NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, Specialist — Question 11

Which two default HA features work together to reduce and avoid client outages on an ONTAP FAS cluster? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Automatic takeover
• B. Automatic SAN LIF migration
• C. Automatic failover
• D. Automatic giveback

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Automatic takeover allows one node to take over the resources of another failed node, ensuring continuous client access. Automatic giveback is the process that allows the original node to reclaim control of its resources once it is operational again, further enhancing availability. The other options, while related to availability, do not specifically focus on the automatic handling of failovers in the same manner.
