NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) — Question 19

Which statement is true about a switchless cluster?

Answer options

• A. A switchless cluster can only be used for a system with two controllers in one chassis configuration.
• B. A switchless cluster can support up to one node per cluster port.
• C. In a switchless cluster, the network options switchless-cluster -enabled parameter must be set to true.
• D. Converting a switchless cluster to a switched cluster is disruptive.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because it accurately states that the switchless-cluster -enabled parameter must be set to true for the configuration to function. Option A is incorrect as switchless clusters can be used in various configurations beyond just two controllers in one chassis. Option B is misleading because a switchless cluster can support multiple nodes per cluster port, and option D is inaccurate as converting to a switched cluster can often be done without disruption.
