Question 1

Click the Exhibit button.

Referring to the exhibit, which three steps would you take to solve the problem shown in the event log? (Choose three.)



Answer : A, B, D

Step: Replace the SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) module in the controller port.

Reason: Faulty SFPs can cause link issues and errors.


Swap Out the FC Cable:

Step: Replace the Fibre Channel cable connecting the controller port.

Reason: Damaged or faulty cables can lead to intermittent connectivity issues.

Move the Connection to Another Controller Port:

Step: Connect the Fibre Channel cable to a different port on the controller.

Reason: The current port may be faulty, and using another port can help isolate the issue.

Question 2

A company has a duplex E-Series system that is operating in a highly tuned environment. Load distribution between the controllers has been manually set up to achieve a specific distribution based on unique workload characteristics.

In this scenario, to maintain this load distribution over time, which E-Series feature should be disabled?



Answer : D

Understanding Load Distribution: In a duplex E-Series system, load distribution between controllers can be manually set up to optimize performance based on specific workload characteristics.

Automatic Load Balancing: This feature automatically redistributes workloads between controllers to balance the load. However, in a highly tuned environment with manually configured load distribution, this automatic feature can disrupt the optimized settings.

Disabling Automatic Load Balancing: To maintain the manual load distribution over time, the Automatic Load Balancing feature should be disabled. This ensures that the workload remains distributed according to the specific manual configuration without interference from automatic adjustments.

Question 3

Which two steps are required to enable multifactor authentication on an E-Series system? (Choose two.)



Answer : C, D

To enable multifactor authentication (MFA) on an E-Series system, follow these steps:

Map roles (C): Role mapping is necessary to define the permissions and access levels for different users when MFA is enabled. This ensures that only authorized users can access specific functions and data on the system.

Configure LDAP (D): LDAP configuration is required for integrating with directory services to manage user authentication and access control. LDAP settings need to be correctly configured to support MFA, allowing the system to authenticate users against an external directory service.

Question 4

Click the Exhibit button.

An administrator is asked to create a 5532 GiB volume from the volume group.

Referring to the exhibit, how would the administrator complete this request?



Answer : B

Review the Available Capacity: According to the exhibit, the volume group has a total of 17820.00 GiB capacity, out of which 5532.00 GiB is the current free capacity. However, it is split into two free capacity areas of 15120.00 GiB and 2412.00 GiB.

Identify the Challenge: The requested volume of 5532 GiB cannot be created directly from the current free capacity because it is not contiguous; it's split into two separate areas.

Consolidate the Capacity: To create the volume, the administrator needs to consolidate the free capacity. This involves merging the non-contiguous free spaces to form a contiguous space large enough for the 5532 GiB volume.

Procedure for Consolidation:

Access the volume group management settings.

Select the option to consolidate free capacity areas.

Follow the prompts to merge the two free capacity areas into a single contiguous space.

Create the Volume: Once the free capacity is consolidated, proceed to create the 5532 GiB volume from the newly formed contiguous free space.


Question 5

A company is using the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) on all volume groups. However, one volume group failed a security audit.

In this scenario what would cause a volume group to fail the security audit?



Answer : A

FIPS Compliance: The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) requires all components within a system to adhere to specific security standards.

FDE Drives: Full Disk Encryption (FDE) drives are used to ensure data security.

Audit Failure: Adding an FDE drive as a spare to a volume group without proper encryption settings could cause a security audit to fail.

Solution: Ensure all spare drives in a volume group meet the FIPS encryption requirements.


Question 6

Click the Exhibit button.

Referring to the exhibit, which three statements are true? (Choose three.)



Answer : A, B, D

Exhibit Analysis: The exhibit shows the rear view of an E-Series controller with various ports.

SAS expansion ports: 2 ports (EXP1 and EXP2).

SAS host ports: 6 ports.

FC/iSCSI ports: 2 ports (these ports can be configured as either FC or iSCSI).

Reference: NetApp E-Series hardware manual and port configuration guides.


Question 7

Click the Exhibit button.

Referring to the exhibit, which SAS connector is supported on the NetApp E2800 E-Series family?



Answer : A

Identify SAS Connector Types: The exhibit shows different types of SAS connectors labeled 1 through 4.

Review E2800 Documentation: According to NetApp E2800 E-Series documentation, the supported SAS connector for expansion and host connectivity is type 1, which is the mini-SAS HD (High Density) connector.

Match the Connector: Verify the appearance and dimensions of the connector in the exhibit. Type 1 matches the mini-SAS HD connector used in the E2800 series.

Confirm Selection: Type 1 (0.74 in / 13.8 mm) is the correct choice for the E2800 family based on the physical characteristics and NetApp specifications.
