Explanation:
BlueXP copy and sync is a NetApp BlueXP feature that enables customers to send data between Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Amazon S3. BlueXP copy and sync allows customers to create data transfer relationships between different storage sources and destinations, including FSx for ONTAP and S3. BlueXP copy and sync supports both one-time and recurring data transfers, with options to schedule, monitor, and manage the data transfer operations. BlueXP copy and sync helps customers to migrate, backup, archive, or distribute their data across different storage environments.

Explanation:
The provision role is a predefined role for cluster administrators that allows them to create and manage storage resources, such as aggregates, volumes, LUNs, and qtrees. It also allows them to configure and manage networking resources, such as interfaces, ports, routes, and subnets. The provision role has access to all commands under the “storage” and “network” command directories1.

Explanation:
NetApp SANtricity is the software that is used to upgrade the system hardware of a StorageGRID system to the latest version of firmware. NetApp SANtricity is a web-based data management tool that enables customers to provision storage systems and perform common management tasks. NetApp SANtricity provides a simple, intuitive, and centralized interface for managing E-Series storage systems, which are used in StorageGRID appliances. NetApp SANtricity allows customers to upgrade drive firmware using the Upgrade Center feature, which displays the current and available firmware versions and guides the user through the upgrade process.

Explanation:
= Intercluster LIFs are logical interfaces that enable communication between clusters for data replication and caching. The minimum number of intercluster LIFs required on a cluster depends on the number of nodes, the number of IPSpaces, and the network topology.
According to the NetApp documentation, the following are the requirements for intercluster LIFs:
- At least one intercluster LIF must be configured on every node in the local cluster, and on every node in the remote cluster. Provisioning intercluster LIFs on only some nodes of the cluster is not supported.
- Each intercluster LIF requires an IP address dedicated for intercluster communication. The IP addresses assigned to intercluster LIFs can reside in the same subnet as data LIFs or in a different subnet.
- Every intercluster LIF on every node of the local cluster should be able to connect to every intercluster LIF on every node of the remote cluster. The cluster peering topology should use full-mesh connectivity. Full-mesh connectivity means that all the Intercluster LIFs of one peer cluster can communicate with all of the Intercluster LIFs of the other peer cluster.
Based on these requirements, the minimum number of intercluster LIFs required on a 4-node cluster is 8, assuming that there is only one IPspace and a full-mesh network topology. This means that each node has one intercluster LIF that can connect to the intercluster LIFs of the other nodes in the same cluster and the remote cluster. If thereare more IPSpaces or a different network topology, the number of intercluster LIFs may vary.

Explanation:
SnapMirror is a native ONTAP feature that enables customers to create a disaster recovery site and host backups for their on-premises NetApp ONTAP based storage systems in a public cloud. SnapMirror provides reliable, bandwidth-efficient data replication and protection across hybrid multicloud environments. SnapMirror can replicate data from on-premises ONTAP systems to cloud-based ONTAP systems such as Cloud Volumes ONTAP or Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP. SnapMirror also supports data tiering to cloud object storage using FabricPool.
