NetApp NS0-528 Exam - Topic 5 Question 8 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-528 exam
Question #: 8
Topic #: 5
[All NS0-528 Questions]

You are setting up replication between a primary site that has a six-node NetApp cluster and a secondary site that has a two-node NetApp cluster.

What is the minimum number of required Intercluster LIFs?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Each node in a NetApp cluster must have at least one Intercluster LIF to participate in SnapMirror replication. Therefore, for a six-node cluster (primary), you need six LIFs, and for a two-node cluster (secondary), you need two LIFs --- one per node.

I'm going with B. It makes the most sense logically - one Intercluster LIF per node in each cluster.

D has got to be a trick question. Twelve Intercluster LIFs for the primary site? That's just overkill.

C seems like the correct answer to me. The primary site requires two Intercluster LIFs, and the secondary site requires two as well.

I think the answer is B. The primary site requires six Intercluster LIFs, one for each node, and the secondary site requires two, one for each node.

I’m leaning towards B because it seems like we need to account for all nodes, but I could be mixing it up with another topic.

I feel like I practiced a similar question, and it was about having two LIFs for the primary site and one for the secondary. So, could it be A or C?

I think the minimum number of Intercluster LIFs might be one for each site, so maybe A? But I'm not entirely sure.

I think the key here is recognizing that the question is asking for the minimum number of Intercluster LIFs, not the total number across both sites. So the answer should be the smallest combination that meets the replication needs.

Okay, let's see. I know each node in a cluster needs an Intercluster LIF, so for the primary six-node cluster, that would be 6. And for the two-node secondary, that would be 2. So the answer is B, right?

I remember something about needing one LIF per node for replication, which could make it C, but I need to double-check that.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The wording about "minimum required" Intercluster LIFs is throwing me off. I'll need to review the details on Intercluster LIFs to make sure I understand the requirements properly.

Hmm, this seems tricky. I'm not totally sure about the specifics of Intercluster LIFs and how they relate to cluster size. I'll need to think this through carefully.

I think the key here is understanding how many Intercluster LIFs are required per cluster. The question mentions a six-node primary cluster and a two-node secondary cluster, so I'll need to figure out the minimum number for each.
