NetApp NS0-521 Exam - Topic 9 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-521 exam

Question #: 5
Topic #: 9

During expansion planning for a 10-node cluster running NetApp ONTAP 9.14.1 software, which uses SAN and NAS, how many additional nodes can be added to this cluster?

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

NetApp ONTAP 9.14.1 supports up to a 16-node cluster for SAN and NAS configurations. Given a current 10-node cluster, you can add up to 6 additional nodes to reach the maximum supported node count. This expansion capability ensures scalability for growing storage needs while maintaining high availability and performance.

I’m pretty sure it’s 8, but I could be wrong.

Wait, 4? That seems low for expansion.

You can add up to 4 nodes to a 10-node cluster.

If I recall correctly, the maximum for a 10-node cluster is 8 additional nodes. So, I think the answer is D.

I’m a bit confused about the exact limits for ONTAP clusters. I thought it was 6 nodes max for expansion, but I could be mixing it up with another system.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the limit for adding nodes is based on the current configuration. Could it be 4?

I think I remember that a NetApp cluster can scale up to 24 nodes, so maybe we can add 14 more? But I'm not sure how many we can add at once.

Okay, let me think this through. The question says the cluster is currently 10 nodes, and we need to determine how many more can be added. I'll have to consider the ONTAP 9.14.1 cluster limits.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with the specifics of ONTAP cluster sizing. I'll need to review my notes on that before answering.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. I believe the maximum cluster size for ONTAP 9.14.1 is 24 nodes, so the answer should be 14 additional nodes that can be added.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The options seem to cover the main points about SIL testing, so I should be able to identify the relevant aspect.

I remember reading that the maximum number of additional nodes that can be added is 6, so I agree with option B).

Wait, is this a question about ONTAP or a new reality TV show called 'Cluster Chaos'? Either way, I'm going with B. 6 additional nodes, no more, no less. *winks*

Hmm, this one's tricky. Let me think... Oh, I know! The answer must be C. 2 additional nodes because ONTAP 9.14.1 has a maximum cluster size of 12, right? *scratches head*

Yes, you're correct. Adding 2 additional nodes would bring the total to 12, which is the maximum cluster size for ONTAP 9.14.1.

I think you're right, C sounds like the correct answer. The maximum cluster size for ONTAP 9.14.1 is indeed 12 nodes.

Is this a trick question? I mean, who would add only 2 nodes to a 10-node cluster? That's just asking for trouble. I'm going with D, 8 additional nodes.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. After all, 10 nodes plus 6 additional nodes equals 16, which is the maximum cluster size for ONTAP 9.14.1. Easy peasy!
