NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) — Question 7

A 2-node cluster (Node-1 and Node-2) has suffered a takeover event. The down node (Node-1) is currently waiting for giveback. However, it is ensure if the node will boot successfully. The client cannot suffer any data outage.
Which command would you use to perform the giveback?

Answer options

• A. CLUSTER::> storage failover giveback -ofnode Node-1 -only-cfo-aggregates
• B. CLUSTER::> storage failover giveback -fromnode Node-2
• C. CLUSTER::> storage failover giveback -ofnode Node-1 -require-partner-waiting false
• D. CLUSTER::> storage failover giveback -ofnode Node-1 -override-vetoes true

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct command is option C because it allows the giveback to proceed even if Node-1 is not confirmed to be ready, thus preventing any data outage. Option A restricts the giveback to only specific aggregates, while option B attempts to giveback from a different node, and option D disregards vetoes which may not be appropriate in this situation.
