An administrator is asked to create a Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) pool from eleven 12 TB disks with the requirement that there is adequate space available for a reconstruction if a drive in the pool fails.

In this scenario, what should the administrator do to satisfy this requirement?

  1. Create the disk pool, and then edit the pool to reserve 12 TB of space
  2. Create the disk pool, and then add another 12 TB drive to the pool
  3. Create the disk pool, and then the system automatically reserves 12 TB of space
  4. Create the disk pool, and then create a hot spare on another 12 TB disk

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Create the Disk Pool:
Step: Use the SANtricity System Manager to create a DDP with the eleven 12 TB disks. Reason: The DDP automatically reserves space for reconstruction purposes.
Automatic Space Reservation:
Functionality: The system automatically reserves adequate space for reconstruction when a disk fails.


Reference:

NetApp SANtricity System Manager documentation on DDP creation and management.
Confirmation:
Verify: Check the pool's configuration to ensure the space is reserved for reconstruction. Result: The system will show the reserved space within the DDP configuration.

You are adding drives to an existing Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP).

In this scenario, which two drive characteristics should you consider when selecting the drives? (Choose two.)

  1. if the drives are the same capacity or larger
  2. if the drives have a compatible security type
  3. if the drives are from the same manufacturer
  4. if the drives have the same firmware level

Answer(s): A,B

Explanation:

Check Drive Capacity:
Step: Ensure that the new drives are of the same capacity or larger than the existing drives in the DDP.

Reason: Consistent drive capacity ensures optimal performance and utilization.


Reference:

NetApp best practices for DDP expansion.
Verify Security Type:
Step: Confirm that the new drives have a compatible security type (e.g., FDE, FIPS) with the existing drives.
Reason: Incompatible security types can lead to configuration issues or reduced security.

Click the Exhibit button.

Referring to the exhibit, which three steps would you take to solve the problem shown in the event log? (Choose three.)

  1. Swap out the SFP in the controller port
  2. Swap out the FC cable
  3. Reinitialize the FC switch
  4. Move the connection to another controller port
  5. Swap out the HBA on the FC switch

Answer(s): A,B,D

Explanation:

Step: Replace the SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) module in the controller port. Reason: Faulty SFPs can cause link issues and errors.


Reference:

NetApp hardware troubleshooting guide.
Swap Out the FC Cable:
Step: Replace the Fibre Channel cable connecting the controller port. Reason: Damaged or faulty cables can lead to intermittent connectivity issues.


NetApp SANtricity documentation on cabling best practices.
Move the Connection to Another Controller Port:
Step: Connect the Fibre Channel cable to a different port on the controller.

Reason: The current port may be faulty, and using another port can help isolate the issue.

Which file contains the configuration for a multipath driver for FC on Linux systems?

  1. /etc/kernel/mp.conf
  2. /opt/multipath/multipath.cnf
  3. /etc/multipath.conf
  4. /etc/dm-multipath.conf

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The multipath configuration file for Fibre Channel (FC) on Linux systems is typically /etc/multipath.conf.
This file is used to define multipath settings and policies, such as path grouping, path selection, and failover behavior.
