The point-to-point topology is the simplest and most common way to connect a single host to a storage system using FC. It allows direct communication between two devices without any intermediate devices. The UTA2 ports on the AFF A220 cluster support the point-to-point topology when configured as FC ports. Therefore, to connect a single Windows host directly to the storage using FC, you need to use the point-to-point topology on all ports and make sure that the host and the storage have compatible FC settings, such as speed, WWPN, and zoning. The other options are not correct because they involve additional devices or topologies that are not necessary or supported for this scenario. References :- Quick guide - AFF A220, Detailed guide - AFF A220, ONTAP 9 SAN Configuration Guide

The auto-revert option determines whether a LIF automatically reverts to its home port after a failover event. If this option is set to true, the LIF will revert to its home port when it becomes available. If this option is set to false, the LIF will remain on the failover port until manually reverted. In this scenario, the cluster LIFs are not on their home ports after an ONTAP upgrade, which might have triggered a failover event. Therefore, setting the auto-revert option to true would change this outcome and ensure that the LIFs return to their home ports after the upgrade. References :- network interface modify, Verify all LIFS are on home ports after ONTAP upgrade

To cache on-premises ONTAP volumes into the cloud with Cloud Volumes ONTAP, you need to use the FlexCache feature, which creates a writable, persistent cache of a data volume that is consistent and coherent with its original data set and stored in a remote location. FlexCache supports both SMB and NFS protocols, which are the traditional file access protocols for Windows and UNIX/Linux systems respectively. You can control file access using UNIX-style permissions, NTFS-style permissions, or a mix of both. Clients can access the same files using both SMB and NFS protocols123.

• NVMe and iSCSI are not supported by FlexCache, as they are block protocols that run on standard Ethernet networks. FlexCache is a file-based solution that works with file protocols only12. References :- Client protocols | NetApp Documentation, Client protocols - NetApp, Cloud Volumes ONTAP for AWS: Storage for the Cloud Era.
