You have an ONTAP 9.3 cluster and create a new SnapMirror relationship with a SnapMirror type of DP. You initialize the SnapMirror relationship and verify the incremental updates are operating as expected. However, you notice that the SnapMirror type is XDP instead of the specified DP.
In this scenario, which statement is correct?
A. All new relationships default to XDP.
B. DP is not supported in ONTAP 9.3
C. The SnapMirror policy type was set to MirrorAllSnapshots.
D. The destination cluster is running an older version of ONTAP.
Correct answer is A
Starting with ONTAP 9.3, SnapMirror extended data protection (XDP) mode replaces SnapMirror data protection (DP) mode as the SnapMirror default.
