A customer is designing a FlexPod solution that must satisfy the requirements shown below:
-- have disaster recovery to an alternative data center,
-- must have continuous replication of data for a database,
-- must leverage a 100Gbps capable switch,
-- have a maximum distance of 700 km.
In this scenario, which two components would be used to satisfy the requirements? (Choose two.)
To meet the requirements of a maximum distance of 700 km, continuous replication of data for a database, and leveraging a 100Gbps capable switch, MetroCluster IP and Cisco Nexus 3232C are the appropriate components. MetroCluster IP supports distances up to 700 km, which satisfies the disaster recovery and replication needs, while the Cisco Nexus 3232C switch provides the 100Gbps capability.
MetroCluster FC did not support 700km and 100GbE (Backend)
700km exceeds the supported distance for metrocluster FC
from page 7 of: https://www.netapp.com/media/13480-tr4705.pdf The following figure shows the basic four-node MetroCluster configuration. Data centers A and B are connected by Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) at distances up to 300km for FC and up to 700km for IP. The cluster at each site consists of two nodes in an HA pair. We use this configuration and naming throughout this report.
