A solutions architect is designing a new ONTAP SAN for a healthcare provider's VDI environment. The key requirements are predictable low latency and the ability to scale performance and capacity independently. The existing network infrastructure is 10GbE. Which ONTAP SAN protocol and configuration best meet these requirements?
During the initial assessment for a new AFF A400 deployment, the implementation engineer discovers the customer's data center uses a top-of-rack switching design with limited physical rack space. The plan includes both FC and iSCSI connectivity. Which physical connectivity aspect is most critical to validate with the customer's facilities team?
A customer is migrating from a legacy SAN environment to ONTAP. They want to ensure their host bus adapters (HBAs), FC switch firmware, and guest OS versions are fully supported. Which two NetApp tools should be used to validate the complete I/O path? (Select TWO)
True or False: When using Asymmetric Namespace Access (ANA) with NVMe/FC in ONTAP, all paths to a given namespace are reported to the host as 'Optimized/Active'.
A financial institution uses SnapMirror Synchronous (SM-S) to protect a critical database LUN. During a disaster recovery test, the primary site goes offline. What is the state of the LUN on the secondary site, and what action is required to bring it online for host access?
An administrator is provisioning a new 5 TB LUN for a VMware datastore. To optimize space savings, they want to use thin provisioning and enable deduplication. What is the correct sequence of operations in ONTAP?
An administrator is investigating a performance issue where a Linux host connected via FC is experiencing intermittent high latency. The ONTAP cluster has four nodes. The administrator suspects the host is sending I/O over non-optimal paths. Which ONTAP CLI command would help verify the LUN's logical path and its physical location?
A new iSCSI LIF is created on an ONTAP node, but the host initiator is unable to log in to the target portal. A packet capture on the host shows it is sending discovery requests, but no response is received from the storage. The LIF can be pinged from the host. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
A new SAN implementation requires migrating LUNs from a third-party storage array to a new ONTAP cluster with minimal host-side disruption. The implementation engineer plans to use Foreign LUN Import (FLI). Which step is essential for the cutover phase of the FLI process?
What is the primary function of a portset in an ONTAP FCP environment?
