NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – BlueXP — Question 55

While testing a recently installed FAS8700 cluster, a node fails. You now need to replace the impaired node.
In this scenario, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. You must move the boot device from the impaired node to the replacement node.
• B. The boot device must remain intact and must not be removed from the impaired node.
• C. You can change any drives or disk shelves as part of this replacement procedure.
• D. A controller model of the same type must be used to replace the impaired node.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because the boot device must be moved to ensure the new node can start up correctly. Option D is also correct as the replacement node must be of the same controller model to maintain compatibility within the cluster. Options B and C are incorrect; the boot device should be moved and altering drives or disk shelves is not typically part of the node replacement procedure.
