NetApp Certified Storage Architect (NCSA) — Question 2

When you arrive on a customer site, you discover that the customer network administrator has called in sick. While required power has been provided and all of the components ordered have been physically accounted for, the network will not be operational today. Which would be the most useful tool to complete your rack
& stack and initial configuration of the system? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. a Serial Port cable
• B. a CD containing the 10.86 version of SANtricity
• C. a standalone switch or hub
• D. None of the above, come back tomorrow.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best choice is B, as a CD containing the 10.86 version of SANtricity provides essential software for configuring the system, which is crucial in the absence of a functional network. Option A, a Serial Port cable, may assist with direct connections but won't help with software installation. Option C, a standalone switch or hub, would not solve the configuration issues without the necessary software. Option D suggests delaying the work, which isn't practical given the situation.
