A NetApp AFF node in a four-node cluster has a single FC port on one node, which Is used for legacy tape backup. Tape is no longer needed, and the port is disconnected and modified for reuse in the FCP SAN.
Based on this change, which command will verify that the port is usable?
To verify that a modified FC port is usable after it has been repurposed from tape backup to FCP SAN, the command system node hardware unified-connect show should be used. This command checks the status and configuration of the unified connect hardware, ensuring that the port is correctly set up for the new function in the SAN environment.

During maintenance of A NetApp AFF ONTAP cluster, which two steps are needed to move the SAN UFs to new nodes that are members of a portset? (Choose two.)
To move SAN LIFs to new nodes that are members of a portset during maintenance of a NetApp AFF ONTAP cluster, you should take the following steps:
Remove the LIF from the portset: This ensures that the LIF is no longer associated with the current node, preparing it for the move to the new node.
Take the SAN LIF offline: This step is necessary to make configuration changes without causing disruption to the SAN hosts. Once offline, the LIF can be moved to the new node and reconfigured as needed.
These actions help maintain the integrity and performance of the SAN environment during the migration of LIFs.

Which NetApp feature presents LUNs only within the HA pair?
Selective LUN Mapping (SLM) is the feature that presents LUNs only within the HA pair. SLM allows administrators to control which LUNs are visible to which hosts, ensuring that LUNs are only accessible through the designated HA pair, thus improving security and manageability.

An engineer Is implementing a data migration scenario for a customer who has multiple FC LUNs across multiple third-party SAN arrays. The engineer wants to use Foreign LUN Import (FLI) for the migration.
What is a requirement on the destination NetApp ONTAP cluster for FLI?
When using Foreign LUN Import (FLI) for migrating LUNs from third-party SAN arrays to a NetApp ONTAP system, one of the requirements is to have at least one Fibre Channel (FC) port configured in target mode on the destination NetApp ONTAP cluster. This configuration is necessary to facilitate the migration process as the target mode port will accept and manage incoming data from the source SAN arrays.

An administrator upgraded their NetApp ONTAP software from release 9.10.1 to 9.13.1 on a NetApp All SAN Array (ASA) cluster and is creating a new iSCSI SVM.
Which automatic feature can be used with iSCSI?
In NetApp ONTAP 9.13.1, one of the automatic features that can be used with iSCSI is LIF failover. This feature ensures that in the event of a network failure or a node issue, the Logical Interface (LIF) will automatically fail over to another available port, maintaining connectivity and minimizing disruption to iSCSI traffic.
