NetApp Certified Architect – Data Management and Protection — Question 10

You are planning to expand an existing SAN only cluster consisting of eight AFF A700 nodes.
In this scenario, that is the maximum number of additional AFF A700 nodes allowed for your cluster?

Answer options

• A. 8
• B. 4
• C. 12
• D. 0

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a SAN only cluster with AFF A700 nodes has a fixed limit, and no additional nodes can be added beyond the existing eight. Options A, B, and C suggest adding more nodes, which is not permissible in this scenario.
