NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP SAN — Question 34

After an initial setup, you want to create a new data aggregate. The node has thirty-one 4 TB SATA spare disks assigned. Your customer wants to have two spare disks.
In this scenario, which two settings would you use to reach the maximum capacity and availability? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. ""maxraidsize 31
• B. ""raidtype raid_tec
• C. ""raidtype raid_dp
• D. ""maxraidsize 29

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Choosing 'raidtype raid_dp' (option B) ensures data protection through dual parity, increasing availability. Selecting 'maxraidsize 29' (option D) allows for two disks to remain as spares, maximizing the usable capacity while maintaining reliability. The other options either do not provide adequate protection or exceed the desired spare disk requirement.
