What is aggregate relocation (ARL)? Choose all that apply.
The correct answer is A. Provides zero copy, non-disruptive relocation of (non-root) online SFO aggregates to a partner C. Is utilized during planned events such as fast negotiated takeovers, controller hardware. Aggregate Relocation (ARL) is a planned, non-disruptive operation that transfers ownership of non-root SFO aggregates between HA pair nodes without copying data, used during controller upgrades and similar maintenance.

Why each option
Aggregate Relocation (ARL) is a planned, non-disruptive operation that transfers ownership of non-root SFO aggregates between HA pair nodes without copying data, used during controller upgrades and similar maintenance.
ARL relocates non-root SFO aggregates to the partner node in a zero-copy fashion, meaning only ownership metadata changes while the data remains in place on the same disks, keeping volumes continuously online throughout the operation.
ARL applies only to non-root SFO aggregates; root aggregates are handled by CFO (Controller Failover) operations and follow a different code path during takeover and giveback.
ARL is specifically designed for planned, controlled events such as fast negotiated takeovers, controller hardware upgrades, and replacement procedures where maintaining data availability is required and the operation can be orchestrated in advance.
ARL is exclusively a planned-event mechanism; unplanned controller failures trigger automatic SFO takeover, which is a distinct process from ARL and is not initiated by the administrator.
