NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP SAN — Question 55

A 4-node cluster has connectivity for both block and file access. Nodes 1 and 3 are used for file access, and nodes 2 and 4 are used for block access. During routine maintenance, node 4 is switched off and the LIFs are migrated to other nodes. Upon investigation, you see that the LIFs that serve file traffic have moved to alternative ports. However, LIFs that serve the block have not migrated.
In this scenario, what is happening?

Answer options

• A. The failover group is configured incorrectly.
• B. The fiber switch is configured incorrectly.
• C. There is a faulty SFP.
• D. The LIFs that serve the block protocol do not failover.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The issue is likely with the configuration of the fiber switch, preventing the block LIFs from migrating during the failover process. The other options don't address the specific condition of the block LIFs not moving, as an incorrect failover group or faulty SFP would typically affect both types of traffic, not just block access.
