Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-194 exam

Question #: 98
Topic #: 4

You have an ONTAP 2-node cluster. You run a read/write test workload against an SMB share, and it is slower than you expected. You run the same test again, but this time you monitor the storage using a QoS command.

Referring to the exhibit, what is the problem?

AThere is a disk bottleneck.

BAn HA interconnect problem is present.

CThe SMB read sizes should be increased.

DThe NVRAM needs to be replaced.

C) The SMB read sizes should be increased. Bigger is better, right?

I doubt the NVRAM needs replacing, but I remember it being crucial for performance. It seems unlikely to be the problem here.

Increasing SMB read sizes sounds familiar; I think it could help with performance, but I’m not confident it’s the main issue.

I think I saw a practice question where HA interconnect issues caused slowdowns, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember something about disk bottlenecks being common in performance issues, but I'm not sure if that's the only factor here.

The QoS data looks pretty straightforward to me. The high aggregate utilization indicates a disk bottleneck, so I'm confident option A is the correct answer.

Based on the high utilization shown in the QoS graph, I don't think the HA interconnect or NVRAM are the issues here. I'm leaning towards option A as the most likely problem.
