The correct answer is D. Enable Flexclone copies on the DR side. FlexClone volumes are space-efficient on the source cluster because they share blocks with the parent.

Question
Your IT company is using NetApp FlexClone on a two node AFF cluster with 20TB of data to rapidly provision environments for each developer. Each environment is replicated to an eight node AFF C-Series cluster at a DR site using SnapMirror. You notice that the environments are consuming significantly more disk space on the destination cluster than on the source cluster. In this scenario, which action will minimize the disk usage on the destination cluster?
Options
- AConsolidate the SnapMirror destination volumes onto a single aggregate.
- BDistribute the SnapMirror destination volumes evenly across the available aggregates.
- CEnable SnapMirror network compression.
- DEnable Flexclone copies on the DR side.

Explanation
FlexClone volumes are space-efficient on the source cluster because they share blocks with the parent. However, SnapMirror transfers them as full physical copies by default unless you re- create them as FlexClone volumes on the DR site. Enabling FlexClone copies on the destination will preserve their space efficiency and minimize disk usage on the DR cluster.
