A 4-node cluster has connectivity for both block and file access. Nodes 1 and 3 are used for file access, and nodes 2 and 4 are used for block access. During routine maintenance, node 4 is switched off and the LIFs are migrated to other nodes. Upon investigation, you see that the LIFs that serve file traffic have moved to alternative ports. However, LIFs that serve the block have not migrated.
In this scenario, what is happening?
In this scenario, the logical interfaces (LIFs) that serve block protocol do not failover automatically. Block access, such as Fibre Channel (FC) or iSCSI, relies on multipathing software or proper FC switch zoning to handle connectivity issues rather than failover mechanisms used by file access protocols. Thus, the LIFs for block traffic remain on their original ports and do not migrate as file traffic LIFs do.
A customer has a 6-node AFF A700 cluster and wants to add four nodes without having to update license functionality for each node manually.
In this scenario, which type of license provides this functionality?
A Site License provides the functionality where all nodes in the cluster are entitled to the licensed functionality without manual updates for each node. This type of license is not tied to a specific system serial number, and any new nodes added to the cluster will automatically inherit the licensed functionality.
You are cabling two Cisco 3232C switches for the cluster interconnect of a 4-node AFF A800 cluster.
Which pair of ports are used to cable the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) between the switches?
The correct pair of ports used to cable the Inter-Switch Link (ISL) between Cisco 3232C switches in a cluster interconnect for a 4-node AFF A800 cluster are ports 1/31 and 1/32. These ports are designated for ISL connections according to standard configuration practices for this model of switch and cluster setup.
After a storage failover, you notice that a NAS LIF, that is linked to the broadcast domain CIFS, is no longer reachable after the takeover. Node cluster1-01 is still waiting for giveback.
Referring to the exhibit, what caused the problem?
The correct answer is that port a0a of node cluster1-01 is down. The image shows that port a0a has a red downward arrow next to it, indicating that it is not operational. This would cause the NAS LIF linked to the CIFS broadcast domain to be unreachable after a storage failover because the failover process would rely on the operational status of this port to maintain connectivity.
Which two NetApp features encrypt storage data? (Choose two.)
NetApp Volume Encryption (NVE) and NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) are the two features provided by NetApp that encrypt storage data. NVE is designed to provide granular encryption at the volume level, while NSE encrypts data at the disk level. Both of these features ensure that data is protected and secure.
