Deployment · Customer infrastructure dependencies
When planning the deployment of Google Cloud NetApp Volumes for a customer's environment, specific infrastructure dependencies must be met before provisioning can succeed. Which TWO of the following are prerequisites for deploying Google Cloud NetApp Volumes? (Select TWO)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answers: C, E
Google Cloud NetApp Volumes requires a private services access connection (VPC peering) to the Google-managed NetApp tenant network to securely deliver storage to your VPC.
Before you can provision volumes, the NetApp API (netapp.googleapis.com) must be explicitly enabled within the specific Google Cloud Project where the resources will reside.

Deployment · Storage Systems and services in Hybrid Cloud Environments
A customer wants to deploy a file storage solution in AWS that runs ONTAP, but they do not want to manage the underlying virtual machines, operating system updates, or infrastructure scaling. Which NetApp service is the optimal choice for this requirement?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP is a fully managed AWS service. AWS handles the provisioning, patching, and scaling of the underlying infrastructure, making it the ideal choice for customers who want ONTAP capabilities without the operational overhead of managing VMs, which is required with Cloud Volumes ONTAP (CVO).

Deployment · Customer infrastructure dependencies
When deploying a BlueXP Connector within an on-premises network to manage hybrid cloud resources, the network administrator must allow specific outbound internet access. Which protocol and port are mandatory for the Connector to communicate with the BlueXP SaaS platform?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The BlueXP Connector requires outbound internet access via HTTPS on TCP port 443 to communicate with the BlueXP SaaS infrastructure, authenticate users, and download necessary software updates. Without this access, the Connector cannot function or manage resources.
- Question 4Intermediate
Deployment · Multi-cloud environments
During the implementation of Azure NetApp Files (ANF), an engineer is preparing the virtual network (VNet). To successfully provision an ANF volume, the target subnet requires a specific configuration to allow the service to inject its network interfaces. What must be configured on the subnet?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Azure NetApp Files requires a dedicated subnet within the VNet. This subnet must be explicitly delegated to the 'Microsoft.NetApp/volumes' service. Delegation allows the ANF service to securely establish its network interfaces and IP addresses directly within the customer's VNet.
- Question 5Intermediate
Deployment · NetApp Hybrid Cloud Solutions across multiple locations
A deployment team is configuring a Cloud Volumes ONTAP HA pair in multiple AWS Availability Zones. They need to ensure that clients outside the VPC can access the data, which requires the use of floating IP addresses. Which AWS networking component must be configured to route traffic to these floating IPs?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In a multi-AZ CVO HA deployment in AWS, floating IP addresses are used to seamlessly transition client connections during a failover. Because these IPs exist outside the CIDR block of the VPC, an AWS Transit Gateway (or specific VPC routing table modifications) is required to route traffic from outside the VPC to the active node holding the floating IPs.
- Question 6Beginner
Data Protection · Configure SnapMirror between environments
True or False: Before creating a SnapMirror relationship between two distinct Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs) on different clusters, the clusters must be peered, but SVM peering is optional and automatically configured during the SnapMirror initialization.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
This statement is False. For SnapMirror to function between two different SVMs across different clusters, both cluster peering AND explicitly configured SVM peering are strict prerequisites. SVM peering is not optional and is not automatically configured by the SnapMirror initialization process.
