NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP SAN — Question 26

You have a 6-node ONTAP 9.1 cluster with two FAS6290 nodes and four FAS8080 EX nodes using a SAN protocol.
In this scenario, how many FAS9000 HA pairs would be joined to this cluster?

Answer options

• A. 3
• B. 2
• C. 9
• D. 6

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because in a 6-node cluster, you can have a maximum of 6 nodes divided into HA pairs, effectively allowing for 6 FAS9000 HA pairs if they were to be included. The other options do not account for the full node capacity of the cluster.
