Deploying a new AFF A400 is also a solid option for more capacity.

Wait, can you really just add shelves like that? Sounds too easy!

You can definitely connect new NS224 shelves to the existing ones.

I practiced a similar question where we had to consider dedicated switches for new shelves, so I think that could be a valid choice here too.

Connecting to the Cisco Nexus switches sounds familiar, but I’m not confident if that’s the right approach for adding capacity.

I think deploying a new AFF A400 could be an option, but I’m not clear on whether it’s the most efficient way to add capacity.

I remember something about connecting new shelves directly to the existing ones, but I'm not sure if adjusting shelf IDs is necessary.

Based on the information provided, I'd say the best options are to either connect the new NS224 shelves to the existing ones and adjust the IDs, or deploy a new AFF A400 to the cluster. The other choices don't seem to align with the requirements.

I'm a bit confused on the Cisco Nexus 3232C switches part. Do we need to connect the new shelves to those as well? I'll have to double-check the ONTAP requirements.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is to connect the new NS224 shelves to the existing HA pair and adjust the shelf IDs. That should be the easiest way to add more capacity.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'm leaning towards A and C, but I can't help but wonder if the customer has a thing for Nexus switches. Maybe they just really want to show off their tech skills to the rest of the office.

I think B and D are the way to go. Connecting the new shelves to the Nexus switches and setting up dedicated storage switches will give them the flexibility they need. Plus, it's always fun to play with new hardware!

Ah, looks like the customer needs to add more storage capacity. I'd go with A and C - connect the new NS224 shelves to the existing ones and deploy a new AFF A400 to the cluster. That should do the trick!

User 2: Agreed, that sounds like a good plan. We should also deploy a new AFF A400 to the cluster for additional capacity.
