You want configure namespaces to support NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe/FC) using ONTAP 9.8. Which action will accomplish this task?

The correct answer is D. Configure a LIF for the NVMe protocol. Although ONTAP uses a NVMe/FC LIF that is separate from the FCP LIFs, both LIFs can be hosted on the same physical HBA port at both the host initiator and storage target. NVMe/FC and FCP can share the same physical infrastructure concurrently, so the same physical port, cable…

Explanation

Although ONTAP uses a NVMe/FC LIF that is separate from the FCP LIFs, both LIFs can be hosted on the same physical HBA port at both the host initiator and storage target. NVMe/FC and FCP can share the same physical infrastructure concurrently, so the same physical port, cable, switch port, and target port can simultaneously host and transmit both FCP and NVMe/FC frames NVMe can use the same FC infraestructure, but it needs to create a separate NVMe LIF to work.
