A customer wants to deploy NVMe/FC along with an existing FC SAN fabric using ONTAP 9.8. In this scenario, which two actions are correct? (choose two)

The correct answer is A. Use existing zoning on fabric switches B. Enable NVMe/FC on the existing FC SVM. Because NVMe/FC simply swaps command sets from SCSI to NVMe, it is an easy transition to make. NVMe/FC uses the same FC transport and therefore the same hardware from the host, through the switch and all the way to the NVMe/FC target port on the storage array. Thus, NVMe/FC…

Explanation

Because NVMe/FC simply swaps command sets from SCSI to NVMe, it is an easy transition to make. NVMe/FC uses the same FC transport and therefore the same hardware from the host, through the switch and all the way to the NVMe/FC target port on the storage array. Thus, NVMe/FC implementations can use existing FC infrastructure, including HBAs, switches, zones, targets, and cabling.
