You are planning to expand a SAN-only ONTAP 9.5 cluster that consists of eight AFF A700 nodes.

In this scenario, what is the maximum number of additional AFF A700 nodes that would be added?

  1. 2
  2. 4
  3. 8
  4. 0

Answer(s): B



You have a 4 node cluster with an AFF A300 HA pair and a FAS8200 HA pair. You plan on using the default storage efficiency settings. With inline data compaction, you estimate that you can save 6% of storage space. AFF A300 LUNs that use under 5000 IOPS are moved to a FAS8200 using the lun move command.

In this scenario, what happens to the data after the LUN is moved? (Choose two.)

  1. The new written data is not compacted.
  2. The new written data is compacted.
  3. The existing data is compacted.
  4. The existing data is not compacted.

Answer(s): B,D





You configured a SAN host with a 4-node ONTAP 9.5 cluster that uses default settings. All paths are available from the host to the four nodes. You have a requirement to see only two paths to each LUN. One path is optimized and the other is non-optimized.

In this scenario, which NetApp SAN feature supports this requirement?

  1. portsets
  2. SLM
  3. VLANs
  4. igroups

Answer(s): C



You are planning to implement a 32 Gb FC SAN on a 2-node AFF A700 ONTAP 9.5 cluster. You need to create 112 FC LIFs across the HA pair with a limit of 20 FC LIFs per physical HBA port.

In this scenario, how many 2-port 32 Gb HBA cards do you need per storage controller?

  1. 2
  2. 1
  3. 4
  4. 3

Answer(s): A





Referring to the exhibit, you have SAN LUNs on an AFF A700s and are asked to test an SSD shelf stack failure.

What is the maximum allowed number of failed paths per controller to shelf stack before a storage failover occurs?

  1. 1
  2. 3
  3. 2
  4. 4

Answer(s): C
