Why each option
A NetApp ONTAP NAS cluster supports a maximum of 24 nodes in a single cluster.
A single-node cluster is a valid but minimal deployment, not the maximum supported node count.
Two nodes represent a basic HA pair, which is the minimum building block for redundancy, not the upper limit.
Four nodes is well below the certified maximum of 24 nodes.
Eight nodes is below the supported maximum of 24 nodes.
Sixteen nodes is below the supported maximum of 24 nodes.
NetApp ONTAP is certified to support up to 24 nodes in a single cluster for NAS deployments. This is the validated maximum for standard FAS and AFF hardware running ONTAP in a NAS configuration, and exceeding this limit is not supported.
Thirty-two nodes exceeds the certified maximum of 24 nodes and is not a supported configuration.
