You are asked to deploy a two-node ONTAP Select system. The physical hardware is located in two different locations. You must ensure high availability and automated switchover.
Which two steps would you take to satisfy this requirement? (Choose two.)
To deploy a two-node ONTAP Select system with high availability and automated switchover, the ONTAP Select Deploy VM must reside at a third location other than the two datacenters. This setup ensures that the mediator service, which is necessary for high availability, is not affected by a failure in either of the primary locations. Additionally, the use of ONTAP Select Deploy to install the nodes on the physical hardware is required to properly set up the cluster. Ensuring that the mediator is on a separate location and utilizing ONTAP Select Deploy for installation directly addresses the requirement for high availability and automated switchover in a distributed environment.
Answer is A & B A : The two-node cluster relies on the mediator service hosted by the ONTAP Deploy VM to achieve the same result. The heartbeat network traffic between the ONTAP Select nodes and the ONTAP Deploy mediator service is minimal and resilient so that the ONTAP Deploy VM can be hosted in a different data center than the ONTAP Select two-node cluster. B: ONTAP Select Deploy VM is required to install cluster nodes. Same VM is used Mediator. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/concept_ha_config.html
Answer should be A and B https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/concept_ha_config.html
Thank you, your reference explains this in detail with Diagram of this exact setup.
For me, ABC are correct A It's 100% sure we must have ontap select deploye on a 3rd site : https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/concept_ha_config.html B So yes we have to deploy via ontap select deploy, we have no choice... C Yes we need this license (free) but not included in the installation : https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/pdfs/sidebar/License.pdf page 14 https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/concept_ha_config.html (ctrl +f syncmirror) So.. A & B or C...
A and B are correct
A&B ONTAP Deploy VM acts as mediator
AB confirm. Syncmirror is only needed with MetroCluster or within cluster to mirror an aggregate which is physical racks of disks. We are talking about Ontap Select across site. Sycmirror not possible
A & B are the Correct ones!
B and C are Correct. The two-node ONTAP Select cluster is composed of one HA pair and a mediator. Within the HA pair, data aggregates on each cluster node are synchronously mirrored, and, in the event of a failover, there is no loss of data.
A and C
