Fill in the blank for the following statement:
SnapMirror is…………..

A.
synchronour

B.
asynchronous

C.
either synchronous or asynchronous based on the license

D.
capable of creating writable mirror if SnapMirror is licensed on the destination volume

Explanation:
The following is an excerpt from the NetApp documentation:
SnapMirror modes The Data ONTAP SnapMirror feature enables an administrator to mirror Snapshot images either asynchronously or synchronously:
. When mirroring asynchronously, SnapMirror replicates Snapshot images from a source volume or qtree to a partner destination volume or qtree, thus replicating source object data on destination objects at regular intervals. . When mirroring synchronously, SnapMirror replicates Snapshot images from a source volume to a partner destination volume at the same time it is written to the source volume.
Additionally, you can configure a synchronous SnapMirror replication to lag behind the source volume by a user-defined number of write operations or milliseconds. This option is useful if you are balancing the need for synchronous mirroring with the performance benefit of asynchronous mirroring.
Also the license manager of the GUI allows for seperate licenses to be added The filer requires a software license to enable SnapMirror services. The filer requires a software license to enable the SnapMirror Sync service.
So – the correct answer should be C.
