NetApp Certified Support Engineer (NCSE) – ONTAP — Question 3

Following an unexpected takeover, the taken-over node is waiting for giveback. The administrator plans to perform a giveback with the option –cfo–only true.
What happens if this option is used?

Answer options

• A. Only a simulation of the giveback is performed.
• B. Only the root aggregate is given back.
• C. Only SVM root volumes are sent back
• D. Only the data aggregates are sent back.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Using the –cfo–only true option restricts the giveback process to only the data aggregates, which is why option D is correct. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they either imply a simulation instead of an actual giveback, or they reference returning root aggregates or SVM root volumes, which is not the focus of this option.
