What is the purpose of adding a disk shelf to an ONTAP cluster?

To add more compute resources to the cluster

To increase the number of cluster interconnect ports

To provide additional storage capacity for aggregates

To improve cluster network redundancy

An admin is adding a new node to an existing ONTAP cluster. The new node has a different ONTAP version than the cluster. What should the admin do to ensure a successful addition?

Downgrade the cluster to match the new node's version.

Use the 'cluster add-node' command with the -force option to bypass version checks.

Upgrade the new node to the same ONTAP version as the cluster before adding it.

Add the node anyway, as ONTAP will automatically reconcile versions.

An admin is installing a new ONTAP cluster and needs to cable the cluster network. The admin wants to ensure that cluster communication is redundant. What is the recommended cabling for the cluster network?

Use the same switch for both cluster and data networks.

Connect all cluster ports to a single switch to simplify management.

Connect each node's cluster ports to two separate cluster switches.

Connect cluster ports directly between nodes without switches.

What is the first step to add a new node to an existing ONTAP cluster?

Assign a management IP address to the node's cluster interconnect port

Create a new aggregate on the node before joining

Initialize the node with the cluster setup command and join the cluster

Physically connect the node to the cluster network and it automatically joins
