A financial services firm runs a critical database on a NetApp AFF A700 all-flash array in a single data center. The database must remain available during a planned controller upgrade. The storage administrator plans to perform a nondisruptive upgrade of the controller firmware. Which design element must be in place to ensure the upgrade is truly nondisruptive?

A second storage controller in the HA pair with mirrored NVRAM and automatic takeover capability

A dedicated management network separate from the data network

A SnapMirror relationship to a secondary array in a different data center

A single controller with redundant power supplies and fans

What is the primary purpose of SnapVault in a NetApp data protection strategy?

To provide high-speed cache for frequently accessed data

To replicate data in real-time to a secondary site

To provide long-term retention of snapshots for archival

What is the purpose of monitoring and alerting in a high availability design?

To detect issues early and trigger appropriate responses

To replace the need for redundant components

To increase the performance of the storage system

To automate all maintenance tasks

How can cloud resources be used to enhance availability in a hybrid cloud design?

By replacing all on-premises storage

By reducing the need for network redundancy

By providing a secondary site for failover

By eliminating the need for monitoring

A university runs a research cluster on NetApp AFF A220 with two nodes. Each node has two 10GbE ports connected to two different switches. The storage administrator wants to ensure that a single switch failure does not disrupt access to the storage. What should be configured?

Create a single bond interface on each node using both ports with the 'mode multimode' setting

Connect both ports to the same switch to simplify management

Enable SnapMirror to a remote site for network redundancy

Use only one port per node and rely on the other node for failover
