An existing ONTAP cluster is running out of capacity. The admin needs to add a new node to the cluster. What must the admin do before adding the node to the cluster?

Ensure the new node is running the same ONTAP version as the cluster.

Create a new aggregate on the new node before adding it to the cluster.

Configure the new node's storage shelves before joining the cluster.

Disable the cluster network ports on the new node to avoid conflicts.

A company is installing a two-node ONTAP cluster in a data center. The nodes have been racked and cabled, but the storage shelves are not yet connected. The admin needs to ensure the cluster can be set up without interruption. What should the admin do before initializing the nodes?

Initialize the nodes without shelves, then add shelves later using the storage add command.

Connect the storage shelves to the nodes and verify shelf connectivity before running cluster setup.

Configure the cluster network interfaces before connecting the shelves.

Run cluster setup first, then connect the shelves and reboot the nodes to discover them.

An admin is configuring network interfaces for a new ONTAP cluster. The admin wants to ensure that both cluster management and node management are highly available. What is the best practice?

Create only cluster management LIFs and rely on them for node management.

Create node management LIFs only, without cluster management LIFs.

Create a single management LIF that serves both cluster and node management.

Create cluster management LIFs on multiple nodes and node management LIFs on each node, all with failover groups.

A cluster is running out of storage space. The admin has added a new shelf with disks. What is the next step to make the new storage available to existing volumes?

Use the 'storage disk assign' command to assign the new disks to a volume.

Add the new disks directly to an existing volume to expand its size.

Create a new aggregate using the new disks and then add it to a storage pool or assign it to a node.

Reboot the node to automatically detect the new shelf and add it to the default aggregate.
