NetApp Exam NS0-593 Topic 8 Question 51 Discussion

Actual exam question for NetApp's NS0-593 exam

Question #: 51
Topic #: 8

A customer wants to connect a NetApp AFF A700 system to a 40GbE switch. The controllers have a 10/40G Ethernet card in slot 4 for this purpose. The link comes up fine on node 2, but it will not come up on node 1. You look at the AutoSupport data for the nodes in question and see the output shown in the exhibit.

What is the cause of the customer's problem?

AThe cable is plugged in upside down.

BThe incorrect cable is used.

CThe ports are configured for 4x10Gbit instead of 40Gbit.

DThe port has an incorrect SFP inserted.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

= The cause of the customer's problem is that the port has an incorrect SFP inserted.According to the AutoSupport data, the node 1 has a device type of XL710 BQ, which is a 40GbE adapter that requires a QSFP+ transceiver1.However, the part number of the adapter is 111-02590, which is a 10GbE adapter that requires a SFP+ transceiver2. This mismatch prevents the link from coming up on node 1.The customer should replace the adapter with the correct one or use a compatible transceiver for the existing adapter.Reference=1:NetApp Hardware Universe - X1144A2:NetApp Hardware Universe - X1147A

The customer should double-check the cable they're using. You can't just plug in any old thing and expect it to work on a 40GbE setup.

That could be the issue. Let's check the cable orientation.

Maybe the cable is plugged in upside down on node 1.

Haha, imagine if the customer tried to use a garden hose instead of a proper 40GbE cable. That would be a classic tech support moment!

I'm going with option D - the port has an incorrect SFP inserted. That's probably causing the connection issue on node 1.

The cable being plugged in upside down? Really? That's pretty amateur-level stuff. I doubt that's the problem.

Hmm, looks like the ports are configured for 4x10Gbit instead of 40Gbit. That's gotta be the issue here.

Maybe they just need to reconfigure the ports for 40Gbit.
