Question 1Choose 2

During a security audit, an administrator discovers that the cluster and node management LIFs are accessible from the general user data network, which violates company policy. The requirement is to logically separate the management network traffic from all data and replication traffic without using physical firewalls. Which combination of ONTAP networking objects should be used to achieve this isolation? (Select TWO)

Question 2Choose one

A healthcare provider needs to deploy a new electronic health record (EHR) system on an existing ONTAP cluster whose drives are standard (non-self-encrypting) drives; no new hardware can be purchased. To comply with HIPAA regulations, all patient data stored in the EHR database volumes must be encrypted at rest. The security team has mandated the use of an external, KMIP-compliant key manager that is already in use elsewhere in the organization. Which NetApp encryption technology meets these requirements?

Question 3Choose one

An administrator is configuring a new SVM for a multi-tenant environment. The tenant requires administrative access but must be restricted to managing only their own volumes, LUNs, and export policies within their assigned SVM. What is the most appropriate ONTAP feature to delegate this limited administrative control?

Question 4Choose 2

A new ONTAP administrator is tasked with protecting a critical database volume. The requirements are to create point-in-time copies every hour and retain them for 24 hours, and also to create a daily copy that is replicated to a disaster recovery site. Which two features should be configured to meet these requirements?

Question 5Choose one

A university's research department is experiencing slow performance on their NFS datastores hosted on an ONTAP cluster. A performance analysis shows high read latency during peak hours. The aggregates are composed entirely of HDDs, and the budget for new hardware is limited. The administrator wants to improve read performance by installing a flash caching module in each controller, without adding any SSDs to the existing aggregates. Which NetApp technology should be implemented?

Question 6Choose one

An administrator is setting up a new CIFS/SMB share on an SVM and needs to configure permissions. True or False: In ONTAP, share-level permissions provide the primary and most granular method for controlling user access to files and folders.

Question 7Choose one

An e-commerce company is migrating its on-premises ONTAP workloads to the public cloud to reduce its data center footprint. They require an ONTAP-native solution in AWS that provides the full set of ONTAP features, including SnapMirror, FlexClone, and storage efficiencies. However, they want to avoid managing the underlying cloud infrastructure like EC2 instances and EBS volumes. Which cloud solution should they use?

Question 8Choose one

A storage administrator needs to perform a non-disruptive controller hardware refresh on a two-node HA pair. The process involves replacing the existing controllers with new models while keeping the data on the existing disk shelves. What ONTAP procedure should be followed to accomplish this task with minimal disruption to connected clients?

Question 9Choose one

A storage administrator is troubleshooting an iSCSI connectivity issue. A Windows host is unable to see a LUN that has been provisioned and mapped. The administrator has verified that the iSCSI service is running on the SVM and the host initiator is logged in. What is the next most likely component to check to resolve the LUN visibility issue?

Question 10Choose one

A company has a primary data center and a disaster recovery (DR) site. They use SnapMirror to replicate data between the two sites. They need to add a third site for long-term archival using SnapVault. The goal is to send backups from the DR site to the archival site to minimize performance impact on the primary site. Which replication topology should be configured? graph TD A[Primary Site] --> B(DR Site) B --> C((Archival Site))
