NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP SAN — Question 30

A customer wants to expand a 10-node AFF A700s NAS cluster running with Cisco Nexus 3132Q-V cluster interconnect switches using new nodes.
In this scenario, what is the maximum number of nodes to be added into this cluster?

Answer options

• A. 24
• B. 2
• C. 12
• D. 14

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the AFF A700s supports a maximum of 12 nodes in total, and since there are already 10 nodes, only 2 additional nodes can be added. The other options exceed the maximum capacity for the cluster.
