Which operations are supported for managing snapshots in PowerFlex? (Choose two)

Question

Options

• ARestore data from a snapshot
• BConvert snapshots to writable volumes
• CDeduplicate snapshot data
• DSchedule automatic snapshot creation

• A
  91% (29)
• B

• C
  3% (1)

Explanation

PowerFlex supports restoring data from snapshots (A) as a core recovery operation - snapshots serve as point-in-time copies that can be used to roll back volumes to a previous state. It also supports scheduling automatic snapshot creation (D) through snapshot policies, allowing administrators to define recurring schedules for consistent, automated data protection.

B is incorrect because PowerFlex snapshots are already read-write by default - unlike traditional storage systems where snapshots are read-only, PowerFlex snapshots behave as writable volumes from the moment of creation, so there is no "conversion" operation needed.

C is incorrect because deduplication is a data reduction/efficiency feature in PowerFlex, separate from snapshot management operations - it applies to stored data broadly, not as a dedicated snapshot management action.

Memory tip: Think "R-S" = Restore and Schedule - the two things you manage about snapshots are recovering from them and automating when they're taken. The other options describe either a non-problem (B - they're already writable) or a separate feature category (C - dedup is about storage efficiency, not snapshot control).
