NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – Data Protection — Question 11

You currently have an 8-node cluster and want to perform a rolling upgrade to a newer version of ONTAP to solve security issues reported in the Active IQ Web site.
In this scenario, which two steps should you validate before you perform the upgrade? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Run Active IQ Config Advisor.
• B. Validate Nodes with Hardware Universe.
• C. Validate Nodes with Active IQ Unified Manager.
• D. Run Upgrade Advisor Report.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers, A and D, are essential steps to ensure the upgrade process is compliant and prepared for potential issues. Running Active IQ Config Advisor helps identify configuration issues, while generating an Upgrade Advisor Report provides insights into upgrade readiness. Options B and C, while useful for other assessments, do not specifically address the necessary validation steps prior to an upgrade.
