NS0-157 · Question #167
Which two configurations are supported in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 and later? (Choose two)
The correct answer is A. An 8-node cluster serving FCoE, ISCSI, CIFS, and NFS B. A single-node cluster serving FC, FCoE, ISCSI and SMB 3.0. Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 supports multi-protocol clusters up to 8 nodes and single-node clusters with SAN and NAS protocols, but does not support SAN on Infinite Volumes or 16-node clusters.
Question

Why each option
Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 supports multi-protocol clusters up to 8 nodes and single-node clusters with SAN and NAS protocols, but does not support SAN on Infinite Volumes or 16-node clusters.
An 8-node cluster serving FCoE, iSCSI, CIFS, and NFS is a supported configuration in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2, which allows mixed SAN and NAS protocols across clusters of up to 8 nodes.
A single-node cluster serving FC, FCoE, iSCSI, and SMB 3.0 is also a supported configuration, as cDOT 8.2 introduced SMB 3.0 support and single-node clusters are valid deployment options.
Infinite Volumes in clustered Data ONTAP support only NAS protocols (NFS and CIFS/SMB); iSCSI and other SAN protocols are not supported on Infinite Volumes.
Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 supported a maximum of 8 nodes per cluster, not 16; a 16-node cluster was not a valid configuration for that release.
