NetApp Certified Hybrid Cloud Administrator (NCHCA) — Question 2

A customer wants to use a Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX switch to support the FC protocol for booting from SAN without having to deploy additional Cisco 900 Series MDS switches in their FlexPod Datacenter configuration.
In this scenario, what is required for this solution?

Answer options

• A. The customer must enable the FC license on the 93180YC-FX switch
• B. The customer must deploy the 93180YC-FX switch as part of a Cisco ACI fabric
• C. The customer must directly connect the NetApp AFF system to the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects
• D. The customer must add an expansion FC module to the 93180YC-FX switch

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because directly connecting the NetApp AFF system to the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects allows for proper communication and support of the FC protocol. Option A is incorrect as enabling the FC license is not the primary requirement for this scenario. Option B is wrong because deploying within a Cisco ACI fabric is not necessary for FC support, and option D is not applicable since an expansion FC module is not needed in this context.
