QUESTION 35
After you install an AFF A700 2-node cluster with DS224C shelves, Config Advisor reports that your SAS cabling is in mixed-path HA. You expected the SAS cabling be in quad-path HA.
You physically verify the LED status on the controllers and the shelves and notice no irregularities. However, a reboot of the SAS expander does not change the output.
In this scenario, what should you do next?

Open a case with NetApp Support and turn off the disk shelves until the issue is solved.

Disconnect the disk shelves from the controller and run Config Advisor again.

Re-seat the SAS IO modules of the affected AFF A700 controller.

Use multipath HA because it is the only cabling supported on an AFF A700 controller.

QUESTION 36
You want to connect a DS224C shelf with 3.8 TB NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) SSDs to an AFF A300 HA pair that already has two DS224C shelves with 3.8 TB SSDs without NSE in one stack.
In this scenario, how would you add the shelf?

Add the shelf to the existing stack.

Create a new stack on the HA pair to add the shelf.

Connect the shelf to an HA pair with NSE drives.

License NSE and add the shelf to this HA pair as a new stack.

QUESTION 39
What is the main function of ACP?

It allows cabling the shelf to two additional controllers.

It allows the controller to use Ethernet instead of SAS to fetch storage data.

It allows the controller to nondisruptively reset the SAS expanders.

It enables automatic shelf ID assignment.

QUESTION 40
You are setting up logical interfaces for client access. Which two types of LIFs are typically used to provide data access to NAS and SAN clients in ONTAP environments?

Cisco

Brocade

Hewlett-Packard

QUESTION 43
You are expanding an existing cluster that uses BES-53248 cluster interconnect switches. You connected the new controllers to ports 0/17 through 0/20. However, you are unable to join the new nodes to the cluster.
Which action must be taken to solve the problem?

Install the license file.

Install the CSHM configuration file.

Install the reference configuration file.

Reboot the controllers.

QUESTION 44
You are a NetApp Professional Services engineer, employed by NetApp. You have just completed an ONTAP cluster installation. You need to collect the relevant configuration information to enable the Service Event Report (SER) to be created.
Which tool would you use to accomplish this task?

Active IQ scheduled reports

In this scenario, which NetApp tool would satisfy this requirement?

Active IQ Digital Advisor

Active IQ Unified Manager

Cloud Insights

ONTAP System Manager

QUESTION 46
A customer wants to separate management traffic from data traffic to improve security and performance. Which two configuration steps should be implemented in ONTAP networking to achieve proper traffic isolation?

Create separate broadcast domains
