You are currently using SnapMirror Synchronous (SM-S) to protect a critical workload at your organization and you want to convert the SnapMirror policy from
Sync to StrictSync.
In this scenario, which procedure allows you to achieve this task?

To convert the SnapMirror policy from Sync to StrictSync, you need to delete the existing SnapMirror relationship and then recreate it, specifying the StrictSync policy, and then re-synchronize it. Modifying the policy directly is not supported for this type of relationship, so the correct approach is to establish a new relationship with the desired policy settings and synchronize it accordingly.
Correct Answer = C, KB included in the reference also confirms C is the correct answer. Here is another KB also confirming; https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.pow-dap%2FGUID-AE2302D3-E489-43FE-B64F-1D351DAC6787.html
Consensus
Answer does appear to be C https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/data-protection/convert-mode-snapmirror-synchronous-task.html On the link above it states: You cannot modify the policy of a Snapmirror Synchronous relationship to convert its mode.
C is correct. Thanks Lymeric97!!
Modification of the policy is not supported for relationships with a policy of type strict-sync-mirror or sync-mirror. If you want to use a different policy for SnapMirror Synchronous relationships, you need to delete the relationship and create it again with the new policy.
C is the correct answer
A You can convert the mode of a SnapMirror Synchronous relationship from StrictSync to Sync or vice versa. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/data-protection/convert-mode-snapmirror-synchronous-task.html
C Modification of the policy is not supported for relationships with a policy of type strict-sync-mirror or sync-mirror. If you want to use a different policy for SnapMirror Synchronous relationships, you need to delete the relationship and create it again with the new policy.
