An administrator is adding a new AFF A250 to an existing 4-node cluster that has cloud tiering enabled to AWS. What is the minimum number of LIFs that must be added for tiering?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

When adding a new AFF A250 to an existing 4-node cluster with cloud tiering enabled to AWS, a minimum of two logical interface (LIF) configurations are necessary for the tiering process. Here's the rationale:

LIF Configuration for Cloud Tiering: Each node in a NetApp cluster typically requires a minimum of one data LIF for client access and an additional LIF for inter-cluster communication. However, for cloud tiering purposes specifically, at least one data LIF per node is essential to manage the data movement to and from AWS.

Purpose of Additional LIFs: Since the AFF A250 is being added to an existing cluster, it will share the cluster's existing infrastructure but will still need its data LIFs configured to participate in cloud tiering.

Best Practices: It's advisable to configure multiple LIFs across different subnets or network paths to ensure redundancy and optimal data flow, especially in a cloud-tiered environment to maintain performance and availability.

For more specific instructions on configuring LIFs for cloud tiering in a NetApp environment, refer to NetApp's technical documentation on cloud tiering and cluster networking: NetApp Cloud Tiering Documentation.

I'm going with B) 8. Gotta have redundancy, you know? Can't have the cloud tiering going down because we skimped on the LIFs.

That makes sense, but I still think it's C) 2 because the question is asking for the minimum number of LIFs needed.

A) 4 LIFs? What is this, amateur hour? Real admins know you need at least 8 LIFs to handle all the cloud data.

B) Yeah, 8 LIFs is the way to go for sure.

D) 6 seems a bit excessive. Unless this cluster is planning on tiering to the Moon, I don't see the need for that many LIFs.

I think the answer is B) 8. Gotta have a LIF for each node in the cluster, plus one for the cloud tiering connection.

Exactly, 8 LIFs is the minimum required for tiering with the new addition.
