NS0-604 Exam Dumps - Netapp NCHC Architect Questions and Answers

For a one-time, non-NetApp file migration toAmazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP, especially with millions of files,XCPis the most suitable tool. XCP (NetApp's eXtensible Copy Program) is optimized for high-performance file migrations and can handle large-scale migrations efficiently. Additionally, it provides file analytics, which can help the company gain better insights into the data being migrated.

BlueXP copy & sync (A)andBlueXP replication (B)are not designed for large-scale one-time migrations like XCP, andBlueXP volume caching (D)is not relevant for migrations or analytics.

To analyze IOPS, throughput, latency, and capacity utilization of a Cloud Volumes ONTAP HA cluster in Google Cloud, the two BlueXP solutions that provide these metrics are:

BlueXP Digital Advisor (D): This tool provides detailed insights into system performance, including IOPS, throughput, latency, and capacity utilization. It is designed to give administrators a comprehensive view of their cloud-based storage environments to help optimize performance.

BlueXP Tiering (B): While primarily used for data tiering, BlueXP Tiering also offers metrics related to capacity utilization and performance. It helps monitor storage usage and can provide insights into how data tiering affects system performance.

Other options likeBlueXP Classification (A)focus more on data governance and classification, whileBlueXP Edge Caching (C)is designed for optimizing data access at edge locations and doesn’t provide the full suite of performance metrics needed for detailed analysis.

For anapplication-aware data management solution for Kubernetes clustersthat can be deployed on-premises on the customer's own hardware, the following two solutions should be deployed:

NetApp ONTAP AFF (C): ONTAP AFF systems provide enterprise-grade storage with Kubernetes integration, allowing the customer to manage Kubernetes workloads with advanced data management features like snapshots and replication.

NetApp Astra Control Center (D): Astra Control Center is designed for on-premises environments and provides application-aware data management for Kubernetes clusters. It helps with backup, restore, and migration for containerized applications on the customer’s infrastructure.

Azure NetApp Files (A)andAstra Control Service (B)are cloud-based solutions and are not designed for on-premises deployments.

To accommodate the 800 new temporary users in an Azure Virtual Desktop environment usingAzure NetApp Files, the company should:

Move existing user-profile volumes from the Premium service level to the Ultra service level (B): The Ultra service level provides higher throughput and IOPS, which will support the increased workload from the additional 800 users, ensuring better performance.

Increase the volume quota size on existing user-profile volumes (C): Expanding the volume quota will ensure that there is enough capacity to store the profiles of the additional users, preventing performance issues due to storage capacity limits.

Global File Cache integration (A)andcross-region replication (D)are not necessary for this specific requirement of supporting more users in the same region.

In a Multi-AZ (Availability Zone) setup for NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP in AWS, ensuring nondisruptive failover between nodes is critical for high availability. "Floating IPs" are required for seamless failover between nodes in such a configuration.

Floating IPs allow the primary node to automatically transfer its IP address to the secondary node during a failover event, ensuring that clients can continue to access the service without needing to reconfigure anything. This mechanism enables clients to access the same IP regardless of which node in the cluster is actively serving requests, thus maintaining nondisruptive operations.

Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) facilitate networking in AWS but do not inherently handle IP floating between nodes for failover. Security groups and Intercluster UFs manage security and inter-node communication, respectively, but do not address the failover requirements. Floating IPs are explicitly designed to enable failover in high-availability cloud storage environments like NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP.

Thus, "floating IPs" are the required network construct that allows for nondisruptive failover between nodes in a multi-AZ setup, ensuring continuous service availability even in the event of an outage in one availability zone.

TheNotification Centerwithin NetApp BlueXP is the primary tool used to monitor operations and activities performed by the platform. It provides real-time updates and alerts about tasks, performance issues, and general operational statuses. This central hub helps administrators track the ongoing processes and health of the system, including tasks like data replication, backups, and other key operational events.

WhileNetApp Cloud Insights (A)provides infrastructure monitoring and analytics, it is not specifically focused on the operational monitoring of NetApp BlueXP activities.NetApp Active IQ Unified Manager (B)focuses more on managing ONTAP environments but not directly on BlueXP operations.NetApp BlueXP digital advisor (D)offers recommendations and insights, but it is not primarily a monitoring tool.

===================

NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAPsupportsNetApp Volume Encryption (NVE)with the cloud provider's key vault for encryption key management. NVE provides encryption at the volume level and integrateswith external key management systems, such as AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and Google Cloud KMS, making it the appropriate encryption solution for cloud deployments.

NetApp Aggregate Encryption (NAE) (C)is used for on-premises environments.Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) (A)is commonly used for database encryption, andOnboard Key Manager (OKM) (B)is a different key management solution not tied to cloud key vaults.

In this scenario, the customer has 100TB of used capacity on an on-premises AFF volume, and 80% of the data is cold and tiered to Amazon S3 usingBlueXP tiering. After tiering, 80TB of cold data is tiered to Amazon S3, leaving 20TB of hot data on the AFF system. WhenBlueXP backup and recoveryperforms the first full backup, it backs up all the data (100TB). Since the backup is a full copy and independent of the tiering process, the total ingress traffic into AWS is80TB (tiered data) + 100TB (full backup), resulting in180TBof total ingress.

When deploying NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP on Amazon Web Services (AWS), for applications that uselarge sequential I/O, the key workload characteristic used for sizing Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) isMBps (megabytes per second). Large sequential I/O workloads, such as video streaming or backup operations, typically require high throughput rather than high IOPS (input/output operations per second).

Capacity (A)andIOPS (B)are important for other types of workloads, such as databases, whileCPU (C)is related to processing power but not specific to large sequential I/O. For these workloads, throughput, measured in MBps, is the critical sizing metric.
