SnapMirror in CDOT compared to 7-Mode is?

• A. SnapMirror is not supported in CDOT.
• B. In CDOT, SnapMirror can be configured across SVMs and clusters; in 7-Mode it is typically per-volume replication.
• C. SnapMirror requires SnapLock.
• D. In CDOT SnapMirror is per-volume; in 7-Mode it can replicate across SVMs.

Answer: (B)

SnapMirror in CDOT can span boundaries between Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs) and even across cluster boundaries, giving you the ability to replicate data to destinations that live in different SVMs or on different clusters. This flexibility is a key difference from 7-Mode, where SnapMirror relationships are typically defined per volume and don’t cross SVMs in the same way. In 7-Mode, you mirror a volume to a destination volume, so the replication scope is tightly tied to that single volume pair. Therefore, the statement that in CDOT SnapMirror can be configured across SVMs and clusters, while in 7-Mode it is typically per-volume replication, correctly describes the main distinction. SnapLock is not a requirement for SnapMirror.
