NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, E-Series — Question 41

You have commissioned a new AFF A250 MetroCluster over IP configuration. Your company requires an automatic switchover to the surviving site in case of a site disaster.
What do you need to configure to fulfill this requirement?

Answer options

• A. ONTAP Mediator service
• B. cluster failover
• C. automated unplanned switchover
• D. storage failover

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The ONTAP Mediator service is essential for enabling automatic switchover in a MetroCluster environment, as it facilitates the coordination between sites during a disaster. The other options, such as cluster failover and storage failover, do not provide the specific functionality needed for automatic site switchover in this context.
