NetApp Exam NS0-521 Topic 7 Question 10 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-521 exam

Question #: 10
Topic #: 7

An administrator configured an SVM with LUNs with two WWPNs per node. The administrator accidentally created a WWPN on node1 that needs to move to node2. The SAN hosts use ALUA.

Based on this requirement, what must be taken offline to correct the situation?

ALIF

BLUN

CSVM

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

To move a WWPN from node1 to node2 in a NetApp ONTAP SAN environment where ALUA is used, you must take the Logical Interface (LIF) offline. Modifying LIFs involves changing their assignment between nodes, which requires them to be temporarily offline. This ensures that the path states are correctly updated without causing disruption to the SAN hosts.

B) LUN is the way to go. Hopefully, the admin doesn't mix up the WWPN again - that would be a real clown show!

But wouldn't taking the SVM offline also be a possible solution to correct the situation?

I agree with Nan, moving the WWPN to node2 would require taking the LUN offline.

I'll go with B) LUN as well. Can't believe the admin made that mistake, but at least it's an easy fix.

Agreed, the LUN is the one that needs to be moved to node2.

I think we need to take the LUN offline to correct the situation.

I think the correct answer is B) LUN. We need to take the affected LUN offline to correct the WWPN issue without disrupting the entire SVM or other volumes.
