A financial services company is deploying a new ONTAP 9.16.1 cluster using AFF A90 systems for a high-frequency trading application. The primary requirement is to provide the lowest possible latency for NVMe/TCP clients while ensuring data is encrypted in-flight for regulatory compliance. A storage architect has been asked to recommend the optimal network encryption method that minimizes performance overhead. Which configuration should be implemented?
A large media production house uses a 10 PB FlexGroup volume on an ONTAP 9.16.1 cluster to store raw 8K video footage. Editors have reported inconsistent performance, with some file operations being significantly slower than others. Analysis reveals that a few constituent volumes are disproportionately busy and full, while others are underutilized. Which ONTAP 9.16.1 feature is specifically designed to automatically resolve this issue over time?
During a security audit, an administrator discovers that the cluster and node management LIFs are accessible from the general user data network, which violates company policy. The requirement is to logically separate the management network traffic from all data and replication traffic without using physical firewalls. Which combination of ONTAP networking objects should be used to achieve this isolation? (Select TWO)
A healthcare provider needs to deploy a new electronic health record (EHR) system on an ONTAP cluster. To comply with HIPAA regulations, all patient data stored in the EHR database volumes must be encrypted at rest. The security team has mandated the use of an external, KMIP-compliant key manager that is already in use elsewhere in the organization. Which NetApp encryption technology meets these requirements?
An administrator is configuring a new SVM for a multi-tenant environment. The tenant requires administrative access but must be restricted to managing only their own volumes, LUNs, and export policies within their assigned SVM. What is the most appropriate ONTAP feature to delegate this limited administrative control?
A new ONTAP administrator is tasked with protecting a critical database volume. The requirements are to create point-in-time copies every hour and retain them for 24 hours, and also to create a daily copy that is replicated to a disaster recovery site. Which two features should be configured to meet these requirements?
A university's research department is experiencing slow performance on their NFS datastores hosted on an ONTAP cluster. A performance analysis shows high read latency during peak hours. The aggregates are composed entirely of HDDs, and the budget for new hardware is limited. The administrator wants to improve read performance by adding a small amount of flash storage. Which NetApp technology should be implemented to accelerate read operations for the existing HDD-based aggregate?
An administrator is setting up a new CIFS/SMB share on an SVM and needs to configure permissions. True or False: In ONTAP, share-level permissions provide the primary and most granular method for controlling user access to files and folders.
An e-commerce company is migrating its on-premises ONTAP workloads to the public cloud to reduce its data center footprint. They require an ONTAP-native solution in AWS that provides the full set of ONTAP features, including SnapMirror, FlexClone, and storage efficiencies. However, they want to avoid managing the underlying cloud infrastructure like EC2 instances and EBS volumes. Which cloud solution should they use?
A storage administrator needs to perform a non-disruptive controller hardware refresh on a two-node HA pair. The process involves replacing the existing controllers with new models while keeping the data on the existing disk shelves. What ONTAP procedure should be followed to accomplish this task with minimal disruption to connected clients?
