Click the Exhibit button.

A customer is testing a newly installed NetApp AFF A400 all-flash HA storage system. An SVM for FCP with a LUN on Node 1 has been configured, and a server has been connected as shown in the exhibit. For testing, the engineer plans to do a storage failover of Node 1.

After the failover, what is the expected status of the marked path?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In the scenario where a storage failover is performed on Node 1 in an HA pair, the path marked in the exhibit would become Active/Nonoptimized. After the failover, the LIFs from Node 1 that were active and optimized will switch to Node 2. Paths that were previously optimized will become nonoptimized because they are now served through the partner node.

I agree with Gabriele, I think the marked path will be Active/Optimized after the failover.

That makes sense, but wouldn't it be safer to assume it will be Unavailable until confirmed otherwise?

I disagree, I believe it will be Active/Optimized because the failover should ensure continuous access to the data.

That makes sense, but I'm not entirely sure. Maybe we should review the documentation to confirm.

I think the correct answer is C. The path should be Active/Nonoptimized after the failover, since the LUN will now be served by the partner node.

Yes, that's correct. The partner node will take over serving the LUN.
