Which two SVM types can host intercluster LIFs? (Choose two.)
Which two SVM types can host intercluster LIFs? (Choose two.)
Intercluster LIFs (Logical Interfaces) are associated with endpoints that facilitate communication between different clusters. These interfaces can be hosted on specific types of Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs). The SVM types that can host intercluster LIFs are Admin and System. Admin SVM is responsible for managing the cluster and its resources, while System SVM operates at the cluster level, facilitating necessary administrative tasks. Data SVMs are more focused on serving data to clients, and Node SVMs pertain to individual nodes within the cluster. Therefore, the correct SVM types for hosting intercluster LIFs are Admin and System.
Create intercluster LIFs on either an admin SVM (Default IPspace) or a system SVM (custom IPspace):
A and D
Admin or System
pretty sure this is Admin and Node
B, C for sure
a) Create intercluster LIFs on the system SVM (Configure intercluster LIFs on shared data ports); d) Data SVMs are commonly used for hosting intercluster LIFs. These LIFs allow communication between clusters for various purposes, such as replication and data mobility. The IP addresses assigned to intercluster LIFs can reside in the same subnet as data LIFs or in a different subnet.
Data and admin SVMs handles intercluster communication. System SVM operates on cluster level
It is Admin and System. Why? Admin allows for intercluster lifs. And if you create a new ipspace with broadcastdomain, it will automatically create a system svm and you can create an intercluster lif.
You can create intercluster LIFs on either an admin SVM (Default IPspace) or a system SVM (custom IPspace)
C & D : C) Admin SVM : is the default SVM for the cluster where we can create InterCluster LIFs D) System SVM : is a default SVM for a new created IPSPACE where we can create intercluster LIFs When you create a custom IPspace, the system creates a system storage virtual machine (SVM) to serve as a container for the system objects in that IPspace. You can use the new SVM as the container for any intercluster LIFs in the new IPspace. The new SVM has the same name as the custom IPspace.
Answers are A & D
Create intercluster LIFs on either an admin SVM (Default IPspace) or a system SVM
like wm_iv said: "Create intercluster LIFs on either an admin SVM (Default IPspace) or a system SVM (custom IPspace)":
Create intercluster LIFs on either an admin SVM (Default IPspace) or a system SVM (custom IPspace):
A, D , A can share with data lif ,D can host for cluster replication Functionality: Manages cluster-wide settings and provides a single point for cluster administration. Intercluster Communication: Does not typically host intercluster LIFs, as it is focused on administration rather than data services.
Admin SVM: The admin SVM is responsible for cluster management and includes cluster management LIFs and intercluster LIFs. System SVM: System SVMs are automatically created for cluster-level communications within an IPspace and also contain service policies that can be used for LIFs, including management and intercluster LIFs. Intercluster LIFs: These LIFs are used for communication between different clusters.
Here's how each option relates: A. Data: ✅ Yes, data SVMs can host intercluster LIFs if the intercluster communication is for SVM-level SnapMirror (SVM peering). B. Node: ❌ No, "node" is not an SVM type. C. Admin: ❌ No, "admin" is not an SVM type. D. System: ✅ Yes, the system (cluster) SVM, also known as the cluster SVM (typically named Cluster), can host intercluster LIFs used for cluster-level SnapMirror.
