NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP SAN — Question 2

While preparing for a new cluster installation, your customer indicates that they have some disk shelves and switches that were discontinued at their old site. They want to re-use as much of this equipment as possible. You must verify that their discontinued equipment is compatible with the new equipment they have on order.
Which two actions will accomplish this task? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use the Hardware Universe portal (HWU).
• B. look up the compatibility in the Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT).
• C. Verify compatibility from Activity IQ.
• D. Run the Cluster Configuration Builder tool (ConfigBuilder).

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT) specifically provides compatibility information for various hardware components. Option A, the Hardware Universe portal (HWU), is useful for general information but not specifically for compatibility checks. Option C, Activity IQ, does not focus on equipment compatibility, and Option D, the Cluster Configuration Builder tool (ConfigBuilder), is more for planning configurations rather than verifying compatibility.
