NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – NVMe — Question 69

During an ONTAP upgrade, the administrator notices that several FC LIFs are in an offline state.

In this scenario, what would cause this problem?

Answer options

• A. The failover group is missing a configuration.
• B. The broadcast domain is missing a configuration.
• C. The personality is set to initiator.
• D. The SAN LIFs remain on an offline node.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, indicates that the SAN LIFs are located on a node that is not operational, which directly leads to them being offline. Options A and B reference configuration issues that do not specifically cause the offline state of the LIFs, while option C is incorrect as the personality being set to initiator does not inherently cause the LIFs to be offline.
