Question 1

You are planning on implementing a new SAN on AFF A400 controllers. The data set consists of unique 1 KB files that will be encrypted before being written to the SAN. In this scenario, which ONTAP inline storage efficiency will provide 4:1 savings for this workload?

  • A. autogrow
  • B. deduplication
  • C. compression
  • D. compaction
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
D. compaction
Question 2

You are a system administrator and responsible for a NetApp AFF A800 2-node ONTAP 9.8 cluster that is used only for SAN. Your SAN uses FC and FCoE on the same Cisco switches. You want to add NVMe from the ONTAP controller to the same Cisco fabric. Which two statements are correct in this scenario? (Choose two.)

  • A. FC and NVMe can share the same 32 Gb physical port
  • B. The same SVM can serve both the FC and the FCoE protocols
  • C. The same SVM cannot serve both the FC and the NVMe protocols
  • D. FCoE and NVMe can share the same physical port
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
  • A. FC and NVMe can share the same 32 Gb physical port
  • B. The same SVM can serve both the FC and the FCoE protocols
Question 3

You are asked to separate production FC traffic from test development FC traffic. In this scenario, at a minimum, which two configurations would accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

  • A. Cisco VSANs
  • B. shared igroup
  • C. VLANs
  • D. SVMs
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
  • A. Cisco VSANs
  • D. SVMs
Question 4

You have a NetApp ONTAP cluster and are configuring iSCSI for some new hosts. You want to ensure that iSCSI connectivity can survive physical network failures. In this scenario, which two features would help fulfill this requirement? (Choose two.)

  • A. broadcast domains
  • B. MPIO
  • C. failover groups
  • D. interface groups
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
  • B. MPIO
  • D. interface groups
Question 5

You are testing FPC path failures on a 2-node NetApp AFF All SAN Array and verify that persistent ports are correctly enabled. Before testing, a host sees four optimized paths to a LUN. You perform a node takeover and re-check the host. Which statement is true after the node takeover?

  • A. The host sees two optimized paths and two non-optimized paths to the LUN
  • B. The host sees two optimized paths and two dead paths to the LUN
  • C. The host sees two non-optimized paths and two dead paths to the LUN
  • D. The host sees four optimized paths to the LUN
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
D. The host sees four optimized paths to the LUN
Question 6

You have implemented FabricPool on your AFF ASA ONTAP 9.8 cluster. An archived database has become very active, and it requires FabricPool adjustments. Which two steps are required to address this issue? (Choose two.)

  • A. Set the space guarantee on the volume
  • B. Set the tiering-policy to none
  • C. Use the promote cloud-retrieval-policy
  • D. Remove all Snapshot copies
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
  • B. Set the tiering-policy to none
  • C. Use the promote cloud-retrieval-policy
Question 7

You have a 100 GB volume with the space guarantee set to volume. This volume contains two space reserved 20 GB LUNs. Both LUNs are at 50% use. You then create a Snapshot copy of the volume. No modifications were performed since the Snapshot copy was completed, and all actions were performed using the CLI. In this scenario, how much free space does the volume have?

  • A. 80 GB
  • B. 40 GB
  • C. 20 GB
  • D. 60 GB
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
D. 60 GB
Question 8

You upgraded your Linux hosts to SUSE Enterprise Linux 15. In this scenario, which two actions should you perform before you test asymmetric namespace access (ANA)? (Choose two.)

  • A. Verify if the LUNs and namespaces are in the same volume
  • B. Verify if the version of NetApp ONTAP software is 9.5 or later
  • C. Verify if the NVMe service has started
  • D. Verify if there is only one LIF in the SVM
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
  • B. Verify if the version of NetApp ONTAP software is 9.5 or later
  • C. Verify if the NVMe service has started
Question 9

An administrator enabled the FCP protocol on an SVM and created a boot LUN for a Windows Server 2019 server host. The host is attached using multiple paths to the storage SVM. After correctly adding the LUN to the igroup and setting its LUN ID to 1, the host is unable to boot using the installed FC HBA. In this scenario, which statement is correct?

  • A. During the boot process, using FCP is not supported by NetApp
  • B. During the boot process, using FCP is not supported by Microsoft
  • C. The LUN ID must be set to 0
  • D. The LUN ID must be set to 255
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
C. The LUN ID must be set to 0
Question 10

You have deployed an AFF A400 system for iSCSI workloads and want to ensure maximum performance to the hosts. In this scenario, which two steps should be configured? (Choose two.)

  • A. Enable jumbo frames on the broadcast domain
  • B. Enable jumbo frames on the IPspace
  • C. Enable jumbo frames on the network switch
  • D. Enable jumbo frames on the LIF
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
  • A. Enable jumbo frames on the broadcast domain
  • C. Enable jumbo frames on the network switch
