QuestionQ72

ONTAP SAN implementation and configuration

A storage administrator needs to perform an online data migration by using Foreign LUN Import.

Which two conditions are required to support this task?

Choose two
  • A FCP protocol LIFs must be added to the data SVM.
  • B iSCSI protocol LIFs must be added to the data SVM.
  • C iSCSI targets must be added to the NetApp ONTAP iSCSI initiator.
  • D FCP initiator ports must be available.
Explanation

An FC Foreign LUN Import configuration needs FC initiator-mode ports so ONTAP can connect to and read the foreign array LUNs. Online migration also needs FCP data LIFs on the data SVM to provide the host-facing FC data path while the import continues. NetApp documents that FLI over FC requires an FC adapter in initiator mode, while FCP LIFs provide FC SAN access through the SVM.
