NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP v3 — Question 1

When you replace a motherboard, which step will completely test the newly installed component?

Answer options

• A. From ONTAP, execute sldiag.
• B. From the LOADER prompt, type boot_ontap maint, then execute sldiag.
• C. From the LOADER prompt, type boot_diags, then execute sldiag.
• D. From the LOADER prompt, execute sldiag.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because boot_diags initiates the diagnostic mode, allowing for a complete test of the motherboard. The other options either do not enter the appropriate diagnostic mode or do not provide the necessary environment for a comprehensive test, making them less effective for this purpose.
