NetApp Certified Hybrid Cloud Administrator (NCHCA) — Question 5

A customer is deploying a FlexPod Datacenter and planning to boot from SAN each their UCS blades using the Fibre Channel Protocol.
In this scenario, which three actions would accomplish their objective? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Use only a pair of Cisco Nexus 9318YC-FX switches
• B. Create an igroup on the NetApp ONTAP storage system with the appropriate IQNs
• C. Use only a pair of Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 switches
• D. Use a pair of Cisco MDS 9148T and a fair of Cisco 9336C-FX2 switches together
• E. Create an igroup on the NetApp ONTAP storage system with the appropriate WWPNs

Correct answer: A, D, E

Explanation

The correct answers are A, D, and E because using the Cisco Nexus 9318YC-FX switches ensures appropriate connectivity, combining Cisco MDS 9148T with Cisco 9336C-FX2 switches provides a robust network architecture, and creating an igroup with the appropriate WWPNs allows for correct identification of the UCS blades. Options B and C are incorrect; B refers to IQNs, which are not suitable for this scenario, and C only lists switches that do not meet the necessary requirements.
