NetApp Exam NS0-180 Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-180 exam

Question #: 4
Topic #: 1

You are installing two disk shelves on an existing clustered Data ONTAP system. One shelf is a DS2246 that matches the other shelves in a stack. The other shelf is also a DS2246 but it contains all solid state disks. Both disk shelves must be added to the same stack.

How would you install the disk shelves?

AInstall the solid state disks first, then the DS2246 shelf so that the solid state disks are as close to the top of the stack as possible.

BInstall the spinning disk shelf first and put the solid state disks at the end of the stack.

CAdvise the customer that solid state disks cannot exist on the same stack as spinning disks.

DMove the disk drives around to create two shelves that are half solid state and half spinning drives.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

As SSDs are faster they should be put close to the top of the stack.

Incorrect: Not C: The DS4246 disk shelf only supports high-capacity disk configurations and 'Mixed Shelf' SSD configurations that combine SSDs with high-capacity disk drives. Not D: Place the SSD disk shelves in a separate stack other then the disk shelves containing SAS disks. Because the potential high IOPS, thus high SAS I/O bandwidth utilization, we don't want to be limited by our backend SAS I/O. As NetApp states; ''Full SSD shelves (24 SSDs) are best placed in their own stack''.
