ONTAP SAN Concepts

A customer is deploying a new 8-node NetApp ONTAP cluster for SAN workloads that use FCP, NVMe/FC, and NVMe/TCP.

In this scenario, which statement is true?

  • A NVMe/TCP supports a maximum of two LIFs per node.
  • B NVMe/FC and FCP require different FC ports.
  • C NVMe/FC and NVMe/TCP must be configured in separate SVMs.
  • D NVMe/TCP can only run at 32Gbps or faster.
Explanation

ONTAP supports up to two NVMe LIFs per node, including NVMe/TCP LIFs. FC-NVMe and FCP can share a compatible FC physical port, and ONTAP can support both SCSI and NVMe protocols in the same SVM. NVMe/TCP does not require a 32 Gbps minimum link speed.
