NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 31

You are a system administrator and responsible for a NetApp AFF A800 2-node ONTAP 9.8 cluster that is used only for SAN. Your SAN uses FC and FCoE on the same Cisco switches. You want to add NVMe from the ONTAP controller to the same Cisco fabric.
Which two statements are correct in this scenario? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. FC and NVMe can share the same 32 Gb physical port.
• B. The same SVM can serve both the FC and the FCoE protocols.
• C. The same SVM cannot serve both the FC and the NVMe protocols.
• D. FCoE and NVMe can share the same physical port.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answer is C and D because the same SVM cannot serve both FC and NVMe protocols simultaneously due to their differing requirements. However, FCoE and NVMe can share the same physical port, allowing for more efficient use of resources in the fabric.
