NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v4 — Question 27

During expansion planning for a 10-node cluster running NetApp ONTAP 9.14.1 software, which uses SAN and NAS, how many additional nodes can be added to this cluster?

Answer options

• A. 2
• B. 6
• C. 4
• D. 8

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a NetApp ONTAP cluster can support up to 24 nodes in total. Therefore, with an existing 10-node cluster, a maximum of 14 additional nodes can be added, but the options provided only allow for a choice of 8 as the highest. The other options (A, B, and C) are all below the maximum capacity and do not reflect the correct maximum possible expansion.
