NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v4 — Question 3

A customer is using a new two-node NetApp All SAN Array (ASA) configuration with SnapMirror active sync. To verify if everything is set up correctly, the customer is looking at the number of paths in their ESXi hosts.
How many paths should the customer see?

Answer options

• A. 4 Active/Optimized, 4 Active/Unoptimized
• B. 6 Active/Optimized, 2 Active/Unoptimized
• C. 2 Active/Optimized, 6 Active/Unoptimized
• D. 8 Active/Optimized, 0 Active/Unoptimized

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because, in a two-node ASA configuration with SnapMirror active sync, each node typically provides multiple paths, resulting in 4 Active/Optimized and 4 Active/Unoptimized paths. The other options do not accurately reflect the expected path configuration for such a setup.
