NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – Data Protection — Question 55

Which two statements are true about epsilon? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. In a two-node cluster, each node holds epsilon.
• B. Epsilon is automatically assigned to the first node when the cluster is created.
• C. Epsilon is automatically assigned to the last node when the cluster is created.
• D. Epsilon is an extra fractional vote that enables quorum.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because epsilon is indeed assigned to the first node when a cluster is created, ensuring that the cluster can maintain quorum from the start. Option D is also correct as epsilon provides an additional fractional vote that helps in achieving quorum. Options A and C are incorrect; epsilon is not distributed across nodes in a two-node cluster and is not assigned to the last node.
