NS0-701 case studies

NS0-701 · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The NetApp Certified Data Administrator, ONTAP credential (exam code NS0-701) is NetApp's associate-level certification for storage administrators who run day-to-day operations on ONTAP clusters. It suits administrators moving from legacy storage or general infrastructure work into ONTAP, as well as existing admins who want a formal marker of competence. The NS0-701 case studies are 5 cases and about 3,000 words.

NFS LIF Does Not Fail Over After Broadcast Domain Split

A four-node AFF A250 cluster runs ONTAP 9.14 and hosts 12 SVMs in the default IPspace. Finance requires isolation, so you create IPspace ips fin, SVM svm fin, subnet 10.20.10.0/24 and broadcast domain bd fin.

SnapMirror Lag Exceeds RPO on a Daily Snapshot Policy

Cluster PROD (ONTAP 9.12.1) protects the 4 TB volume vol ora to cluster DR with a SnapMirror asynchronous relationship using the default Asynchronous (MirrorLatest) policy. vol ora uses a custom Snapshot policy named daily only: one Snapshot copy at 00:00 with retention of 7.

LDAP StartTLS Certificate Rotation and Multi-Admin Verification Blocking Automation

A six-SVM ONTAP 9.13.1 cluster serves NFSv4.1 with Kerberos (krb5p) and SMB. UNIX identities come from AD-integrated LDAP (RFC 2307); the SVM's LDAP client configuration uses StartTLS and a locally installed server-ca certificate.

Write Latency from Locked SnapMirror Copies on a Nearly Full Aggregate

A two-node FAS2750 cluster runs ONTAP 9.10.1. Aggregate aggr1 (24 x 1.8 TB NL-SAS, RAID-DP) hosts 40 volumes and is 94% full.

Cloud Backup Eligibility and an Automated ONTAP Upgrade in a Three-Hour Window

A two-node ONTAP 9.9.1P4 cluster with 8 SVMs must reach 9.13.1 before quarter end for compliance. The team protects 30 volumes with BlueXP backup and recovery (Cloud Backup) to object storage, but the new 2 TB legal volume vol legal shows as not eligible in the BlueXP interface.
