What are two benefits of configuring Advanced Disk Partitioning (ADP) on an AFF or FAS system? (Choose two.)

  1. increased deduplication efficiencies
  2. optimized storage capacity
  3. reduced RAID parity overhead
  4. increased disk performance
  5. decreased disk failure rate

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

Advanced Disk Partitioning (ADP) is a feature that enables ONTAP to partition a disk into multiple logical units and use them for different purposes. ADP has two main benefits for AFF or FAS systems:

It optimizes storage capacity by reducing the number of disks required for the root aggregates, which store the system and configuration data. By using ADP, the root aggregate can share the same disk with a data aggregate, which stores the user data. This frees up more disks for data aggregates and increases the usable space for data.

It reduces RAID parity overhead by creating smaller RAID groups with partitions instead of whole disks. This reduces the amount of parity data that needs to be written and read, which improves the performance and efficiency of the system.

What are two data types? (Choose two.)

  1. file
  2. object
  3. disk
  4. LAN
  5. RAID

Answer(s): A,B

Explanation:

A file is a data type that represents a collection of data stored on a disk or other storage device. A file can have a name, an extension, a size, and other attributes. A file can contain any kind of data, such as text, images, audio, video, etc. A file can be opened, read, written, closed, deleted, or moved by a program. An object is a data type that represents an instance of a class, which is a blueprint for creating objects. An object can have properties, which are variables that store data, and methods, which are functions that perform actions on the object. An object can interact with other objects by sending and receiving messages. An object can inherit properties and methods from its parent class, or override them with its own definitions.

A company wants to reduce their on-premises footprint by tiering cold data to a more cost-effective location.
Which IMetApp ONTAP feature can be used?

  1. SVM DR
  2. SnapVault
  3. FabricPool
  4. FlexGroup

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

FabricPool is a NetApp ONTAP feature that enables you to tier cold data from your on-premises storage to a more cost-effective location, such as the cloud or an on-premises object store. FabricPool automatically identifies and moves inactive data blocks from the performance tier, which consists of SSDs or HDDs, to the capacity tier, which consists of object storage. FabricPool preserves the data protection, security, and efficiency features of ONTAP, while reducing the storage footprint and costs of your on-premises system.
