NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) — Question 2

Your customer has a 2-node cluster with two FAS2554 controllers running clustered Data ONTAP 8.3. You want to upgrade non-disruptively to clustered Data
ONTAP 8.3.1 using the rolling-upgrade method.
Which two operations would you perform before issuing the ~storage failover takeover -ofnode NodeA~ command? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Upgrade the service processor of all nodes.
• B. Migrate all LIFs used for iSCSI and FC away from NodeA.
• C. Change the default boot image to the new image.
• D. Install the new software image an all nodes.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct as migrating all LIFs away from NodeA ensures that there is no disruption in services during the upgrade. Option C is also correct because changing the default boot image prepares the node for the new software upon reboot. Options A and D are not required steps before the takeover command; the service processor upgrade and software installation can occur afterward.
