A customer has a current AFF ASA A700 cluster and they want to expand the cluster by adding a second AFF ASA A700 HA pair. In this scenario, which step would be required to accomplish this task?
A.
Install a BES-53248 cluster switch and convert the AFF ASA A700 from a switchless to switch cluster.
B.
Enable ALUA between the two HA pairs to allow cluster backend traffic.
C.
The customer will need to create a separate cluster for the second AFF ASA A700 pair.
D.
Install a Brocade FC switch and create zoning between the original cluster and the new cluster.
C, With Ontap 9.7 ASA can only be a stand alone HA cluster. With Ontap 9.8 (not part of this exam) the cluster can be expanded to 12 nodes
The following text is part of the TR4515, page 6
With ONTAP 9.7, NetApp introduced AFF ASA systems, which feature symmetric active-active topology,
as shown in Figure 2. The ASA supports SAN (block protocols) only and is built on a single HA pair. It
currently supports FC and iSCSI protocols, and support for NVMe protocols and larger clusters are
expected in later releases.
