A customer has created an SVM for their SAN workloads. They now want to configure the SVM to use NVMe/FC.
Which two steps are needed to accomplish this task? (Choose two.)
- A . Add the FC protocol.
- B . Create the FC service.
- C . Create an NVMe/FC LIF.
- D . Create the NVMe service.
An administrator runs the vserver nvme namespace convert-from-iun command on a NetApp ASA cluster to increase host performance.
What is modified by the convert command?
- A . FlexVol
- B . FlexClone
- C . LUN clone
- D . Metadata
What connectivity Is required between NetApp ONTAP clusters in order to configure SnapMirror active sync across two data centers for FC?
- A . Cedicated FC switches and ISL
- B . Shared FC switches
- C . Cluster peering
- D . Dedicated IP switches and ISL
A customer wants to Implement a NetApp AFF system at a small remote site that has two ESXi servers that require SAN storage from the NetApp ONTAP based storage system. The servers will be directly connected, because the customer does not want to deploy any switches.
Which protocol should the customer use?
- A . FCP
- B . NFS
- C . FCoE
- D . iSCSI
A customer requires multiple SAN and NAS protocols on a NetApp AFF cluster. The cluster must concurrently serve a namespace over NVMe/FC, a LUN over FCP, a LUN over iSCSI, and an NFS export.
Based on these requirements, what is the minimum data SVM count that is required?
- A . 3
- B . 4
- C . 1
- D . 2
What needs to be done to create a consistent Snapshot copy of a LUN without disruptions?
- A . Ensure that the LUN is the only one in the volume.
- B . Quiesce I/O to the LUN.
- C . Ensure that the LUN Is unmapped from the host.
- D . Map the LUN to a host.
What is the minimum number of rack units that are required on each site for a NetApp AFF All San Array (ASA) A800 MetroCluster IP configuration with 72 disks per site and Cisco N9K-C9336C-FX2 backend switches?
- A . 16 RU
- B . 8RU
- C . 12 RU
- D . 4RU
An administrator configured an SVM with LUNs with two WWPNs per node. The administrator accidentally created a WWPN on node1 that needs to move to node2. The SAN hosts use ALUA.
Based on this requirement, what must be taken offline to correct the situation?
- A . LIF
- B . LUN
- C . SVM
- D . Volume
A customer has data in a LUN on an existing third-party SAN storage system that will be migrated to a new NetApp AFF A400 all-flash MetroCluster system. The host connected to the LUN is a Windows Server 2019 system.
In this scenario, which two methods are supported? (Choose two.)
- A . SnapMirror Business Continuity
- B . Foreign LUN Import in online mode
- C . Foreign LUN Import in offline mode
- D . Client-side copy of the data
Which two NetApp features provide synchronous data replication between two sites for SAN workloads with automatic failover in case of a site disaster? (Choose two.)
- A . SnapMirror active sync
- B . SnapMirror SVM
- C . SnapMirror Synchronous
- D . MetroCluster IP
