NetApp NS0-593 Exam - Topic 9 Question 39 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-593 exam
Question #: 39
Topic #: 9
[All NS0-593 Questions]

An administrator receives the following error message:

What are two causes for this error? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, D

The error message ''wafl.cp.toolong:error'' indicates that a WAFL consistency point (CP) took longer than 30 seconds to complete. A CP is a process that flushes the data from the NVRAM buffer to the disk.A long CP can cause latency and performance issues for the system1

One possible cause for a long CP is excessive SSD load causing the wear leveling to become unbalanced. Wear leveling is a technique that distributes the write operations evenly across the SSD cells to extend the lifespan of the SSD.If some SSD cells are written more frequently than others, the wear leveling will become unbalanced and the SSD performance will degrade2

Another possible cause for a long CP is an SSD disk performing garbage collection to create a dense data layout. Garbage collection is a process that reclaims the space occupied by invalid or deleted data on the SSD.Garbage collection can improve the write performance and storage efficiency of the SSD, but it can also consume CPU and disk resources and cause long CPs3

A disk failing or being failed is not a likely cause for a long CP, because the system will automatically mark the disk as failed and remove it from the aggregate.The system will also initiate a disk reconstruction or a RAID scrub to restore the data protection and redundancy4

There is no evidence that the system has SATA HDDs, so there is no reason to assume that there is excessive SATA HDD load.Moreover, SATA HDDs are usually used for secondary or backup storage, not for primary or performance-sensitive workloads5

D makes sense too, garbage collection can cause hiccups.

Garbage collection on an SSD sounds familiar, but I’m not confident if that’s one of the correct answers for this error.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like excessive load on the SSD could be a factor, but I can't recall the details.

I think a disk falling could definitely cause an error like this, but I’m not entirely sure about the SSD specifics.

I remember something about SSD wear leveling, but I'm not sure if that's the main issue here.

Okay, the error message mentions something about wear leveling, so that's a good clue. I'll have to consider options A and D.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The key seems to be moving the Normal Servers from EAST-IS to NY-IS with the least administrative effort. I'm leaning towards option C, as it seems the most straightforward.

I'm pretty sure the answer is Restricted. That's the option that will prevent the deletion of records in Table1 if there are related records in Table2, which is exactly what the question is asking for. I feel good about this one.
