Which statement about SnapMirror Synchronous licensing is true?

Which statement about SnapMirror Synchronous licensing is true?

• A. A SnapMirror license is required on both the source cluster and the destination cluster.
• B. Only the source cluster requires a SnapMirror license.
• C. SnapMirror license is required on both clusters, and SnapMirror Synchronous license is required on both clusters.
• D. No license is required.

Answer: (C)

Licensing for SnapMirror and its synchronous mode is per-cluster and requires participation from both ends of the replication pair. To establish and maintain a SnapMirror relationship, each cluster must have the SnapMirror license. If you’re using SnapMirror Synchronous, that capability is also entitlement-based and must be present on both clusters. In other words, both the source and the destination must have the SnapMirror license, and both must have the SnapMirror Synchronous license to run in synchronous mode. Without licenses on both sides, the relationship or the synchronous replication cannot operate.
