During expansion planning for a 10-node cluster running NetApp ONTAP 9.14.1 software, which uses SAN and NAS, how many additional nodes can be added to this cluster?

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

NetApp ONTAP 9.14.1 supports up to a 16-node cluster for SAN and NAS configurations. Given a current 10-node cluster, you can add up to 6 additional nodes to reach the maximum supported node count. This expansion capability ensures scalability for growing storage needs while maintaining high availability and performance.

I remember reading that the maximum number of additional nodes that can be added is 6, so I agree with option B).

Wait, is this a question about ONTAP or a new reality TV show called 'Cluster Chaos'? Either way, I'm going with B. 6 additional nodes, no more, no less. *winks*

Hmm, this one's tricky. Let me think... Oh, I know! The answer must be C. 2 additional nodes because ONTAP 9.14.1 has a maximum cluster size of 12, right? *scratches head*

Yes, you're correct. Adding 2 additional nodes would bring the total to 12, which is the maximum cluster size for ONTAP 9.14.1.

I think you're right, C sounds like the correct answer. The maximum cluster size for ONTAP 9.14.1 is indeed 12 nodes.

Is this a trick question? I mean, who would add only 2 nodes to a 10-node cluster? That's just asking for trouble. I'm going with D, 8 additional nodes.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. After all, 10 nodes plus 6 additional nodes equals 16, which is the maximum cluster size for ONTAP 9.14.1. Easy peasy!
