NetApp Certified Hybrid Cloud Administrator (NCHCA) — Question 6

Your environment currently has a 12-node NetApp cluster serving iSCSI. You need to add at least four more nodes to serve FC to your environment.
In this scenario, what should you do?

Answer options

• A. You can safely add up to 4 more storage controllers in the current cluster
• B. You can safely add up to 6 more storage controllers in the current cluster
• C. You must create a new cluster with the new storage controllers
• D. You can safely add up to 12 more storage controllers in the current cluster

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because adding new storage controllers for FC requires a separate cluster due to compatibility and configuration differences. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they suggest that you can expand the existing cluster, which is not feasible in this scenario.
