QuestionQ10

ONTAP SAN Concepts

A customer deploys an SVM for FCP with four LIFs spanning two fabrics. Client traffic is evenly distributed across all four LIFs.

In this situation, how is traffic on the active, unoptimized paths sent to the node that hosts the LUN?

  • A HA interconnect
  • B FC network
  • C Cluster network
  • D Peering network
Explanation

For an active/unoptimized (indirect) SAN path, the receiving LIF is on a node other than the one hosting the LUN. ONTAP forwards that I/O over the cluster network to the LUN-hosting node.
