NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP v3 — Question 18

A customer ordered a FAS2720 cluster with 8 TB SATA drives. The customer wants to use the Advanced Drive Partitioning (ADP) feature to avoid consuming the high capacity drives for the root aggregate. Before you use the cluster setup, you issue the aggr status command and notice that ADP is not being used.
In this scenario, what would you use to implement ADP?

Answer options

• A. loader prompt
• B. special boot menu
• C. nodeshell
• D. SP prompt

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the special boot menu allows you to enable Advanced Drive Partitioning (ADP) during the initial setup of the cluster. Options A, C, and D do not provide the necessary interface to activate ADP at this stage, making them unsuitable for this task.
