NetApp Certified Design Engineer – SAN — Question 19

You are configuring both NVMe and FC on the same AFF A800 2-node ONTAP 9.5 cluster. You are configuring both protocols on the same Cisco FC network switches.
In this scenario, which configuration on the cluster is supported?

Answer options

• A. a volume with both LUNs and namespaces
• B. an SVM with both nvme and fcp allowed protocols
• C. an AFF A800 node HBA with both NVMe/FC and FC on the same port
• D. a LIF with both fc-nvme and fcp data protocols

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a volume can contain both LUNs and namespaces, which supports the combination of NVMe and FC protocols. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not support the configuration of both protocols on the cluster in the specified manner.
