NS0-158 · Question #93
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. After adding four FAS8060 nodes to a 12-node FAS6290 cluster, resulting in 16 nodes, eight more nodes are permitted before reaching the maximum supported 24-node configuration for a mixed cluster.

Why each option
After adding four FAS8060 nodes to a 12-node FAS6290 cluster, resulting in 16 nodes, eight more nodes are permitted before reaching the maximum supported 24-node configuration for a mixed cluster.
A mixed cluster consisting of FAS6290 and FAS8060 nodes can support a maximum of 24 nodes in ONTAP; therefore, 24 minus the current 16 nodes (12 FAS6290 + 4 FAS8060) leaves 8 nodes remaining.
2 is incorrect as the maximum cluster size for these platforms is higher than 18 nodes.
4 is incorrect as it implies a maximum cluster size of 20 nodes, which is not accurate for these FAS series in ONTAP.
16 is incorrect as this would imply a current configuration of 0 nodes or a maximum of 32 nodes, neither of which is consistent with the question or platform limits.
