NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 51

You want to configure namespaces to support NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC) using ONTAP 9.8.
Which action will accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Add FC to the list of SVM protocols.
• B. Configure a LIF for the NVMe protocol.
• C. Enable ALUA on the namespaces that should use the NVMe protocol.
• D. Remove any protocols from the SVM before adding the NVMe protocol.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because configuring a LIF (Logical Interface) specifically for the NVMe protocol is essential for enabling NVMe/FC communication. Option A is incorrect as simply adding FC does not directly support NVMe; option C is not necessary for basic configuration, and option D is irrelevant since existing protocols do not need to be removed to add NVMe.
