The correct answer is A. The SAN LIFs on cl1-01 go offline. B. The NAS LIFs on cl1-01 automatically migrate to cl1-02. During a storage failover takeover in a NetApp cluster, NAS data LIFs automatically migrate to the healthy partner node to maintain service continuity, while SAN data LIFs on the failing node go offline.
Question
Click the exhibit button. You have a 2-node cluster named cl1 that has separate LIFs on each node for both SAN and NAS traffic. A storage failover takeover process is initiated as shown in the exhibit. In this scenario, which two statements about the takeover process are true? (Choose two.)
Options
- AThe SAN LIFs on cl1-01 go offline.
- BThe NAS LIFs on cl1-01 automatically migrate to cl1-02.
- CThe NAS LIFs on cl1-01 go offline.
- DThe SAN LIFs on cl1-01 automatically migrate to cl1-02.

Why each option
During a storage failover takeover in a NetApp cluster, NAS data LIFs automatically migrate to the healthy partner node to maintain service continuity, while SAN data LIFs on the failing node go offline.
In a NetApp storage failover, SAN LIFs (for Fibre Channel or iSCSI) on the failing node go offline because they are typically tied to specific physical ports and do not migrate across nodes.
During a NetApp storage failover, NAS data LIFs (for NFS or SMB) are designed to automatically migrate to the healthy partner node, ensuring continuous client access to data without disruption.
NAS LIFs are configured to migrate during a takeover to ensure continuous data access, rather than going offline.
SAN LIFs do not migrate to the partner node; they go offline on the failed node.
