NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 33

A customer is deploying a SAN cluster of A700 nodes and wants to ensure that the SAN cluster will maintain a quorum in the event of a rack level power failure.
Which two statements are true in this scenario? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Three racks are required.
• B. Two racks are required.
• C. Six nodes are required.
• D. Four nodes are required.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D because having two racks ensures that there is redundancy, allowing the SAN cluster to maintain quorum during a power failure. Four nodes are required to achieve this redundancy, while three racks and six nodes are unnecessary for quorum in this situation.
