NetApp NS0-604 Hybrid Cloud - Architect Exam Practice Test

Answer : B, D

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 like BlueXP Classification (A) focus more on data governance and classification, while BlueXP 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.

Answer : C

In NetApp BlueXP, the Account Administrator has the authority to customize alerts and notification settings. The Account Administrator role is responsible for managing the overall configuration of the BlueXP environment, including setting up and modifying alerts to monitor system health and performance, ensuring that the appropriate notifications are sent when issues arise.

Other roles like Tenant Administrator (A), Connector Administrator (B), and Workspace Administrator (D) have more limited scopes of control, and they are not responsible for managing global alert and notification settings.

Answer : A, C

For a NetApp BlueXP Connector deployed in Restricted Mode, the following two network requirements must be met:

Outbound connectivity to the BlueXP SaaS layer (A): Even in Restricted Mode, the BlueXP Connector needs outbound internet access to communicate with the BlueXP SaaS layer for updates, telemetry, and licensing information.

Connectivity to resources in your target networks (C): The BlueXP Connector must have network access to the resources (e.g., NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP instances or other managed systems) that it is supposed to manage or monitor.

Inbound connectivity (B) from the BlueXP SaaS layer is not required in Restricted Mode, as the mode is designed to minimize external access. User access (D) to the BlueXP SaaS layer is a user interface consideration but not a network requirement for the connector itself.

Answer : D

When managing NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP in Azure, administrators should log into NetApp BlueXP (formerly Cloud Manager) to add disks to the aggregate. BlueXP provides a centralized management interface that allows administrators to add storage and manage resources easily. The process for expanding capacity in a Cloud Volumes ONTAP HA pair is best performed via BlueXP, which simplifies the disk addition process and ensures proper configuration within the HA architecture.

Using SSH (A or B) is not the standard method for managing Cloud Volumes ONTAP resources. Azure Blob containers (C) are used for object storage and are not relevant for adding disks to Cloud Volumes ONTAP aggregates.

Answer : A

The appropriate NetApp feature to use in this scenario is a Cloud Storage Pool. A Cloud Storage Pool in NetApp StorageGRID allows the administrator to tier data to public clouds like Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive. This feature lets the administrator keep local replicated copies for performance, geo-dispersed erasure-coded copies for durability, and tier cold or backup data to Glacier for long-term retention and cost savings.

FabricPool (B) and Flash Pool (C) are not relevant to S3 data tiering and bucket replication in StorageGRID. Dynamic Disk Pool (D) is more applicable to disk management in traditional storage arrays, not for managing S3 bucket replicas across different storage locations.

Answer : A, C

NetApp Keystone Storage as a Service (STaaS) offers various service levels depending on performance and latency requirements. For workloads that require less than 2ms latency, the two relevant service levels are:

Extreme (A): This service level is designed for the most latency-sensitive and high-performance workloads. It provides ultra-low latency (<2ms) and is ideal for applications that demand top-tier performance.

Premium (C): The Premium service level also supports low latency, typically less than 2ms, making it suitable for workloads with moderate to high performance requirements.

Standard (B) and Performance (D) service levels provide higher latency and are not suitable for workloads requiring less than 2ms latency.

Answer : A

NetApp AutoSupport requires outbound access to specific endpoints for delivering support data, and this communication occurs over HTTPS (port 443). The two provided NetApp AutoSupport URLs are accessed via secure HTTP (HTTPS), so the company must configure routing and firewall policies to allow outbound HTTPS traffic.

Blocking HTTPS traffic by default would prevent the AutoSupport service from functioning, which is critical for sending diagnostic information to NetApp support for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Options like NFS/SMB traffic (B), SSH/RDP traffic (C), and DNS traffic (D) are irrelevant in this context, as AutoSupport only requires secure web traffic via HTTPS.
