You are planning to install a new ONTAP 9.7 All SAN Array (ASA) into your existing data center.
In this scenario, which cluster configuration is allowed with ASA controllers?
You are planning to install a new ONTAP 9.7 All SAN Array (ASA) into your existing data center.
In this scenario, which cluster configuration is allowed with ASA controllers?
ONTAP 9.7 All SAN Array (ASA) controllers operate with a symmetric active-active topology and support only SAN (block protocols) like FC and iSCSI. As of ONTAP 9.7, these controllers can only be configured as a standalone High Availability (HA) pair. This limitation ensures that the All SAN Array configuration is optimized for SAN workloads without the complexities and potential conflicts of integrating with NAS workloads or larger, mixed-use clusters.
C is the good answer. With Ontap 9.7 ASA can only be a stand alone HA cluster. With Ontap 9.8 (not part of this exam) the cluster can be expanded to 12 nodes The following text is part of the TR4515, page 6 With ONTAP 9.7, NetApp introduced AFF ASA systems, which feature symmetric active-active topology, as shown in Figure 2. The ASA supports SAN (block protocols) only and is built on a single HA pair. It currently supports FC and iSCSI protocols, and support for NVMe protocols and larger clusters are expected in later releases.

ASA is SAN controller. B is the good answer
