NS0-157 · Question #393
Your company just purchased four additional FAS8060 nodes to add to an existing 12-node NAS cluster made up of FAS6290s. After joining the four new nodes, how many more nodes are allowed before you…
The correct answer is A. 8. A mixed FAS6290/FAS8060 cluster supports a maximum of 24 nodes; with 16 nodes already present (12 original + 4 new), exactly 8 more are permitted.
Question
Your company just purchased four additional FAS8060 nodes to add to an existing 12-node NAS cluster made up of FAS6290s. After joining the four new nodes, how many more nodes are allowed before you reach the maximum supported configuration for a mixed FAS6290/8060 cluster?

Why each option
A mixed FAS6290/FAS8060 cluster supports a maximum of 24 nodes; with 16 nodes already present (12 original + 4 new), exactly 8 more are permitted.
NetApp clustered ONTAP supports a maximum of 24 nodes in a mixed FAS6290/FAS8060 cluster. The cluster currently has 12 FAS6290 nodes plus 4 newly added FAS8060 nodes, totaling 16 nodes. Subtracting 16 from the 24-node platform maximum leaves exactly 8 additional nodes allowed.
2 would only be correct if the supported maximum for this mixed cluster were 18 nodes, which does not match the NetApp-documented limit.
4 would only be correct if the supported maximum were 20 nodes, which is not the case for a mixed FAS6290/FAS8060 configuration.
16 additional nodes would bring the total to 32, far exceeding the 24-node maximum supported for this mixed cluster.
