NetApp Certified Data Administrator ONTAP
Administering ONTAP: the cluster and its HA pairs, storage virtual machines as the multi-tenancy unit, provisioning NAS and SAN with the access controls each uses, snapshots and SnapMirror replication, storage efficiency and FlexClone, and non-disruptive upgrades with a repeatable diagnostic order.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| ONTAP architecture, storage provisioning and client access | Not published |
| Data protection, storage efficiency, maintenance and troubleshooting | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. What does a resynchronise need to avoid a full baseline?
- The same ONTAP version at both ends
- The destination to be empty of client writes as expected
- The relationship's schedule to be unchanged
- A common snapshot on both source and destination — correct
Why: Deleting snapshots too aggressively at the source is how the common point is lost.
2. What identifies an iSCSI initiator?
- An IQN — correct
- A WWPN
- A junction path
- An export policy
Why: An iSCSI initiator is identified by its IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name).
