Which two steps should an administrator take to create a two-node ONTAP Select cluster that spans two data centers and provide automated switchover without any data loss? (Choose two.)
Which two steps should an administrator take to create a two-node ONTAP Select cluster that spans two data centers and provide automated switchover without any data loss? (Choose two.)
To create a two-node ONTAP Select cluster spanning two data centers with automated switchover and no data loss, it is necessary to ensure the availability of a quorum and to facilitate failover management. The ONTAP Mediator service is used to provide the required quorum for a two-node cluster, ensuring high availability and preventing split-brain scenarios. Additionally, the ONTAP Select Deploy VM should reside at a third location, separate from the two data centers, to facilitate proper cluster operations and mediations in case of failures, thereby delivering the needed redundancy and resiliency. This setup ensures continuous operation without data loss due to failover.
Correct answers here are A and C "A two-node cluster continuously relies on the ONTAP Select Deploy VM for HA quorum. An ONTAP Select Deploy VM taking part in a two-node HA quorum negotiation is labeled a Mediator VM." https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/reference_faq.html#ha-and-clusters "As with all two-node ONTAP Select clusters, there is a separate mediator service contained in the Deploy virtual machine that monitors the nodes and assists in managing failures. With the enhanced distance available with MetroCluster SDS, this creates three distinct sites in the network topology." https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/reference_plan_ots_mcc_sds.html

SnapMirror requires manual intervention its not automated like MetroCluster so its not D
Correct answers are A and B. MetroCluster SDS needs 3 datacenters. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/reference_faq.html
B and C are true. it is a ONTAP Select Metrocluster
