Question 2
An engineer is creating snapshot schedules for a volume to protect against data corruption. Snapshots must be taken both hourly and nightly. Each schedule is configured for a max keep of 10. Snapshot borrowing is enabled. The default snapshot schedule has NOT been disabled.
What should be the expected max number of snapshots for this volume?
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
Maximum number of snapshots created by the schedule to keep. The default is 10 snapshots. The maximum is 512. Once the number of file system snapshots created by the schedule reaches the max-keep limit, the NAS service deletes the oldest snapshot before creating a new snapshot. Note: Snapshot space borrowing allows you to temporarily increase the available snapshot space for a volume by borrowing from the snapshot reserve of other volumes and from pool free space. This enables you to prevent the oldest snapshots in your collection from being automatically deleted.References: http://psonlinehelp.equallogic.com/en/V6.0/Content/bomre/Snapshot_Space_Borrowing/Concept/about_snap_spce_borrowing_placeholder.htm
