QuestionQ1

Introduction to Storage System Monitoring and Manageability

Question Image

Referring to the exhibit, which two components should be examined?

Choose two
  • A cluster switches
  • B SAS adapter
  • C network interface card
  • D disk
Explanation

The workload latency is dominated by network latency, while disk latency is zero and the other ONTAP subsystem latencies are negligible. The network path should therefore be checked at the network interface card and the cluster switches. NetApp documents that the Network field reports latency in the network subsystem.

QuestionQ2

Introduction to Data Protection in Clustered Data ONTAP

A customer needs to retain physical hard copies of transaction data at an off-site location to satisfy regulatory requirements.

Which NetApp technology allows the customer to achieve this?

  • A SnapVault
  • B NDMP
  • C SVM DR
  • D FlexCache
Explanation

NDMP supports backup application integration for backing up NetApp data to tape, providing physical media that can be stored off site for regulatory retention requirements.

QuestionQ4

Introduction to Networking in Clustered Data ONTAP

You detect cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors on a network port from a node in the cluster.

Which two components should you consider reseating or replacing before taking action on the physical port on the node that reports the errors?

Choose two
  • A SFP
  • B cluster interconnect switch
  • C up-stream switch
  • D cable
Explanation

CRC errors commonly result from a physical media-path fault, including a poorly seated or failed SFP and a damaged or improperly seated cable. Reseating or replacing those components is therefore appropriate before treating the node’s physical port as faulty.

QuestionQ5

Introduction to Networking in Clustered Data ONTAP

Which two cabling methods are supported for a NetApp HCI compute node?

Choose two
  • A 1-cable configuration
  • B 2-cable configuration
  • C 6-cable configuration
  • D 4-cable configuration
Explanation

NetApp HCI compute nodes support two-cable and six-cable network configurations. The two-cable topology carries the required traffic on two bonded ports, while the six-cable topology uses dedicated port pairs for traffic types. A four-cable topology is for storage nodes, not compute nodes. NetApp: Select a network topology
