   An engineer is applying a new RCF to a cluster switch. The engineer has verified the RCF is compatible with the switch firmware and ONTAP. The engineer applies the RCF and then verifies the running configuration. The configuration looks correct, but the engineer notices that the switch's startup configuration is not updated. What should the engineer do?

   • ASave the running configuration to the startup configuration
   • BReboot the switch to apply the startup configuration
   • CReapply the RCF to ensure it is saved
   • DIgnore the issue because the running configuration is what matters

   An engineer is upgrading an existing cluster's switches to a new model. The engineer has the new switch firmware and the RCF for the new model. Before applying the RCF, the engineer checks the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool (IMT) and finds that the current ONTAP version is not listed as compatible with the new switch firmware. What should the engineer do first?

   • AUpgrade ONTAP to a version that is compatible with the new switch firmware
   • BUse the old switch firmware on the new switches to maintain compatibility
   • CContact the switch vendor to request a custom RCF for the current ONTAP version
   • DApply the RCF anyway because it is model-specific and will work with any ONTAP version

   A company is deploying a new cluster with switches that are not on the NetApp supported hardware list. The switches are from a major vendor and have similar capabilities. What should the engineer do?

   • AContact NetApp to request support for the switches
   • BUse the switches anyway because they are from a major vendor
   • CChoose switches that are on the NetApp supported hardware list
   • DProceed with the deployment and configure the switches manually

   An engineer is updating the firmware on a cluster switch. After the firmware update, the switch reboots and comes back online. What should the engineer do next to ensure the switch is fully operational?

   • ACheck the switch's uptime to confirm it has not been rebooted
   • BVerify that the switch's firmware version matches the target version and check the running configuration
   • CReboot the switch a second time to ensure the firmware is stable
   • DImmediately apply the RCF again to ensure it is still valid

   A team is preparing to deploy a new cluster switch configuration. They have downloaded the RCF and switch firmware files to a staging server. According to NetApp best practices, what should they do with these files before the maintenance window?

   • ARename the files to match the switch's internal naming convention
   • BEmail the files to all team members for backup
   • CVerify the file checksums and confirm the files are the correct versions for the switch model
   • DLoad the files onto the cluster switches immediately to save time
