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

The security method that would be used to authenticate targets and initiators in an ISCSI environment is CHAP. CHAP stands for Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol, and it is a method that validates the identity of targets and initiators during the initial link. CHAP uses a shared secret (a password) that is exchanged between the target and the initiator in a challenge-response manner. CHAP can be used in both one-way and mutual modes, depending on whether both parties need to authenticate each other or not. The other options are not valid for this scenario because:

• NIS is a network information service that provides centralized management of user accounts and host names, but it does not provide authentication for ISCSI devices.
• LDAP is a protocol for accessing and managing directory services, such as user and group information, but it does not provide authentication for ISCSI devices.
• /etc/hosts is a file that maps host names to IP addresses, but it does not provide authentication for ISCSI devices. References :- How iSCSI authentication works, Securing iSCSI Devices, Configure iSCSI authentication

ONTAP System Manager is a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that enables you to manage and monitor your ONTAP cluster. You can use ONTAP System Manager to add protocol licenses to your cluster by following a simple and easy workflow. The other management tools are not designed for adding protocol licenses to an ONTAP cluster. NetApp Cloud Manager is a cloud-based service that helps you deploy and manage NetApp cloud data services. Active IQ Unified Manager is a software application that provides performance monitoring and health management for ONTAP clusters. Active IQ Config Advisor is a tool that scans and validates the configuration of NetApp storage systems and hosts. References :- Configure ONTAP on a new cluster with System Manager, ONTAP System Manager overview, NetApp Cloud Manager overview, Active IQ Unified Manager overview, Active IQ Config Advisor overview

The space allocation option is a LUN attribute that enables the host to communicate with the storage system about the blocks that are no longer in use by the host file system. When the space allocation option is enabled, the host sends SCSI UNMAP commands to the storage system when files are deleted on the disk. The storage system then reclaims the space from the thin-provisioned LUN and makes it available for other LUNs or volumes. This process is also known as space reclamation or hole punching. If the space allocation option is disabled, the host does not send SCSI UNMAP commands and the storage system does not reclaim the space from the thin-provisioned LUN, resulting in a discrepancy between the host and the storage system. References :- Space reclamation, Enable or disable the space allocation option for a LUN
