NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 52

You have an existing 8-node NetApp cluster serving NFS data, and you want to expand your cluster by an additional four nodes to serve iSCSI.
In this scenario, where would you validate this configuration?

Answer options

• A. SAN Administration Guide
• B. Interoperability Matrix Tool
• C. Active IQ Upgrade Advisor
• D. Hardware Universe

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Hardware Universe is the correct resource to validate hardware compatibility and configurations for your NetApp cluster expansion. The SAN Administration Guide focuses on management tasks, while the Interoperability Matrix Tool and Active IQ Upgrade Advisor are used for software compatibility and upgrade considerations, not hardware validation.
