Question No. 1

After a normal power down of both nodes for building maintenance, Node01 of a 2-node cluster cannot be powered back up; however, all disk shelves are powered.

Which action should be performed to bring the cluster online and allow Node02 to serve data?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

= The correct action to bring the cluster online and allow Node02 to serve data is to perform a takeover with the storage failover takeover -ofnode Node01 -option force command. This command will force Node02 to take over the resources of Node01 and serve the data from both nodes. This is necessary because Node01 is not responding and cannot initiate a graceful takeover.The other options are not correct because they will either destroy the existing cluster configuration (A and D) or reboot the node without taking over the resources of the other node (B).Reference=1Halt or reboot a node without initiating takeover in a two-node cluster - NetApp Documentation2Solved: Graceful shut down - NetApp Community


Question No. 2

You Just used the CLI to create a NetApp ONTAP FlexGroup Volume on a NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance. After creation, you notice odd behavior in NetApp Cloud Manager.

In this scenario, what Is the reason for this behavior?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

= According to the NetApp Knowledge Base1, while Cloud Volumes ONTAP supports FlexGroup volumes, Cloud Manager does not. If you create a FlexGroup volume from System Manager or from the CLI, then you should set Cloud Manager's Capacity Management mode to Manual. Automatic mode might not work properly with FlexGroup volumes.The other options are incorrect because Cloud Volumes ONTAP does support FlexGroup volumes2, the Capacity Management Mode should not be set to Automatic, and Cloud Manager is not required to provision the FlexGroup volume3.Reference=1,2,3


Question No. 3

You have a 2-node NetApp FAS2750 switchless cluster with twenty-four 1.8 TB disks that is experiencing performance issues. Upon investigation, you discover several type B consistency points.

Referring to the exhibit, which corrective action would address these consistency points?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

A type B consistency point (CP) is triggered when the NVRAM buffer is full and needs to be flushed to disk.A type B CP indicates that the write workload is higher than the disk throughput, and the system is experiencing back pressure1

A switchless cluster is a cluster configuration that does not use external switches for cluster interconnect and management network.A switchless cluster has lower bandwidth and redundancy than a switched cluster, and is limited to two nodes2

The exhibit shows the output of the sysstat -x command, which displays the system performance statistics in extended mode. The output shows that the system has high CPU utilization, high disk utilization, high NVRAM utilization, and several type B CPs.These are signs of performance issues and resource contention3

The best corrective action to address these consistency points is to add an additional shelf of twenty-four 1.8 TB disks.This will increase the disk capacity and throughput, and reduce the disk utilization and the frequency of type B CPs4

Creating additional data LIFs will not address the consistency points, because the data LIFs are used for data access protocols, not for NVRAM flushing5

Converting the 2-node switchless cluster to a 2-node switched cluster will not address the consistency points, because the cluster interconnect and management network are not related to the disk performance6

Replacing the twenty-four 1.8 TB disks with twelve 4 TB disks will not address the consistency points, because the disk throughput will not increase, and the disk utilization will remain high7

Question No. 4

After expanding a two-node AFF A300 cluster with two AFF A700 nodes, you observe latencies when data is accessed indirectly. The system node run -node -command netstat command shows retransmits and packet drops on the LIFs. The AFF A700 nodes with 40 Gbps and the AFF A300 connect with 10 Gbps to the cluster interconnect. You are using Cisco Nexus 3132Q cluster interconnect switches. You just updated to ONTAP 9.8 software.

In this scenario, what is causing this problem?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

A speed mismatch occurs when the cluster ports on different nodes have different speeds, such as 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps1.

A speed mismatch can cause packet loss, retransmits, and latency on the cluster network, especially when data is accessed indirectly, meaning that the node serving the data is different from the node hosting the LIF2.

In this scenario, the AFF A300 nodes have 10 Gbps cluster ports, while the AFF A700 nodes have 40 Gbps cluster ports, creating a speed mismatch on the cluster interconnect34.

The Cisco Nexus 3132Q cluster interconnect switches support both 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps cluster ports, but they have a shallow buffer size of 9 MB per port, which can be easily overwhelmed by the bursty traffic generated by the speed mismatch.

To solve this problem, you need to either upgrade the cluster ports on the AFF A300 nodes to 40 Gbps, or downgrade the cluster ports on the AFF A700 nodes to 10 Gbps, to achieve a homogeneous cluster interconnect1.

Alternatively, you can use QoS policies to limit the bandwidth of the cluster ports to avoid oversubscription and congestion on the cluster interconnect.Reference:

Question No. 5

You have a customer who is concerned with high CPU and disk utilization on their SnapMirror destination system. They are worried about high CPU and disk usage without any user operations.

In this situation, what should you tell the customer?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

SnapMirror is a data replication technology that allows efficient and flexible data protection and disaster recovery for NetApp ONTAP storage systems1

SnapMirror transfers data between source and destination volumes using a network connection.SnapMirror can use storage efficiency features such as compression and deduplication to reduce the amount of data transferred and stored1

SnapMirror transfers are scheduled and controlled by policies that define the frequency, retention, and priority of the transfers.SnapMirror policies can also specify the network bandwidth limit for the transfers2

SnapMirror transfers are considered background tasks that run in the absence of user workload.SnapMirror transfers can consume CPU and disk resources on both source and destination systems, depending on the amount and type of data being replicated3

SnapMirror transfers can throttle up or down depending on the availability of system resources and network bandwidth. SnapMirror transfers will throttle up when there is no user workload, and throttle down when there is user workload.This is to ensure that SnapMirror transfers do not impact the performance of user operations3

Therefore, if a customer is concerned with high CPU and disk utilization on their SnapMirror destination system, the best answer is to explain that background tasks such as SnapMirror throttle up in the absence of user workload.This is normal and expected behavior, and it does not indicate a problem with the system3
