You have a new ONTAP 9.7 2-node AFF A300 cluster with 2x DS224C full shelves of 3.8 TB encrypted SSDs.
In this scenario, which statement matches the factory disk-ownership setting? (Choose the best answer.)
You have a new ONTAP 9.7 2-node AFF A300 cluster with 2x DS224C full shelves of 3.8 TB encrypted SSDs.
In this scenario, which statement matches the factory disk-ownership setting? (Choose the best answer.)
In NetApp ONTAP systems, disk ownership is typically pre-configured at the factory for optimal performance and balance across the nodes. For a 2-node AFF A300 cluster with DS224C shelves, the drives are commonly assigned in such a way that drives 0-11 on each shelf are assigned to one node, and drives 12-23 on each shelf are assigned to the partner node. This configuration helps in distributing the load and ensures balanced performance and redundancy across both nodes in the cluster.

Disk ownership (all shelves) Bays 0-11 to node 1 Bays 12-23 to node 2
hmmm, its a DS224C connected via 12GB/s SAS. ITs A all along. Splitting disk 0-11 12-23 only happens to the front disks on the each controller
I disagree - it didn't say it's a san optimized config. Normal AFF A300 will have even-number disks on one node and odd-number on the other, so the answer is B. I built one exactly like this last week, so, you know...
but is is clear in the document it is factory default
this is so weird...why would they do that....ODD and EVEN number of disks...? anyway...I trust you with B:)
