NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 47

You want to move a SAN LIF and preserve its configuration information and avoid rezoning the switch fabric.
In this scenario, which two steps must be performed to fulfill this goal? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Keep the SAN LIF online before it is moved.
• B. Take the SAN LIF offline before it is moved.
• C. Move the SAN LIFs to another node in a cluster on different storage virtual machines (SVMs).
• D. Move the SAN LIFs to another node in a cluster on existing storage virtual machines (SVMs).

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Taking the SAN LIF offline before moving it ensures that its configuration is preserved and prevents any disruptions during the transfer, which is why option B is correct. Additionally, moving the SAN LIFs to another node in a cluster on existing storage virtual machines (SVMs) allows for the configuration to be retained without the need for rezoning, making option D the right choice as well. Options A and C do not fulfill the requirements of preserving configuration and avoiding rezoning.
