NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, ONTAP — Question 7

When a two-node cluster is expanded, which cluster configuration would be supported?

Answer options

• A. a 4-node switched cluster
• B. a 4-node switchless cluster
• C. a 3-node switched cluster
• D. a 3-node switchless cluster

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a 3-node switched cluster can be easily achieved through expansion. Options A and B mention 4-node configurations, which are not directly relevant to the expansion of a two-node cluster, while option D presents a switchless configuration that is not the focus of this question.
