A company is planning to deploy a new ONTAP cluster with a switch model that has just been released. The switch vendor provides firmware, but NetApp has not yet published an RCF for this switch model. What should the engineer do?

Use the switch's built-in cluster configuration wizard

Proceed with the deployment using the switch's default configuration

Use the RCF from a similar switch model and modify it as needed

Wait until NetApp publishes a compatible RCF for the switch model

What is the recommended method for staging software files (such as RCFs and firmware) before deploying them to cluster switches?

Upload them to the ONTAP cluster using the 'software put' command.

Email the files to the switch's management port.

Copy them directly to the switch's flash memory using a USB drive.

Place them on a local workstation or server that can be accessed by the switch management interface.

A company is expanding an existing cluster by adding a second pair of switches. The existing switches run firmware version X, and the new switches come with firmware version Y. The engineer checks the IMT and finds that ONTAP supports both firmware versions, but the RCF is only available for version X. What should the engineer do?

Use the new switches without an RCF because they are preconfigured

Downgrade the new switches to firmware version X to use the existing RCF

Upgrade ONTAP to a version that supports firmware version Y with an RCF

Use the RCF for version X on the new switches running version Y

Which three software components are typically required for configuring NetApp cluster switches?

RCF, ONTAP, and Active IQ Unified Manager

ONTAP, RCF, and switch firmware

ONTAP, SANtricity, and switch firmware

Switch firmware, RCF, and SnapCenter

An engineer is staging software files for a cluster switch deployment. The engineer has downloaded the RCF and firmware from the NetApp support site. The engineer notices that the RCF file is for a different switch model than the one being deployed. What should the engineer do?

Use the RCF anyway because the switch models are similar

Modify the RCF to match the switch model

Download the correct RCF for the switch model being deployed

Proceed without an RCF and configure the switch manually
