You are upgrading a Dell EMC Unity array to a Dell EMC PowerStore 1000 T array. The customer asks what they need to do so they can map PowerStore snapshots from the new PowerStore array to a host. What should be your response?
Source: POWERSTORE ADMINISTRATION PARTICIPANT GUIDE (page 217)
"Volume and Volume Group Snapshots:
Snapshots cannot be mapped to a host. To view the contents of a snapshot, you must first clone the snapshot then map the clone to a host."
Correct Answer: D = Create a thin clone of the snapshot
"Snapshot access
The ability and method to access data within a snapshot of a resource directly depends on the resource type. For snapshots created on volumes, volume groups, or thin clones, direct access to the data within the snapshot is not allowed. Instead, << a thin clone can be created and mapped to a host >> to provide access to the data. Thin clones are discussed later in the section Thin clone overview."
