NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP NAS — Question 13

You are asked to add two nodes to an existing 6-node cluster. The nodes you are adding consist of a 7-mode system with only the root aggregates left on the disk.
Which three actions are required to complete the requirement? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. You need to zero the disk to complete the conversion to Cluster Mode.
• B. You need to "hot add" the shelves to an existing clustered Data ONTAP cluster to allow the 7-mode aggregates to be upgraded.
• C. You need to halt the system and change the bootarg.init.boot_clustered false command to true.
• D. You need to update the clustered Data ONTAP version to match the existing clustered Data ONTAP version.
• E. You need to request a swap gear change from NetApp sales to change 7-mode disks to cluster-mode disks. ACD

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct steps involve preparing the 7-mode disks for integration into the cluster. Option A is necessary to change the disk format, and Option B is crucial for adding the shelves without disrupting the current cluster. Option C is incorrect because the command should be set to true for clustered systems, while Option D is essential but not directly related to the conversion process, and Option E is irrelevant as it does not pertain to the steps needed for this operation.
