NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP SAN — Question 58

An administrator is installing a new AFF A220 HA pair and needs to convert two unified target adapter (UTA) ports from converged network adapter (CNA) to FC.
In this scenario, which action sequence will accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. 1. Set the adapter to status-admin down. 2. Set the port mode to fc. 3. Set the adapter to status-admin up. 4. Reboot the node.
• B. 1. Set the adapter to status-admin down. 2. Reboot the node. 3. Set the port mode to fc. 4. Set the adapter to status-admin up.
• C. 1. Set the adapter to status-admin down. 2. Set the port mode to fc. 3. Reboot the node. 4. Set the adapter to status-admin up.
• D. 1. Set the port mode to fc. 2. Set the adapter to status-admin down. 3. Reboot the node. 4. Set the adapter to status-admin up.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct sequence is C because the adapter must first be taken down to change the port mode to FC. After setting the mode, the node needs to be rebooted to apply the changes, and finally, the adapter can be brought back up. Options A and B incorrectly position the reboot or do not follow the necessary steps to change the port mode properly, while option D attempts to set the port mode before disabling the adapter, which is not allowed.
