NetApp Certified Data Administrator, ONTAP Questions 25–32 (page: 5)

Updated On: 30-Mar-2026

An administrator needs to replicate an entire SVM between two NetApp ONTAP clusters.

Which type of destination SVM will be created?

  1. sync-source
  2. sync-destination
  3. dp-destination
  4. default

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When replicating an entire SVM using SnapMirror SVM, ONTAP creates the destination SVM as a data protection destination. This SVM is marked as a dp-destination and is read-only until a disaster recovery activation occurs.



A customer chooses NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) drives instead of self-encrypting drives (SED).

Which two additional security standards are supported with NSE? (Choose two.)

  1. Kerberos V5
  2. AES-256-ECB
  3. FIPS 140-3
  4. FIPS 140-2

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

NetApp Storage Encryption provides compliance with FIPS standards for cryptographic modules. NSE drives support FIPS 140-2 and also meet the newer FIPS 140-3 requirements, delivering validated, hardware-based encryption that satisfies strict regulatory and security compliance needs.



Which NetApp tool is used to validate shelf cabling after installing a controller with three shelves?

  1. NetAppDocs
  2. Active IQ Config Advisor
  3. SnapCenter software
  4. Automated Workload Analyzer

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Active IQ Config Advisor analyzes system configuration and cabling and validates that shelves are correctly connected after installation. It identifies cabling errors, best practice violations, and configuration issues.



An administrator has four SVMs within their cluster, and corporate policy dictates a need to physically separate the data within the SVMs.

Which vserver modify command would the administrator use on each SVM to keep the data separate?

  1. qos-policy-group
  2. aggr-list
  3. storage-limit
  4. caching-policy

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Assigning an aggregate list to an SVM restricts the SVM to using only the specified physical aggregates. This enforces physical separation of data between SVMs by ensuring their volumes reside on different storage resources.



Which NetApp ONTAP feature guarantees that critical workload performance is not degraded by competing workloads?

  1. multipathing
  2. QoS
  3. storage pool
  4. quotas

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Quality of Service allows administrators to control workload performance by defining minimum throughput guarantees and limits. This ensures that critical workloads receive the resources they require and are protected from performance degradation caused by competing workloads.



Which technology is used to encrypt the iSCSI traffic end to end?

  1. IPsec
  2. NVE
  3. NSE
  4. CHAP

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

IPsec provides end-to-end encryption for iSCSI traffic at the network layer, securing data in transit between the host and the storage system.



Which two NetApp tools are used to continuously monitor NetApp ONTAP cluster performance? (Choose two.)

  1. Active IQ OneCollect
  2. Data Infrastructure Insights
  3. BlueXP copy and sync
  4. Active IQ Unified Manager

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

Data Infrastructure Insights continuously collects and analyzes performance telemetry from ONTAP clusters to provide real-time and historical visibility. Active IQ Unified Manager continuously monitors cluster health and performance, generating alerts and performance analytics to help identify and resolve issues proactively.



A customer is trying to update one of their SnapMirror relationships, but the update fails:



What must be done to return the relationship to a SnapMirror state?

  1. Use the snapmirror resync command on the source cluster.
  2. Use the snapmirror update command on the destination cluster.
  3. Use the snapmirror resync command on the destination cluster.
  4. Use the snapmirror update command on the source cluster.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When a SnapMirror relationship is in a broken-off state, it must be resynchronized from the destination side.
The snapmirror resync command reestablishes the data protection relationship and returns it to an active SnapMirror state.
