A financial services client is deploying a new FlexPod Datacenter with NetApp AFF A250, Cisco UCS B200 M6 blades, and Nexus 93180YC-FX switches. To comply with strict data sovereignty regulations, they must ensure that all NFSv4.1 traffic for their European user base is handled exclusively by a dedicated SVM and its associated LIFs. Which ONTAP feature is the most direct and effective way to enforce this traffic segmentation at the network level?
During the initial setup of a Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect pair, an administrator must decide between End-Host Mode and Switch Mode for Ethernet switching. The upstream network consists of a pair of Nexus 9000 switches configured for vPC. Which two statements accurately describe the implications of choosing End-Host Mode in this scenario? (Select TWO)
A FlexPod administrator is provisioning a new UCS Service Profile for a database server that requires SAN boot. The storage team has provisioned a LUN on the NetApp AFF array. When configuring the boot policy, the administrator needs to specify the World Wide Port Name (WWPN) of the target. Where is the correct WWPN for the FC SAN LIF found?
True or False: When performing a non-disruptive software upgrade (ISSU) on a pair of Nexus 9000 series switches configured with vPC, the operational role of the vPC primary switch is automatically transferred to the secondary switch before the upgrade process begins on the primary.
A hospital is expanding its FlexPod infrastructure to support a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. The new UCS C-Series servers will connect via iSCSI to a NetApp AFF C190. The network administrator is creating a dedicated VLAN and subnet for iSCSI traffic. According to Cisco and NetApp best practices for iSCSI performance and reliability, which network feature should be enabled on the Nexus switch ports connected to the servers and storage?
An administrator is setting up a new NetApp aggregate on a FAS8300 system as part of a FlexPod deployment. The aggregate will consist of 24 SAS disks. To provide the highest level of data protection against multiple simultaneous disk failures, the administrator should use the `___________` RAID type.
A media company uses FlexPod to host its video rendering farm. They need to ensure that rendering traffic has guaranteed bandwidth while management and vMotion traffic receive best-effort service. Which UCS Manager component should be configured to define these traffic priorities?
After a maintenance window, an administrator discovers that several ESXi hosts in a FlexPod environment can no longer see their iSCSI datastores. The administrator confirms that the iSCSI LIFs are online on the NetApp array and that basic network connectivity (ping) exists between the ESXi hosts' iSCSI vmkernels and the NetApp LIFs. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
A new FlexPod solution is being deployed with Cisco UCS C240 M6 servers that will be managed by UCS Manager. How are these rack-mount servers physically connected to the Fabric Interconnects to enable UCS Manager control?
A consultant is designing a FlexPod solution for a client who requires both high-performance block storage for a database and scalable file storage for user home directories. Which combination of NetApp storage components is most appropriate for this design?
