Question 90

A storage administrator currently has an 8-node FAS8200 cluster with CIFS, NFS, and iSCSI licenses installed.

In this scenario, how many additional nodes are supported?

    Correct Answer: C

    In an 8-node FAS8200 cluster with iSCSI licenses installed, the cluster is subject to the SAN node limits. According to NetApp's hardware documentation, a cluster that includes iSCSI or other SAN protocols can support up to 12 nodes. Therefore, the number of additional nodes supported in this scenario is 4.
