NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – E-Series — Question 68

You must expand an existing FAS8200 switchless cluster to a switched cluster and add a new FAS8200 HA pair in the cluster.
In this scenario, which three actions would you perform to expand the cluster? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Ensure that the switchless-cluster network option is false.
• B. Connect the existing nodes to the cluster switches.
• C. Change the cluster ports for the existing HA pair.
• D. Ensure that the switchless-cluster network option is true.
• E. Join the new HA pair to the cluster.

Correct answer: A, B, E

Explanation

The correct actions involve ensuring the switchless cluster option is false (A), connecting existing nodes to the switches (B), and integrating the new HA pair into the cluster (E). Changing the cluster ports (C) is unnecessary for this process, and ensuring the switchless option is true (D) contradicts the goal of moving to a switched cluster.
