During a new AFF A250 installation, an engineer discovers that the customer-provided rack does not have sufficient Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to support the power requirements specified in the NetApp Hardware Universe. The customer suggests using lower-amperage splitters to accommodate the existing PDUs. What is the appropriate course of action for the installation engineer?
An engineer is cabling a new two-node switchless FAS8700 cluster. Which two connections are required for the cluster interconnect on each controller? (Select TWO)
You are performing a rolling Automated Nondisruptive Upgrade (ANDU) on a 4-node cluster. During the upgrade of the second node, the process pauses with an error indicating that an SMB session has a continuously open file, preventing a clean takeover. Which action should be taken to resolve this issue and continue the upgrade?
An engineer is creating a new aggregate on an AFF system with 24 SSDs. The requirement is to provide the highest level of data protection available while maximizing usable capacity. Which RAID type should be selected?
A customer wants to add two new FAS500f nodes to an existing 4-node cluster of AFF A400 nodes. All nodes are running the same ONTAP version. What is the primary reason this configuration is not supported?
You are configuring networking for a new SVM that will serve NFS and iSCSI traffic to two different departments, Sales and Engineering. The departments are on separate, non-routable VLANs (VLAN 100 for Sales, VLAN 200 for Engineering). You need to ensure traffic is isolated. Which ONTAP networking object is used to group network ports and VLANs together so that data LIFs can be created for a specific SVM?
True or False: A cluster interconnect network requires dedicated, high-speed switch ports and cannot share physical network infrastructure with data or management traffic.
An engineer is installing a new 4-node AFF cluster using two Cisco Nexus 3232C cluster interconnect switches. To provide redundancy, the engineer must cable Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) between the switches. According to NetApp best practices, what is the minimum number of ISLs required and how should they be cabled?
You have just physically installed a pair of new Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switches. Before connecting the cluster nodes, you must apply the correct configuration file. What is the name of this file type and where do you obtain it?
During the process of removing a node from a 4-node cluster, what is the significance of the `cluster remove-node` command's effect on epsilon?
