Refer to the exhibit.

Refer to the Exhibit.

An XtremlO administrator is asked to provide a copy of a 25 TiB database to a

group of users. Each user needs to have their own copy of the database in order to

perform a variety of manipulations on the dat

a. This process needs to be repeated

every day of the week. The administrator is concerned about the time it will take to

make the initial copy of the database and is investigating the use of snapshots of

snapshots.

How does each snapshot impact its ancestor?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

XtremIO uses a Copy-On-Write (COFW) mechanism for snapshots. When a write is performed on a snapshot, the system checks if the data block being written to has been previously written. If it has not, it copies the original data block (from the ancestor snapshot or volume) to a new location before writing the new data to ensure data consistency. This operation only happens once per block for each snapshot, thereby minimizing the performance impact.


Dell's detailed explanation of the XtremIO snapshot functionality emphasizes the efficiency of their COFW mechanism, ensuring minimal performance degradation when creating and writing to snapshots.

XtremIO documentation highlights how snapshots are managed with in-memory metadata, which supports fast creation and access without substantial performance penalties.

I'm pretty sure the answer is A. But if I get it wrong, I can always blame the snapshots for being too 'snappy' with their COFWs.

C) Each snapshot can be considered a unique volume and has no impact on its ancestor. I'm not sure this answer fully addresses the scenario, but it's an interesting perspective.

B) Each first write to a block of the production volume will trigger a COFW to each child snapshot. This seems like a reasonable answer, but I'm not sure how it would impact the time it takes to make the initial copy.

User1: I think option B is correct, it mentions how each write to a block triggers a COFW to each child snapshot.

D) Each first access to each snapshot will trigger a COFA from its ancestor. This is an interesting option, but I'm not sure it fully addresses the administrator's concern about the time it takes to make the initial copy.

A) Each first write to each snapshot will trigger a COFW from its ancestor. This seems to be the most logical answer, as the administrator is concerned about the time it takes to make the initial copy of the database, and the use of snapshots of snapshots could help mitigate this issue.

C is a bit too simple, don't you think? Snapshots definitely have an impact on their ancestors, even if they're considered unique volumes.

Option B is tempting, but I don't think that's the right answer. The question is about the impact on the ancestor, not the child snapshots.

This is a tricky one, but I think D is the right choice. The question is asking about the impact on the ancestor, and COFA seems to be the most relevant.

Option A makes the most sense to me. Each snapshot is tied to its ancestor, so any write to a snapshot will trigger a COFW from the parent.

I'm not sure, but option C also sounds plausible since each snapshot is like a unique volume.
