NetApp NCSIE NS0-180 Questions & Answers

• Question 31:

  A customer wants you to add a disk shelf that contains SSDs so they can implement Flash Pool.

  Which three tools would you use to complete this task? (Choose three.)

  A. Use the My AutoSupport tool to ensure that Flash pool is licensed.

  B. Use Hardware Universe to ensure that you would not exceed the maximum drive count.

  C. Use Hardware Universe to ensure that you would not exceed the maximum cache for the system.

  D. Use the My AutoSupport tool to see if there is a Flash Cache card installed.

  E. Use Config Builder to verify the shelves can be added.

  Correct Answer: ABE

  Explanation: The Hardware Universe (HWU) application is NetApp's system configuration solution, replacing the System Configuration Guides.

• Question 32:

  You are performing an installation of a clustered Data ONTAP and you reach the AutoSupport configuration point. You configured AutoSupport with all of the customer's information. But when you trigger AutoSupport, the customer says that they did not receive the message, and neither did NetApp.

  Which two actions must be verified? (Choose two.)

  A. You can ping the mailhost from the NetApp storage systems.

  B. The customer has enabled port 25 from the storage controllers on their firewall.

  C. The customer has enabled routing of email-based messages from the storage controllers on their email server.

  D. You can ping the NetApp Support site from the storage systems.

  Correct Answer: AB

  Explanation: A: Check that the mail host specified in the options is a host that the storage system can talk

  to, by running the following command on the storage system:

  ping mailhost_name

  mailhost_name is the name of the mail host specified in the AutoSupport options.

  B: The customer firewall must let SMTP (port 25) messages go through their firewall.

• Question 33:

  You are asked to complete a 2-node installation of a FAS8060 cluster running clustered Data ONTAP 8.3. The hardware has been installed and the cluster has been configured. AutoSupport testing has not been successful because NetApp Support cannot see any messages, and the customer does not have any messages in their inbox.

  Which two actions should be performed to test the functionality from the NetApp cluster? (Choose two.)

  A. Verify that the network gateway responds to a ping request.

  B. Verify that the mailhost responds to a ping request.

  C. Verify that the domain controller responds to a ping request.

  D. Verify that the cluster interconnect switches respond to a ping request.

  Correct Answer: BD

  B: Check that the mail host specified in the options is a host that the storage system can talk to, by running

  the following command on the storage system:

  ping mailhost_name

  mailhost_name is the name of the mail host specified in the AutoSupport options.

  D: If the system cannot deliver AutoSupport messages over SMTP you should confirm basic network

  connectivity and DNS lookup:

  Your network management LIF must be up for operational and administrative status.

  You must be able to ping a functioning host on the same subnet from the cluster management LIF (not a LIF on any of the nodes). You must be able to ping a functioning host outside the subnet from the cluster management LIF. You must be able to ping a functioning host outside the subnet from the cluster management LIF using the name of the host (not the IP address).

• Question 34:

  Click the exhibit button.

  

  You are installing a FAS2254 and a DS2246 disk shelf at a customer's site. The controller and disk shelf must be racked in separate rows in the data center due to available space. The customer wants you to use two of the 20-meter copper SAS cables to make connections.

  Referring to the exhibit, which statement is correct?

  A. You will need to contract sales to obtain a wireless adapter.

  B. You will need to contract sales to obtain the 20 meter copper cables.

  C. The controller and disk shelf must be closer together if copper cables are to be used.

  D. You will need to contact sales to obtain an Ethernet adapter.

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: According to the exhibit the maximum copper cable length that can be used is 5 meters.

• Question 35:

  What network information is required to set up any Cisco switches attached to a clustered Data ONTAP system? (Choose two.)

  A. All management ports configured for e0d or the service port (wrench icon) are required.

  B. VLAN tags for each interface are required.

  C. Host names and IP addresses for each of the controllers and configured switches are required.

  D. The appropriate number and type of cables and cable connectors for your switches are required.

  Correct Answer: CD

  Explanation: C: You need the following network information for all switch configurations: *Two or more IP subnet addresses for cluster network and management network traffic

  *

  Host names and IP addresses for each of the controllers and all applicable switches

  *

  Management network port assignments for your controller

  D: To configure your cluster, you need the appropriate number and type of cables and cable connectors for your switches. Depending on the type of switch you are initially configuring, you need to connect to the switch console port with the included console cable.

• Question 36:

  A customer is installing a new system. The administrator needs to have the maximum available amount of data space.

  Which disk configuration should the administrator use?

  A. RAID-DP

  B. RAID4

  C. Flash Pool

  D. ADP

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: Advanced drive partitioning to increase usable capacity for entry systems, all-flash FAS, and

  Flash Pool.

  Incorrect:

  Not A: RAID-DP is useful for maximizing data protection, but it does not provide the maximum available

  data space. Not B: RAID4 is useful for optimizing writes, but it does not provide the maximum available

  data space.

• Question 40:

  A customer learns that a certain NetApp tool allows remote data collection, intelligent core file handling, and notification of down storage controllers for technical support analysis and troubleshooting.

  What is the name of this tool?

  A. RSA

  B. HWU

  C. Synergy

  D. HW Assist

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: Remote Support Agent (RSA) is a remote diagnostics data collector that is embedded directly into the storage controller's remote management device firmware. Remote Support Agent enables a NetApp support engineer to remotely request an automated upload of log files, core files, and other

  diagnostic information stored in the storage controller and to remotely trigger an on-demand AutoSupport

  collection.

  Incorrect:

  Not B: The Hardware Universe (HWU) application is NetApp's system configuration solution. Not C:

  NetApp Synergy is a complete design, deployment and documentation tool. The program enables you to

  build a very accurate, detailed model of a NetApp storage system. You can represent most aspects of a

  storage deployment including the hardware configuration and the sizing of all storage containers, including

  aggregates, volumes, qtrees and LUNs.
