NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 17

You are designing a new 4-node AFF A400 SAN cluster with 20 iSCSI hosts. Each AFF A400 node will have four data LIFs. Each iSCSI host needs to access every LUN over two LIFs per node on every SAN node.
In this scenario, which NetApp SAN feature enables this connectivity?

Answer options

• A. selective LUN mapping
• B. port sets
• C. HBA queue depth
• D. asymmetric namespace

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, port sets, as they allow the configuration of specific ports for iSCSI hosts to access LUNs across multiple nodes effectively. Option A, selective LUN mapping, is more about controlling access to LUNs rather than enabling connectivity across LIFs. Options C and D do not directly relate to the connectivity requirements of the iSCSI hosts in this scenario.
