Question 1 of 87
You are the administrator of an ONTAP 9.8 cluster. You have configured an hourly snapshot schedule for all NAS volumes. One of your users accidentally deleted an important spreadsheet file on an SMB share. The file needs to be restored as quickly as possible by the Windows user.
Which statement is correct in this scenario?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

The quickest way for a Windows user to restore a deleted file from an SMB share is to use the Previous Versions feature in Windows Explorer. By right-clicking on the SMB share where the file was deleted and selecting 'Previous Versions,' the user can browse through the available versions, select the version containing the file, and copy it back to the original location. This method leverages the hourly snapshots without requiring administrator intervention or complex command-line operations.

Question 2 of 87
After creating several volumes, you notice that the hosting aggregates immediately show a decrease in available space.
Which volume setting would prevent this outcome?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

To prevent the hosting aggregates from immediately showing a decrease in available space when creating several volumes, the volume setting should be 'space guarantee set to none'. This setting ensures that no space is reserved upfront for the volume, allowing the aggregate to maintain its available space until the actual data is written.

Question 3 of 87
You want to prepare your ONTAP cluster and your ESXi cluster to connect NFS datastores over a 10-GbE network using jumbo frames.
In this scenario, which three configurations would accomplish this task? (Choose three.)
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B, D, E.

To prepare an ONTAP cluster and an ESXi cluster to connect NFS datastores over a 10-GbE network using jumbo frames, the MTU configuration must be set to a value higher than the standard 1500 bytes to reduce the overhead and improve performance. Enabling jumbo frames with an MTU of 9000 on both the ONTAP cluster and the ESXi hosts is necessary to fully utilize the jumbo frame capabilities. Additionally, configuring the switches to accommodate jumbo frames, typically with an MTU of 9216, ensures that the larger frame sizes can pass through the network without fragmentation. Therefore, enabling jumbo frames with an MTU of 9000 for your ONTAP cluster, enabling jumbo frames with an MTU of 9000 for your ESXi hosts, and enabling jumbo frames with an MTU of 9216 for your switches are the correct configurations needed.

Question 4 of 87
Which two storage efficiency features are enabled by default on AFF systems? (Choose two.)
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A, D.

On AFF systems, volume-level inline deduplication and aggregate-level inline deduplication are both enabled by default. These features help optimize storage efficiency by removing duplicate data at the volume and aggregate levels, respectively. Compression features, while important, are not enabled at the aggregate level by default in AFF systems.

Question 5 of 87
When you perform an upgrade using ONTAP System Manager 9.8, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A, D.

When upgrading using ONTAP System Manager 9.8, the images must be manually uploaded to the cluster by using the ONTAP System Manager interface. Additionally, the update history is available within the ONTAP System Manager interface. This ensures that administrators have control over which images are used for upgrades and provides a record of past updates.
