01. You are designing the cluster-interconnect topology for a four-node switched cluster and must eliminate single points of failure.
Which choices support cluster interconnect redundancy?
(Choose two.)
a) Converge the cluster-interconnect and client data traffic onto one shared uplink.
b) Disable one of the two switches to simplify the topology.
c) Give each node a cluster-interconnect path to both switches.
d) Use a single switch but apply the RCF to it twice.
e) Deploy two cluster switches instead of one.
02. The engineer is assembling the as-built documentation package to hand to the customer alongside the running cluster.
Which items belong in that as-built record?
(Choose three.)
a) The customer's future capacity-growth forecast and procurement budget for the next fiscal year.
b) A port-level cabling record.
c) The as-applied IP-addressing/naming scheme.
d) A transcript of every keystroke entered on the console during the maintenance window.
e) The provisioned aggregate/volume layout with each RAID type.
03. Before signing off the installation, the engineer runs a pre-handover health review of the new cluster to be sure it is in a clean, supportable state.
Which checks are appropriate to complete before declaring the system ready for the customer?
(Choose three.)
a) Disable event logging so the handover report is not cluttered with routine informational messages.
b) Verify that every aggregate is online and that no disks are failed or unassigned.
c) Migrate the customer's production data onto the new aggregates before the acceptance meeting.
d) Confirm that all cluster and management interfaces are on their home ports and reachable.
e) Check that cluster HA and storage failover are enabled and show both nodes as takeover-ready.
04. While cabling a new HA pair, the engineer must connect the two controllers so they can mirror write cache and coordinate an automatic takeover if a partner fails.
Which connection carries that role?
a) The console serial connection from a laptop to each controller's service port.
b) The out-of-band path used to manage the disk shelves during maintenance.
c) The HA interconnect between the two controllers.
d) The management network uplink from each controller to the customer's access switch.
05. The engineer configured the cluster with a temporary administrative password during installation and must now give the customer control of the admin account.
What is the appropriate way to hand over administrative access?
a) Create a shared read-only account for all customer staff and post the password on the rack label.
b) Hand over the credentials through a secure channel and require the customer to set a new admin password at first login.
c) Email the temporary password to the customer's shared project mailbox and leave the installation account active afterward so access stays convenient.
d) Leave the default factory password unchanged and note it in the public installation ticket for reference.
06. An aggregate is being created to hold the root and initial data volumes on a new node. The engineer wants protection that can survive two simultaneous disk failures within a single RAID group.
Which RAID type meets this requirement?
a) RAID-DP for double-parity protection.
b) RAID-0, which stripes data across the disks without any parity protection at all.
c) A single-plex mirror without any parity inside the underlying RAID groups.
d) RAID-4, which relies on a single dedicated parity disk per RAID group.
07. During installation an engineer wants a pre-check that validates cabling and configuration against best practices before the cluster goes live.
Which support tool is designed for this purpose?
a) Active IQ
b) The event management system (EMS)
c) AutoSupport
d) Config Advisor
08. After a cluster is installed, several configuration issues surface and the engineer gathers diagnostic sources.
Which statements about these support resources are accurate?
(Choose three.)
a) AutoSupport can transmit diagnostic bundles to support so cases are backed by system data.
b) Config Advisor continuously monitors live performance counters and alerts on every threshold breach.
c) EMS replaces the need to collect any other logs during an outage.
d) EMS records system events and messages that help pinpoint what the cluster reported.
e) Active IQ surfaces health and risk insights derived from telemetry across deployed systems.
09. Two tenants must attach to the same cluster while using overlapping IP address ranges, and their routing tables have to remain completely separate.
Which networking construct provides this isolation?
a) An interface group
b) A broadcast domain
c) A subnet
d) An IPspace
10. Your team is planning how network ports on a new cluster are grouped at layer 2.
Which statements accurately describe an ONTAP broadcast domain?
(Choose three.)
a) It isolates the cluster's routing tables so multiple tenants using overlapping address ranges remain fully separated.
b) It bonds two physical links into one logical port using LACP.
c) It groups network ports that share the same layer-2 connectivity.
d) It provides the port set from which LIF failover targets are drawn.
e) Its member ports are expected to use a common MTU.
