A customer has a current AFF ASA A700 cluster and they want to expand the cluster by adding a second AFF ASA A700 HA pair.
In this scenario, which step would be required to accomplish this task?
With Ontap 9.7 ASA can only be a stand alone HA cluster. With Ontap 9.8 (not part of this exam) the cluster can be expanded to 12 nodes The following text is part of the TR4515, page 6 With ONTAP 9.7, NetApp introduced AFF ASA systems, which feature symmetric active-active topology, as shown in Figure 2. The ASA supports SAN (block protocols) only and is built on a single HA pair. It currently supports FC and iSCSI protocols, and support for NVMe protocols and larger clusters are expected in later releases.
