Availability Zones?
In an HA (High Availability) Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) configuration within AWS that spans multiple Availability Zones, a total of 13 private IP addresses are required. This includes IP addresses for various components such as management interfaces, data LIFs (Logical Interfaces), and intercluster LIFs for both nodes in the HA pair. The distribution of these IP addresses ensures redundancy and failover capabilities across the Availability Zones, which is essential for maintaining high availability and resilience of the storage environment.

An administrator is troubleshooting a Cloud Data Sense deep scan that failed on a Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO) NFS export. The scan worked a day ago with no errors. The administrator notices that the NFS export is on a volume with a recently modified export policy rule.
Which export policy rule modification will resolve this issue?
If a Cloud Data Sense deep scan of an NFS export fails after a recent modification to the export policy rule, the most critical setting to check and adjust is the read permission. Here's how to resolve the issue:
Review the Modified Export Policy: Access the export policy settings for the NFS volume that Cloud Data Sense is attempting to scan. Check for recent changes that might have restricted read access.
Modify Export Policy to Allow Read Access: Ensure that the export policy rule specifically permits read access. This permission is essential for Cloud Data Sense to read the data stored on the NFS export and perform the scan effectively.
Apply Changes and Re-test the Scan: After adjusting the export policy to ensure read access, re-run the Cloud Data Sense scan to confirm that the issue is resolved and that the scan completes successfully.
For detailed instructions on configuring NFS export policies in Cloud Volumes ONTAP, consult the NetApp documentation: NetApp NFS Export Policy Documentation.
