You have a new 2-node FAS8700 ONTAP 9.8 cluster. One of the nodes has 24x16 TB NL-SAS disks assigned and available for a new aggregate. You created the aggregate with one RAID group and two spare disks.
In this scenario, how many data drives are in the aggregate?

Totally agree, 20 is the correct count!

Wait, how does that work? I thought it was 18!

Nope, it’s 20 data drives after RAID group overhead.

So that makes it 22 data drives, right?

There are 24 disks total, minus 2 spares.

I’m leaning towards option D, 19 data drives. If we have 24 disks and 2 are spares, that seems right, but I’m not completely confident about the RAID configuration affecting that.

I practiced a similar question where we had to calculate data drives after accounting for spares. I think it was something like total disks minus spares, but I can’t recall if we need to consider the RAID group size too.

I remember something about RAID groups needing a certain number of disks for parity. If we have one RAID group and 2 spares, maybe we should subtract those from the total, but I’m not sure how that affects the data drives.

I think the aggregate has 24 disks total, and since we have 2 spares, that leaves us with 22 data drives. But wait, is there something about RAID groups that I’m missing?

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this. Accessibility is important, but I'm not sure how it relates to the entire project lifecycle. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. The options seem quite similar, and I'm not sure which one would be the best approach. Maybe I should review the requirements for more context before deciding.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the implications of each option carefully.
