You are working on a fabric MetroCluster. After a site failure, the plex starts to resync automatically to the aggregate mirror of Aggr1. The plex now shows a status of resyncing. During this process, you experience a slow resync of the SyncMirror plex.
In this scenario, how do you solve the problem?
To address the problem of slow resync of the SyncMirror plex in a fabric MetroCluster, you can tune the resync speed using the storage raid-options command. This command allows you to adjust the parameters that control the speed and efficiency of the resync process, thereby optimizing the performance during the operation. Adding more disks or creating a baseline sync are not appropriate as they do not directly address the speed of the resync process. Adding a QoS policy to limit I/O is also not relevant as it would restrict the I/O capacity, potentially slowing down the resync further.
When you replace a motherboard, which step will completely test the newly installed component?
To completely test a newly installed motherboard, you should boot into the diagnostic mode using 'boot_diags' from the LOADER prompt and then execute 'sldiag'. This approach ensures that the system enters the appropriate diagnostic environment specifically designed for hardware tests, including thorough testing of newly installed components like the motherboard.
A disaster causes a FlexGroup volume to be unrecoverable, but it was protected by a SnapMirror relationship. You solve the issue, and the source is operational.
Now, you want to return to serving the data from the original source.
In this scenario, what do you do next?
When you want to return to serving data from the original source after a disaster, you need to remove the existing SnapMirror relationship to ensure that the source is no longer dependent on the backup destination. Therefore, the correct step would be to delete the SnapMirror relationship.
Which type of MetroCluster is shown in the exhibit?
The MetroCluster configuration shown in the exhibit is a 4-node Fabric-Attached MetroCluster. This is indicated by the presence of Fibre Channel (FC) switches, which are specific to fabric-attached configurations. The use of FC switches eliminates the possibility of it being a 2-node stretch, 4-node MetroCluster IP, or 4-node stretch MetroCluster, as these configurations do not use FC switches in the same manner.
You have determined that an SFP+ has failed on one of your storage controllers.
In this scenario, what do you use to determine which SFP+ should be replaced by NetApp Support?
NetApp Active IQ is a tool that provides monitoring and diagnostic capabilities for NetApp environments. It can analyze logs and determine hardware issues, such as a failed SFP+, which would allow you to identify the specific SFP+ that needs replacement. This makes it the appropriate tool to use in this scenario.
