Why each option
Tests knowledge of features introduced specifically in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2, requiring candidates to distinguish new capabilities from pre-existing ones.
SnapVault software for clusters was introduced in Data ONTAP 8.2, extending disk-to-disk backup and replication functionality to the clustered architecture for the first time - previously SnapVault was only available in 7-Mode. This allowed clustered ONTAP deployments to leverage SnapVault protection policies natively.
Three-node clusters were not a new feature introduced in 8.2; multi-node cluster configurations existed in prior releases, and a three-node cluster was not a distinct or newly supported topology added in this version.
Eight-node scalable SAN clusters were introduced in 8.2, expanding the maximum supported cluster size for block-level SAN workloads and enabling greater scale-out capacity for enterprise storage environments.
Switchless two-node clusters, allowing direct node-to-node cluster interconnect without a dedicated switch, were introduced in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 to reduce hardware cost and deployment complexity for smaller two-node configurations.
