NetApp Exam NS0-593 Topic 3 Question 53 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-593 exam
Question #: 53
Topic #: 3
[All NS0-593 Questions]

A customer's storage administrator Informs you about the deactivated Automatic Switchover (AUSO) feature on their MetroCluster IP environment.

What Information would you tell your customer in this scenario?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The AUSO feature is a MetroCluster functionality that enables an automatic switchover to the surviving site in the event of a disaster that affects one site1.

The AUSO feature is only available in MetroCluster FC configurations, which use Fibre Channel (FC) switches and FC-to-SAS bridges to connect the nodes and disk shelves across sites1.

MetroCluster IP configurations, which use Ethernet switches and network adapters to connect the nodes and disk shelves across sites, do not support the AUSO feature2.

Instead, MetroCluster IP configurations use the ONTAP Mediator service, which is a software component that monitors the health and connectivity of the MetroCluster nodes and initiates a Mediator-assisted unplanned switchover when a disaster occurs3.

The Mediator-assisted unplanned switchover is similar to the AUSO feature, but it requires the ONTAP Mediator service to be configured and running on a separate host3.

Therefore, you would tell your customer that the AUSO feature is not available in MetroCluster IP installations by design, and that they need to use the ONTAP Mediator service instead for disaster recovery.Reference:

This exam is testing our knowledge of obscure storage features. I bet the answer is hidden in the back of the manual, somewhere between 'Quantum Tunneling for Storage' and 'Perpetual Motion Drives'.

Wait, there's an AUSO feature? I thought MetroCluster IP was just a fancy way to say 'two storage arrays in different locations'.

I think it's option C. A faulty link automatically deactivated the AUSO feature. That makes sense to me.

We should investigate further to confirm if a faulty link is the cause of the deactivation.
