When ARP detects unusual write patterns on a FlexVol and triggers an alert, what is ONTAP's first automated action?

• A. Lock the SVM
• B. Automatically revert to the latest Snapshot
• C. Alert and increase monitoring sensitivity
• D. Block the client session

Answer: (C)

Adaptive Response Policy in ONTAP is designed to respond to anomalies in a non-disruptive way first. When unusual write patterns are detected on a FlexVol, the initial automated action is to alert the administrators and increase monitoring sensitivity. This step notifies operators and boosts telemetry (more frequent sampling, verbose logging) so the issue can be investigated without affecting user access. More disruptive actions, such as locking the SVM, reverting to a previous Snapshot, or blocking a client session, would only come into play if the situation escalates or policy dictates a stronger response.
