NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, E-Series — Question 50

You have a remote FlexCache storage device that is running on ONTAP Select 9.8 software. The cache origin volume is on an FAS8700 that is running ONTAP
9.8 software. The WAN connection dropped, and the FlexCache volume is in disconnected mode.
In this scenario, which LIFs would you ping to troubleshoot the disconnect?

Answer options

• A. management
• B. cluster
• C. data
• D. intercluster

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Pinging the intercluster LIFs is necessary because they are responsible for communication between the FlexCache and the origin volume on the FAS8700. The management, cluster, and data LIFs do not facilitate the specific intercluster traffic required to diagnose the connectivity issue in this scenario.
