Eliminate Risk of Failure with NetApp NS0-093 Exam Dumps

FRUs on FAS9000 Supporting Replacement Without Takeover:

A (I/O Module): I/O modules can be replaced hot (without takeover) to maintain system uptime during hardware servicing.

D (NVRAM Module): NVRAM modules on FAS9000 can also be replaced without a node takeover, ensuring data integrity during replacement.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B (DCPM Module): The DCPM (Data Center Power Management) module is not hot-swappable and requires a node takeover.

C (Caching Module): The caching module is integrated and typically requires a node takeover or power-down for replacement.

NetApp Reference Documentation:

Refer to the 'NetApp FAS9000 Hardware Service Guide' for supported FRU replacement procedures and operational constraints.

A . NVMEM battery

Explanation: The NVMEM (Non-Volatile Memory) battery is a critical component for retaining data in case of a power failure. It is classified as a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) in an AFF A220 system.

Replacement Notes:

Replacement can be performed by field engineers.

The system will typically alert you when the battery requires replacement.

B . mSATA boot device

Explanation: The mSATA (mini-SATA) boot device contains the ONTAP operating system and is also a FRU in the AFF A220. It is critical for the system's boot process and can be replaced if it becomes faulty.

Replacement Notes:

Boot devices are easily replaceable while ensuring ONTAP is reinstalled on the new device.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

C . NVMe Flash Cache feature:

Incorrect. NVMe Flash Cache is not a physical FRU but a feature for accelerating read performance. It is implemented via software and NVMe-based SSDs, which are not specifically field replaceable in AFF A220.

D . Chassis fan:

Incorrect. The AFF A220 does not classify chassis fans as FRUs. These are usually part of the cooling system, but their replacement may require system shutdown or is integrated into the design.

Reverting to a previous ONTAP version requires careful preparation because ONTAP upgrades often introduce irreversible changes. To successfully revert, the following actions are needed:

C . Reinstall your boot media and install ONTAP 9.5 software

Explanation: You need to reinstall the older version of ONTAP (9.5) on the boot media because the current version (9.7) has been installed as part of the upgrade. The reinstallation ensures that the system boots with ONTAP 9.5.

Steps:

Boot the node into maintenance mode.

Perform the reinstallation using the appropriate ONTAP 9.5 image.

D . Wipe your config and restore from backup

Explanation: A revert requires wiping the configuration because ONTAP upgrades may have made changes to the cluster configuration or WAFL metadata. Restoring the configuration from a backup ensures consistency with the older ONTAP version.

Steps:

Back up the current cluster configuration before proceeding.

Use the restored backup after the revert is complete to reconfigure the system.

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

A . Revert from ONTAP 9.7 software to ONTAP 9.6 software and then to ONTAP 9.5 software:

Incorrect. ONTAP reverts must directly target the desired version. You cannot perform multi-step reverts.

B . Delete all Snapshot copies from the past two days:

Incorrect. Deleting Snapshot copies is not a prerequisite for reverting ONTAP. While older Snapshot copies might not be compatible with the reverted version, they do not need to be deleted before the revert.

NetApp Knowledge Base: Steps for reinstallation and configuration restoration during a revert.

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.

NetApp Reference Documentation:

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

To confirm the successful completion of an ONTAP upgrade, the cluster image show-update-progress command provides the necessary details.

Key Command:

Command:

cluster image show-update-progress

Displays the status of the cluster upgrade, including which nodes have successfully upgraded and whether the process has completed.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A . system controller sp upgrade show:

This command displays information about SP (Service Processor) firmware upgrades, not ONTAP upgrades.

C . job show --jobtype upgrade:

While this command shows upgrade jobs, it does not confirm the completion of the cluster-wide ONTAP upgrade.

D . system node upgrade-revert upgrade-task --node <nodename> --version <ontap Version>:

This command reverts an upgrade task, not confirms completion.

NetApp 'ONTAP Upgrade Guide' specifies the cluster image show-update-progress command as the primary method to verify upgrade completion.
