NS0-162 Exam - Question 32


Click the Exhibit button.

You have an ONTAP 9.8 cluster. After network maintenance, the LIF that is shown in the exhibit is not always on a correct port and is unreachable by users until the LIFs are moved to port e0c or e0d on either storage node.

In this scenario, which action should you take to ensure that the LIF only fails over to the correct ports?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

In this scenario, the issue is that the LIF is not always on the correct port and becomes unreachable by users unless it is moved to specific ports (e0c or e0d on either storage node). To address this issue, you need to split the broadcast domain to ensure that the LIF only fails over to the correct ports. By creating a new broadcast domain that includes only the correct ports (e0c and e0d), you can prevent the LIF from failing over to other, incorrect ports. Therefore, splitting the broadcast domain is the appropriate action to take.

should be B, include only e0c and e0d in the new broadcast domain

B. There are obviously some ports in the broadcast domain that are unreachable.

sfo-partner-only Available failover target ports: Only those ports in the failover group that are on the LIF's home node and its SFO (storage failover) partner node.

That broadcast domain is large

D! To ensure that the LIF only fails over to the correct ports after network maintenance in the given scenario, you should create an IPspace. An IPspace is a logical container that isolates network traffic on a NetApp cluster. An IPspace separates network traffic for different purposes or tenants, enabling separate failover and routing policies for each IPspace. By creating an IPspace for the LIF, you can ensure that it only fails over to the correct ports, as the IPspace will only allow the LIF to use the ports that are assigned to it. Changing the LIF's failover policy to sfo-partner-only would limit the failover of the LIF to the partner node only, but it would not ensure that the LIF only fails over to the correct ports. Splitting the broadcast domain or creating a DNS load balancing zone would not address the issue of the LIF failing over to incorrect ports.

Correct B. It looks like "broadcast-domain split -broadcast-domain Default -new-broadcast-domain Default2 -ports cluster1-01:e0c, cluster1-01:e0d, cluster1-02:e0c, cluster1-02:e0d"
