NetApp Exam NS0-520 Topic 7 Question 52 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-520 exam
Question #: 52
Topic #: 7
[All NS0-520 Questions]

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?

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).

I think both NPIV and NPV need to be enabled for proper connectivity with the SAN hosts

I believe enabling NPV on the switches could also help resolve the issue

I agree with Norah, NPIV being disabled could cause the SAN LIFs to not be operationally online

I think the problem could be that NPIV is not enabled on the switches

That makes sense. We should check if NPIV is enabled on the switches.

Agreed. Enabling NPIV allows the switch to dynamically create virtual WWNs for devices.

I think option D) NPIV is not enabled on the switches could be the issue.
