Which statement about NearStore Personality license is true?

• A. It Increases the storage capacity.
• B. It Converts the destination storage system to a NearStore system.
• C. It Requires the nearstore_option license on the destination storage system.
• D. It Provides increased concurrent streams when the storage systems are used as destinations for SnapMirror and SnapVault transfers.

Answer: (B)

NearStore works by giving the destination system a different role or personality: it becomes a NearStore repository for backups, rather than a standard destination. Licensing the NearStore Personality effectively changes the destination’s functionality to support NearStore operations, which is why the statement that it converts the destination storage system to a NearStore system is true.

This license does not inherently increase raw storage capacity, nor does it by itself guarantee more concurrent transfer streams for SnapMirror or SnapVault. Also, the idea that you must separately license a nearstore_option on the destination isn’t the defining point here—the NearStore Personality license is what establishes the NearStore role.
