NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – BlueXP — Question 12

A storage administrator is trying to upgrade a pair of FAS2520s with internal SATA storage to a new 2-node FAS8300 cluster. The storage administrator wants to preserve the existing data.
In this scenario, which two capabilities are available to the storage administrator? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. the ability to move the volumes from the old nodes to the new nodes
• B. the ability to pull out the tray of internal disks of the FAS2520s and reseat the tray in the internal storage of the FAS8300s
• C. the ability to create a 4-node MetroCluster across the four nodes
• D. the ability to convert the FAS2520s to disk shelves and attach them to the new nodes

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D because a 4-node MetroCluster can be created to enhance availability and disaster recovery, and FAS2520s can be repurposed as disk shelves for the new FAS8300 nodes. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not align with the upgrade process or capabilities of the new system.
