NetApp Exam NS0-521 Topic 3 Question 19 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-521 exam
Question #: 19
Topic #: 3
[All NS0-521 Questions]

An administrator configured an SVM with LUNs with two WWPNs per node. The administrator accidentally created a WWPN on node1 that needs to move to node2. The SAN hosts use ALUA.

Based on this requirement, what must be taken offline to correct the situation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

To move a WWPN from node1 to node2 in a NetApp ONTAP SAN environment where ALUA is used, you must take the Logical Interface (LIF) offline. Modifying LIFs involves changing their assignment between nodes, which requires them to be temporarily offline. This ensures that the path states are correctly updated without causing disruption to the SAN hosts.

But wouldn't taking the LIF offline also be necessary to make the change?

Haha, imagine if the answer was C) SVM. 'Excuse me, I need to take the entire SVM offline to fix a single WWPN? That's overkill!'

I agree with Marla. Moving the WWPN from node1 to node2 would require taking the LUN offline.

I agree with B) LUN. Modifying a WWPN requires the LUN to be offline, as it's a LUN-level configuration.

The correct answer is B) LUN. You need to take the LUN offline to move the WWPN from node1 to node2 when using ALUA.
