NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 26

You are preparing to add a 2-node AFF A250 system to an existing 4-node AFF A800 cluster with Cisco Nexus 3232C switches. The cluster switches are currently running the Cluster-HA RCF.
In this scenario, which two steps are required to install the AFF A250 system? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Load the Storage RCF.
• B. Cable the AFF A250 nodes to the next free ports on the switch.
• C. Cable the AFF A250 nodes to the breakout ports on the switch.
• D. Load the Cluster-HA-Breakout RCF.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct steps involve cabling to the breakout ports and loading the appropriate RCF for breakout configurations, which are essential for integrating the new nodes into the existing cluster. Options A and B are incorrect because loading the Storage RCF is not necessary for this configuration, and cabling to the next free ports does not meet the requirements for a breakout configuration.
