NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer - SAN, ONTAP

NetApp · advanced · 90 minutes

In developmentThis course is still being brought to our full standard. The questions and notes are usable, but they have not yet been checked line by line against the vendor’s own training.

Block storage on the ONTAP install base: storage virtual machines, LUNs and initiator groups, why SAN interfaces do not migrate and how ALUA and path count deliver resilience instead, the Fibre Channel, iSCSI and NVMe fabrics, then host utilities and multipathing, the volume space behaviour that causes most real incidents, quality of service, and the protection choices from snapshots through to MetroCluster.

What the exam covers

The domains our question bank is built on. We have not yet transcribed this vendor’s own outline for this exam.

ONTAP SAN architecture and the fabric	Not published
Host integration, space, performance and protection	Not published

Two sample questions

Two of the 181, with the answer and the explanation.

1. What does space allocation reporting to the host enable?

The host learns which paths are optimised
The host learns the LUN's serial number
The host learns when the volume is running out — correct
The host learns the snapshot schedule

Why: Without it, the first sign of trouble is a write failing rather than a warning.

2. What does the igroup's OS type affect?

How the LUN presents — correct
The RAID parity
The snapshot schedule
The export policy

Why: The declared OS type sets alignment and SCSI behaviour so the LUN works correctly for that host.
