NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) — Question 28

You are preparing to implement a storage virtual machine (SVM) in a SAN configuration. You need to eliminate single points of failure and enable the system to survive component failures.
According to NetApp, what is the recommended minimum number of paths per LUN connecting to each node being used by an SVM in a cluster?

Answer options

• A. 4
• B. 2
• C. 1
• D. 3

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as NetApp recommends at least two paths per LUN to ensure redundancy and eliminate single points of failure. Options A, C, and D do not meet the minimum requirement for maintaining high availability and fault tolerance in a SAN configuration.
