NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, ONTAP — Question 8

You have a 2-node NetApp cluster. You would like to use an onboard UTA2 port for host connectivity. The port was previously connected to a tape library using native FC.
What must you do to configure the port for host connectivity?

Answer options

• A. Change the port mode to FC.
• B. Change the port mode to CNA.
• C. Change the FC type to initiator.
• D. Change the FC type to target.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because changing the port mode to CNA allows the UTA2 port to support both Fibre Channel and Ethernet, which is necessary for host connectivity. The other options do not configure the port to handle both types of traffic effectively, as simply setting it to FC or adjusting the FC type does not enable the desired dual functionality.
