In Data ONTAP 8.1.1 Cluster-Mode, what is the maximum node size for SAN protocols? (Choose three)
The correct answer is D. 6 nodes E. 4 nodes F. 2 nodes. In Data ONTAP 8.1.1 Cluster-Mode, SAN protocol support was restricted to a maximum cluster size of 2, 4, or 6 nodes, reflecting early-stage clustered SAN maturity at that release.

Why each option
In Data ONTAP 8.1.1 Cluster-Mode, SAN protocol support was restricted to a maximum cluster size of 2, 4, or 6 nodes, reflecting early-stage clustered SAN maturity at that release.
24 nodes was not a supported maximum cluster size for SAN protocols in Data ONTAP 8.1.1 Cluster-Mode - this greatly exceeds the documented limit.
12 nodes exceeded the maximum supported cluster size for SAN protocols in Data ONTAP 8.1.1 Cluster-Mode.
8 nodes was not a listed valid maximum node count for SAN protocol support in Data ONTAP 8.1.1 Cluster-Mode.
In Data ONTAP 8.1.1 Cluster-Mode, the maximum supported cluster sizes for SAN protocols (FC and iSCSI) were 2, 4, and 6 nodes, as documented in the NetApp SAN configuration guide for that release. These limits were substantially smaller than NAS cluster sizes because clustered SAN support was still maturing. Each value represents a distinct supported maximum depending on the specific protocol and platform combination.
