Which two errors would fail a pre-upgrade health check? (Choose two.)
Understand Pre-Upgrade Health Check:
Purpose: The pre-upgrade health check is designed to ensure the system is in a stable state before proceeding with firmware or software upgrades. This helps to avoid disruptions and data loss.
Volumes on Non-Preferred Path (B):
Issue: If volumes are reported on a non-preferred path, it indicates that there might be a pathing issue or an imbalance in the I/O load.
Impact: Non-preferred paths can lead to performance degradation and increased latency, which might cause issues during the upgrade process.
Resolution: Ensure that all volumes are accessible through their preferred paths before initiating the upgrade.
I/O Being Processed (D):
Issue: Active I/O during the upgrade process can lead to incomplete or failed upgrades.
Impact: Processing I/O during an upgrade can result in data corruption or loss, and may also cause the upgrade to fail.
Resolution: Suspend or stop all I/O operations on the system before starting the upgrade.

NetApp E-Series Upgrade Procedures and Best Practices
An administrator is asked to create a Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) pool from eleven 12 TB disks with the requirement that there is adequate space available for a reconstruction if a drive in the pool fails.
In this scenario, what should the administrator do to satisfy this requirement?
Create the Disk Pool:
Step: Use the SANtricity System Manager to create a DDP with the eleven 12 TB disks.
Reason: The DDP automatically reserves space for reconstruction purposes.
Automatic Space Reservation:
Functionality: The system automatically reserves adequate space for reconstruction when a disk fails.
Confirmation:
Verify: Check the pool's configuration to ensure the space is reserved for reconstruction.
Result: The system will show the reserved space within the DDP configuration.

NetApp E-Series DDP configuration and best practices
You are adding drives to an existing Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP).
In this scenario, which two drive characteristics should you consider when selecting the drives? (Choose two.)
Check Drive Capacity:
Step: Ensure that the new drives are of the same capacity or larger than the existing drives in the DDP.
Reason: Consistent drive capacity ensures optimal performance and utilization.
Verify Security Type:
Step: Confirm that the new drives have a compatible security type (e.g., FDE, FIPS) with the existing drives.
Reason: Incompatible security types can lead to configuration issues or reduced security.
