A customer wants to expand a 10-node AFF A700s NAS cluster running with Cisco Nexus 3132Q-V cluster interconnect switches using new nodes.
In this scenario, what is the maximum number of nodes to be added into this cluster?

The maximum number of nodes that can be added to an AFF A700s NAS cluster using Cisco Nexus 3132Q-V cluster interconnect switches is 24 nodes. This is because the Nexus 3132Q-V switch has 32 ports, and each node requires one port. Therefore, in a two-switch cluster, each switch supports up to 12 nodes, totaling 24 nodes in the cluster.
D For NAS 24 and SAN 12 https://hwu.netapp.com/Controller/Index?platformTypeId=5265148
switch has 32 x 40Gb ports and each node needs 1 x 40Gb port per node so only 24 ports per switch would get used.
