NS0-162 Exam Dumps : NetApp Certified Data Administrator (ONTAP)

 According to the NetApp best practices, flow control should be disabled on data network ports and cluster network ports using 10GbE Ethernet. This is because flow control can cause excessive pause frames, xon/xoff frames, or packets being re-queued, which can affect the network performance and TCP throughput. Flow control works at the physical link layer and does not consider the upper level protocols. Therefore, it is recommended to disable flow control end-to-end on both data and cluster network ports for optimal performance. References :- How to modify flow control on cluster port in ONTAP, What are the flow control best practices for Ethernet?, Configure your network for best performance

The Active IQ Web site is a tool that provides insights and recommendations for your NetApp systems based on data collected from AutoSupport. You can use the Active IQ Web site to accomplish the task of locating empty SAS ports remotely by accessing the Inventory page and selecting the HA pair. You can then view the details of each node and see the port utilization and availability for each SAS port. The other tools are not suitable for this task because they do not provide the specific information about the SAS ports of your HA pair. ONTAP System Manager is a web-based interface for managing ONTAP clusters, but it does not show the port utilization and availability for SAS ports. Hardware Universe is a tool that provides information about the compatibility and specifications of NetApp hardware products, but it does not show the port utilization and availability for SAS ports. Interoperability Matrix Tool is a tool that provides information about the supported configurations and software versions for NetApp products, but it does not show the port utilization and availability for SAS ports. References :- Active IQ Web - NetApp, Active IQ Inventory - NetApp, Active IQ Documentation - NetApp

 NetApp ONTAP Select is a software-only version of ONTAP that can run on commodity servers with direct-attached storage. It supports both block and file protocols, including NFS, NVMe, and CIFS. SCSI and FCP are not supported by ONTAP Select. References :- ONTAP Select overview, Client protocols, Software-Defined Storage with ONTAP Select
