NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) — Question 29

A customer has one storage virtual machine (SVM) that is using Fibre Channel as a protocol (FCP). Some clients are successfully accessing LUNs on this SVM.
The zoning is done by using worldwide port names (WWPNs). The customer creates a second SVM for Fibre Channel and wants to access new LUNs in this SVM from the same clients.
Which three statements are true in this scenario? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. The initiator groups (igroups) from the first SVM are also working for the second SVM.
• B. Fibre Channel zoning must be reconfigured for the new SVM.
• C. FCP must be enabled on the second SVM.
• D. Fibre Channel zoning does not need to be changed if the second SVM uses the same ports as the first SVM.
• E. You must map the new LUNs in the second SVM to the correct initiator group (igroup).

Correct answer: A, B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are A, B, and C. A is true because initiator groups are specific to each SVM, so the first SVM's igroups won't automatically transfer. B is correct as zoning must be adjusted to accommodate the new SVM. C is also true since FCP needs to be enabled on the second SVM for it to function. D is incorrect because zoning may still need to be adjusted even if the same ports are used, and E is wrong because mapping is necessary for access, but the question focuses on the SVM context.
