NetApp Certified Architect – Data Management and Protection — Question 2

You need to perform a DR test on a FAS8200 with SAN LUNs using the onboard UTA2 with 16Gb SFP+.
In this scenario, what is the minimum port speed required on the DR Sites FC switches?

Answer options

• A. 2 Gb
• B. 16 Gb
• C. 8 Gb
• D. 4 Gb

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The minimum port speed required is 16 Gb because the UTA2 operates at that speed, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility during the disaster recovery test. Lower speeds such as 2 Gb, 4 Gb, and 8 Gb would not support the bandwidth needed for the 16Gb SFP+ and could lead to performance bottlenecks.
