NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 21

You are expanding an existing 4-node ONTAP 9.8 cluster with a FAS8300 HA pair by adding a new FAS500f HA pair. Before the expansion, you are asked to save the configuration of the cluster to a backup file.
In this scenario, which two ONTAP configuration backup methods are available? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. storage VM
• B. node
• C. cluster
• D. switch

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because the 'node' and 'cluster' methods are both valid ways to back up the ONTAP configuration. The 'storage VM' option is not relevant for backing up the overall cluster configuration, and 'switch' is not a method for ONTAP configuration backup.
