[All NS0-593 Questions]

You have a 4-node NetApp ONTAP 9.8 cluster with an AFF A400 HA pair and a FAS8300 HA pair with 16 TB NL-SAS drives. You are asked to automatically tier 150 TB of Snapshot copy data from the AFF A400 aggregates to the FAS8300.

In this scenario, which ONTAP license must be added to the cluster to accomplish this task?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

FabricPool is an ONTAP feature that enables tiering of cold data from SSD aggregates to low-cost object storage, either on-premises or in the cloud1.FabricPool requires a license to be installed on the cluster, and the license type depends on the cloud tier being used2.In this scenario, the cloud tier is another ONTAP cluster (FAS8300), which is not supported by the new Cloud Tiering license that is used for most FabricPool configurations3.Therefore, the old FabricPool license that is retained for dark sites or MetroCluster systems using FabricPool Mirror must be used3.The FabricPool license defines the amount of capacity that can be tiered to the cloud tier, and it can be increased by add-on orders4.Reference:

I'm a bit confused because I thought S3 licenses were related to cloud storage, not tiering between on-prem systems.

Based on the information provided, the FabricPool license seems like the obvious choice here. That's the license required for automated tiering between different storage tiers within the ONTAP cluster.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is the S3 license needed for tiering to the cloud, or is that a different scenario? I'll need to review the ONTAP licensing details.

Haha, this is easy. The correct answer is D. FabricPool license. It's like the developers at NetApp are just trolling us with these questions. 'Automatically tier Snapshot data? Must be FabricPool!'

I'm going with B. VE license. Why? Because it sounds the most complicated and therefore the most likely answer in these certification exams. That's my strategy and I'm sticking to it!
