NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 48

You are expanding an existing cluster that uses BES-53248 cluster interconnect switches. You connected the new controllers to ports 0/17 through 0/20. However, you are unable to join the new nodes to the cluster.
Which action must be taken to solve the problem?

Answer options

• A. Install the license file.
• B. Install the CSHM configuration file.
• C. Install the reference configuration file.
• D. Reboot the controllers.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The solution requires installing the license file, as it is essential for the new controllers to properly integrate into the existing cluster. The other options, such as installing configuration files or rebooting the controllers, do not address the licensing requirement needed for cluster membership.
