NearStore Personality license provides what capability when used as a destination for SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers?

• A. Increases storage capacity
• B. Converts to NearStore system
• C. Requires nearstore_option license
• D. Provides increased concurrent streams

Answer: (D)

Increasing the number of parallel data transfers is what this license enables. When NearStore is used as a destination for SnapMirror and SnapVault, the NearStore Personality license unlocks more concurrent streams, letting multiple replication or vault transfers happen at the same time. This boosts overall transfer throughput by better utilizing network bandwidth and the destination’s I/O capacity. It doesn’t raise stored capacity, doesn’t convert the system to a different type, and isn’t about needing another license—the benefit is specifically higher concurrent transfer streams.
