Question 2
Single answerAn administrator wants to automatically prevent volumes that are used in a SnapMirror relationship from
running out of space.
Which of the following volume snapshot autodelete modify parameters would ensure that this goal can be
accomplished?
-
Option A:Correct

Correct Answer: C
Explanation
Setting -commitment try on the volume snapshot autodelete modify command allows ONTAP to automatically delete eligible Snapshot copies
when a volume is running low on space, but only if it can do so without violating SnapMirror or retention policies. This ensures volumes in
SnapMirror relationships stay healthy and do not run out of space unexpectedly.

others in the datastore. It enables immediate access to the VM’s previous state without a full
restore or rollback of the entire volume.
