   An administrator plans to remove a node from a four-node ONTAP cluster. The node hosts several data volumes and is part of a two-node SVM. What must the administrator do before removing the node to ensure data availability and cluster health?

   • AMigrate all data volumes off the node and ensure the remaining cluster has quorum.
   • BPower off the node and then run 'cluster remove-node' from another node.
   • CDelete the SVM that the node is part of before removing the node.
   • DReinstall the node's operating system to clear its configuration before removal.

   An administrator is removing a node from a six-node ONTAP cluster. The node hosts a large data volume that is replicated to another node in the cluster. The administrator wants to minimize downtime and ensure data availability. What is the best approach?

   • APower off the node and then remove it from the cluster.
   • BRemove the node from the cluster and then restore the data from the replica.
   • CDelete the data volume and then remove the node from the cluster.
   • DMigrate the data volume to another node, then remove the node from the cluster.

   A company is expanding its ONTAP cluster from two nodes to four nodes. The new nodes are a different model than the existing nodes but are listed as compatible in the NetApp Hardware Universe. The administrator has cabled the cluster network and management network. What is the next step before running 'cluster add-node'?

   • AInstall a new cluster license on the new nodes.
   • BVerify that the new nodes have the same ONTAP version as the existing cluster.
   • CConfigure the cluster network interfaces on the new nodes with static IP addresses.
   • DRun 'cluster add-node' from the existing cluster to initiate the join.

   An administrator is adding a new node to an ONTAP cluster. The new node is physically installed and cabled. The administrator runs 'cluster add-node' from the new node's console. The command fails with an error indicating that the cluster network is unreachable. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe new node's management port is not configured with an IP address.
   • BThe cluster network cables are not connected to the correct ports on the new node.
   • CThe new node does not have a valid cluster license.
   • DThe existing cluster nodes are not running the same ONTAP version.
