A two-node ONTAP cluster is configured with Storage Failover (SFO). During a maintenance window, one node is taken offline. What happens to the data LIFs on the offline node?

They are moved to the cluster interconnect network to maintain connectivity.

They remain on the offline node and become unavailable until it returns.

They are deleted and must be recreated after the node returns.

They automatically fail over to the partner node, maintaining client access.

A company is deploying a two-node ONTAP cluster for a mission-critical application. They want to ensure that a single controller failure does not cause data unavailability. Which redundancy feature is specifically designed to address this?

Storage Failover (SFO) between the two nodes

SnapMirror replication to a remote site

Multiple data LIFs on the same node

An administrator is configuring a new ONTAP cluster and needs to ensure that client traffic is isolated from cluster management traffic. Which network design should be used?

Assign all LIFs to the same subnet and rely on firewall rules for isolation.

Use the cluster interconnect network for client traffic to reduce the number of ports needed.

Use the same VLAN for both client and management traffic to simplify the network.

Place client data LIFs on a separate VLAN from the cluster management LIFs.

A company is deploying an ONTAP cluster with a mix of all-flash and hybrid nodes. They want to ensure that the all-flash nodes are used for high-performance workloads and the hybrid nodes for capacity-oriented workloads. What is the best way to achieve this?

Use FlexGroup volumes that span all nodes to balance performance.

Enable FabricPool to automatically tier cold data to the hybrid nodes.

Create separate aggregates on each node and assign workloads to the appropriate node's LIFs.

Use QoS policies to limit the performance of the hybrid nodes.
