Exam NS0-163 topic 1 question 9 discussion

https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/reference_faq.html?q=med#ha-and-clusters We have a two-node ONTAP MetroCluster SDS ! -> The two-node MetroCluster SDS is defined as a cluster whose nodes are physically separated. The requirements are as follows: Three data centers (one for the ONTAP Select Deploy Mediator and one for each node). A + C B is wrong, because the Ontap select deploy VM is the Linux Appliance for installation the Ontap select Cluster. It is not the Mediator.

A & B : A) B) Requierement for ONTAP MetroCluster SDS : Three data centers (one for the ONTAP Select Deploy Mediator and one for each node).

ONTAP Select Deploy is the deployment tool used to set up ONTAP Select nodes.

ONTAP Select Deploy is the deployment tool used to set up ONTAP Select nodes.

SnapMirror requires manual intervention its not automated like MetroCluster so its not D

Correct answers are A and B. MetroCluster SDS needs 3 datacenters. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/reference_faq.html

Correct answers here are A and C "A two-node cluster continuously relies on the ONTAP Select Deploy VM for HA quorum. An ONTAP Select Deploy VM taking part in a two-node HA quorum negotiation is labeled a Mediator VM." https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/reference_faq.html#ha-and-clusters "As with all two-node ONTAP Select clusters, there is a separate mediator service contained in the Deploy virtual machine that monitors the nodes and assists in managing failures. With the enhanced distance available with MetroCluster SDS, this creates three distinct sites in the network topology." https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-select/reference_plan_ots_mcc_sds.html

B and C are true. it is a ONTAP Select Metrocluster
