NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 11

Your customer asks you how to connect a host for SAN access to the newly installed AFF A400 system.
In this scenario, which two statements are correct? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Direct connection to the nodes from the hosts with FC is not supported.
• B. Direct connection to the nodes from the hosts with iSCSI is not supported.
• C. Direct connection to the nodes from the hosts with iSCSI is supported.
• D. Direct connection to the nodes from the hosts with FC is supported.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers are A and C. Direct connections using FC are not supported due to architectural limitations, while iSCSI connections are allowed as they align with the system's designed connectivity options. Option B is incorrect because it states that iSCSI connections are not supported, which contradicts the correct answer, while D incorrectly claims that FC connections are supported.
