Pass the Netapp NCSIE ONTAP NS0-185 Questions and answers with Dumpstech

Physical installation of an AFF system requires specific tools. APhillips #2 screwdriveris required for securing rails and components. Alaptop computeris needed for console access, initial configuration, and validation. Acable management trayis necessary to properly route and secure cables, ensuring airflow and serviceability.

Additional network cables and slide rail kits are equipment components, not tools.

Therefore, the correct answers areB, C, and E.

Secure multitenancy in ONTAP requires complete separation of network traffic, routing tables, and IP addressing.IPspacesprovide this level of isolation by creating independent network stacks within a single ONTAP cluster.

Failover groups, VLANs, and broadcast domains organize network paths but do not isolate routing domains. Only IPspaces ensure tenants cannot access each other’s network traffic.

Thus,IPspacesenable secure multitenancy.

After installing a NetApp storage system, it is critical to validate the environment for configuration and cabling errors.Config Advisoris the NetApp-recommended tool specifically designed for this purpose.

Config Advisor performs automated checks against NetApp-supported configuration rules, including hardware cabling, HA setup, disk ownership, shelf connectivity, network configuration, and firmware compatibility. It identifies misconfigurations that could lead to operational issues if left unresolved.

FilerView and BNA are legacy or unrelated tools, and Synergy is not used for ONTAP installation validation.

Therefore, the correct answer isD (Config Advisor).

A 2-node switchless cluster is limited to two nodes and uses direct connections for cluster LIFs. Before adding additional nodes, ONTAP requires converting the environment into aswitched cluster.

This conversion involves installing cluster interconnect switches andmigrating the cluster LIFsfrom direct connections to the new cluster interconnect switches. Data LIFs are not involved in cluster communication and do not need migration for cluster expansion.

Direct connect cannot support more than two nodes, and converting to a single-node cluster is invalid.

Therefore, the correct answer isC.

After a support case has been created, NetApp’s support workflow requires thatcase visibility and status trackingbe performed through the NetApp Support site using thecustomer’s credentials, not partner credentials. Customer credentials ensure proper access to systems registered under the customer’s support account, including entitlement visibility, serial numbers, and case ownership. Partner credentials may not have permission to view customer-owned cases unless explicitly granted.

Once logged in, theMy Casessection of the support site provides a centralized dashboard showing all active and historical cases associated with the customer’s company. From this view, cases are listed with details such as case number, product, symptom, status, and last updated timestamp. Selecting the specific case number (in this scenario,41747189) opens the detailed case view, where the customer can monitor progress, read engineer updates, upload logs, and add comments.

The option “Create a Case” is used only when opening anewcase and does not allow viewing the status of an existing case. Therefore, it does not satisfy the requirement. Using partner credentials is also incorrect because case tracking is intended to be performed by the customer organization that owns the system and support entitlement.

Thus, the correct steps are tolog in using customer credentialsandopen My Cases and select the existing case number.

The exhibit represents aMetroCluster IPconfiguration, which uses Ethernet switches to provide redundant connectivity between sites. In this architecture, the Ethernet switches are responsible for transportingNVRAM replication traffic using iWARP (RDMA over TCP/IP). This enables synchronous replication of write logs between HA partners across sites.

Additionally, the switches supportSyncMirror replication, which maintains mirrored aggregates across sites to provide continuous data availability in the event of a site failure.

SnapMirror Synchronous and cluster management traffic do not use these switches directly in this configuration. Therefore, the correct answers areC and D.

Node management LIFs are used to manage individual nodes within an ONTAP cluster. These LIFs are designed to remain on the node they manage and are not intended to move during failover events.

By default, a node management LIF uses thelocal-onlyfailover policy. This ensures that the LIF remains bound to ports on the same node and does not migrate to other nodes. This behavior preserves administrative clarity and prevents confusion when accessing node-specific management interfaces.

Other failover policies, such as broadcast-domain-wide or sfo-partner-only, are used for data or cluster management LIFs where mobility is required for availability. System-defined is not a failover policy type.

Therefore, the correct answer isC (local-only).

AFF A250 systems are not supported on CN1610 cluster switches. Therefore, they cannot be added to an existing cluster that uses those switches. Valid options are to either create a new switched cluster using the CN1610 switches (if supported for that configuration) or deploy the AFF A250 as a switchless 2-node cluster.
