NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 45

You have a 4-node ONTAP 9.8 cluster with a FAS8700 HA pair that serves iSCSI LUNs. You are adding a new AFF A250 HA pair to the cluster with new iSCSI SAN LIFs. You need to allow non-optimized data paths from the AFF A250 nodes to the existing LUNs on the FAS8700 nodes.
In this scenario, which two ONTAP configuration settings must you verify? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. port sets
• B. switch zoning
• C. reporting nodes
• D. failover groups

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers are A and C because verifying port sets ensures that the appropriate network interfaces are configured for data traffic, while checking reporting nodes confirms that the system correctly recognizes the existing LUNs. Switch zoning (B) pertains to physical network configurations, and failover groups (D) are related to high availability rather than data path optimization.
