NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – Data Protection — Question 10

You are asked to deploy a two-node ONTAP Select system. The physical hardware is located in two different locations. You must ensure high availability and automated switchover.
Which two steps would you take to satisfy this requirement? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Ensure that the ONTAP Select Deploy VM resides at a third location other than the two datacenters.
• B. Use ONTAP Select Deploy to install the nodes on the physical hardware.
• C. Ensure that the SyncMirror license is installed on the cluster.
• D. Use Active IQ Unified Manager to provide a quorum for the two nodes.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because using ONTAP Select Deploy is essential for installing the nodes on the physical hardware. Option D is also correct as Active IQ Unified Manager helps maintain a quorum, which is necessary for high availability. Options A and C do not directly contribute to the high availability and automated switchover requirements for the two-node setup.
