NetApp Exam NS0-521 Topic 2 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-521 exam

Question #: 15
Topic #: 2

A customer requires multiple SAN and NAS protocols on a NetApp AFF cluster. The cluster must concurrently serve a namespace over NVMe/FC, a LUN over FCP, a LUN over iSCSI, and an NFS export.

Based on these requirements, what is the minimum data SVM count that is required?

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To concurrently serve a namespace over NVMe/FC, a LUN over FCP, a LUN over iSCSI, and an NFS export, only one data SVM (Storage Virtual Machine) is required. NetApp ONTAP allows a single SVM to support multiple SAN and NAS protocols simultaneously, enabling efficient and consolidated management of storage resources.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Maybe I should just ask the cat for the answer. Felines are known for their networking expertise, right?

I agree with Tamra, having 3 SVMs would be sufficient to meet the requirements.

I disagree, I believe it is 3 because each protocol requires a separate SVM.

C is the way to go. 1 data SVM can definitely handle all those protocols. NetApp is magic, after all!

Definitely, having just 1 data SVM makes it easier to manage and maintain the cluster efficiently.

I'm going with B. 4 data SVMs seems like the correct answer to me. You need one for each protocol to keep things organized and performant.

I think the answer is D. 2 data SVMs should be able to handle all those protocols concurrently. One for the NAS protocols and one for the SAN protocols.
