NS0-093 Netapp Exam Lab Questions

When a node fails to boot and loads the previous version of ONTAP, it usually indicates that the primary boot location is incorrect. To resolve this:

Enter the LOADER Prompt:

Interrupt the boot process to access the LOADER prompt.

Set the Primary Kernel URL:

Use the following command:

Steps to Boot the Correct ONTAP Version:setenv GX_PRIMARY_KERNEL_URL

Boot the Node:

Run the boot command to load the correct version.

B. From the loader prompt of nodeA1, run boot_backup:

Booting the backup image may result in an outdated version of ONTAP, not the desired version.

C. From the clustershell of the partner, run system node image modify:

Modifications to the ONTAP image must be done from the LOADER prompt, not the clustershell.

D. From the clustershell of nodeA1, run system node image modify:

NodeA1 cannot load ONTAP, so this command cannot be run.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

"ONTAP System Boot Guide" explains how to resolve boot issues using the LOADER prompt.

NetApp documentation on environment variables includes the use of GX_PRIMARY_KERNEL_URL.

 Possible Causes for "No Disks" Error:

A (Incorrect SAS Cabling): If the SAS cables are incorrectly reconnected or swapped after replacing the boot device, the disks may not be detected because the physical connection to the shelves is compromised. Verifying and reseating the SAS cables is essential.

C (Lower ONTAP Version): If the node boots into an ONTAP version that is lower than the version previously used, it might not recognize the RAID labels or disk metadata created by the higher ONTAP version.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B (Disks Marked as Failed): Disks that are marked as failed would still be visible in the system, though unusable.

D (Interconnect Down): An interconnect failure affects HA functionality but does not prevent a node from detecting its own disks.

Refer to the "ONTAP Boot Recovery Guide" and "SAS Cabling Guide" for steps to resolve disk detection issu
