A customer wants you to add a new AFF A700 HA pair to an existing 4-node AFF8080 EX cluster. The existing cluster uses NetApp CN1610 switches for the cluster connection and is using the recommended port count.
Which statement is true in this scenario?
The current NetApp CN1610 switches are limited by the number of available ports. The existing configuration with a 4-node AFF8080 EX cluster is already utilizing the recommended port count, and adding a new AFF A700 HA pair would exceed the available ports on the cluster switches. Therefore, there are not enough ports available to accommodate the new nodes.
B The aff700 uses breakout cables to connect to the 10Gb CN1610. There are 16 port per switch and 16 ports are required for the 6 node and 3 ports are required for the ISLs so there are not enough ports.
A. You cannot have more than four nodes with AFF. - You can have up to 12/24 AFF nodes even in a mixed setup B. There are not enough ports available on the cluster switch. - Should be the answer? C. The AFF A700 is not supported with NetApp CN1610 switches/ - Its supported, based on HWU D. You cannot mix different AFF models in the same cluster. - You can mix AFF's, basedon ?HWU
Why not C?
