NetApp Exam NS0-520 Topic 7 Question 52 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-520 exam

Question #: 52
Topic #: 7

You are configuring a new Netapp ONTAP cluster and are connecting the nodes to Cisco MDS SAN switches. You connect one of the nodes to switch port fc1/11 and run the commands that are shown in the exhibit. The SAN LIFs are enabled but are not operationally online, and none of the SAN hosts can access their LUNs on the ONTAP cluster.

In this scenario, which configuration would cause this problem?

AInteroperability mode is not enabled on the switches

BThe in-order guarantee is not enabled on the switch

CNPV is not enabled on the switches

DNPIV is not enabled on the switches

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

in-order guarantee and interoperability mode are default configuration on a VSAN

NPV is the core switch where NPIV is going to be enabled.

The NPV core switch is defined as an upstream switch on which NPIV is enabled. The NPV core switch receives traffic that is passed to it from a downstream switch that has NPV enabled on it. A switch that is in NPV mode does not switch traffic; instead, it passes traffic to the upstream NPV core switch on which NPIV is enabled.

After NPIV is enabled on the core NPV switch, the port should automatically come up (unless there are other issues).
