Question 1 of 60
A customer wants to deploy NVMe/FC along with an existing FC SAN fabric using ONTAP 9.8.
In this scenario, which two actions are correct? (Choose two.)
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A, B.

To deploy NVMe/FC along with an existing FC SAN fabric using ONTAP 9.8, two actions are required. First, you must enable NVMe/FC on the existing FC SVM. This is necessary because ONTAP 9.8 allows you to configure multiple storage protocols, including NVMe/FC, on the same SVM. Second, you need to create new zoning on fabric switches. This is required to properly manage the communication paths for the new NVMe/FC devices, ensuring that they have isolated zones and appropriate paths configured.

Exam NS0-520: Question 2 - Image 1
You are configuring a new NetApp ONTAP cluster and are connecting the nodes to Cisco MDS SAN switches. You connect one of the nodes to switch port fc1/11 and run the commands that are shown in the exhibit. The SAN LIFs are enabled but are not operationally online, and none of the SAN hosts can access their LUNs on the ONTAP cluster.
In this scenario, which configuration would cause this problem?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

The problem described in the scenario where SAN LIFs are enabled but not operationally online and SAN hosts cannot access their LUNs is likely due to NPIV not being enabled on the switches. NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) allows multiple virtual N_Ports to share a single physical N_Port, which is essential for the proper functioning of LIFs in a multi-tenant environment like NetApp ONTAP clusters. While the exhibit shows the interface and node details, it does not indicate whether NPIV is enabled. Ensuring that NPIV is configured correctly on the switches would likely resolve the issue.

Question 3 of 60
You are installing an AFF A250 system with ONTAP 9.8 software. Your customer asks you about the recommended LIF configuration for the iSCSI protocol.
In this scenario, which two statements are correct? (Choose two.)
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A, B.

Each node in an iSCSI configuration must be connected to a minimum of two Ethernet switches to ensure redundancy and high availability. Additionally, each Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) in an iSCSI configuration must have a minimum of two Logical Interface (LIF) per node for redundancy and load balancing purposes.

Question 4 of 60
A customer has a 4-node cluster consisting of a FAS8020 system and an AFF A220 system that is running iSCSI workloads across two separate SVMs. The FAS8020 system is reaching end of support, so they add a new AFF A400 system to migrate workloads off the FAS8020 system. The customer wants to migrate data off the FAS8020 aggregate n1_aggr1 on SVM2 to the AFF A400 aggregate n5_aggr1 on SVM1.
In this scenario, which NetApp command would accomplish this task?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

To migrate volume data between different storage virtual machines (SVMs), the appropriate command is 'volume rehost'. This command allows for the reassignment of volumes from one SVM to another, facilitating the movement of workloads without the need for a SnapMirror copy. Despite being a disruptive operation for data access and volume management, 'volume rehost' directly addresses the requirement of migrating data from the FAS8020 aggregate on one SVM to the AFF A400 aggregate on another SVM.

Question 5 of 60
Which NetApp tool provides a detailed inventory of SAN components?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

Active IQ OneCollect is the correct tool for providing a detailed inventory of SAN components. The tool is specifically designed to collect and analyze end-to-end configuration and inventory information from your storage environment, including SAN components.
