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

 You can use ONTAP System Manager or the command line interface to disable the unused Ethernet ports in an ONTAP 9.8 cluster. ONTAP System Manager is a web-based graphical user interface that enables you to manage storage systems, clusters, and resources. The command line interface is a text-based interface that enables you to perform administrative tasks using commands. Both methods allow you to modify the network port settings and remove the ports from the broadcast domain. Active IQ Config Advisor and Active IQ Unified Manager are not methods to disable the unused Ethernet ports, but tools to monitor and optimize the cluster performance and configuration. References :- Monitor the reachability of network ports in ONTAP 9.8 and later, Map network ports using ONTAP 9.8 or later, Map network ports using ONTAP 9.7 or earlier

 To make the destination NAS volume writable, you need to break the SnapMirror relationship using the snapmirror break command from the destination cluster, and then use the volume mount command to mount the NAS volume in the NFS namespace. Breaking the SnapMirror relationship will make the destination volume read/write and allow clients to access the latest Snapshot copy. Mounting the volume in the NFS namespace will make the volume visible to the clients and enable them to access the data. The other options are not correct because:

Deleting the SnapMirror relationship from the destination cluster will not make the destination volume writable, but rather remove the relationship configuration and history. This will prevent future resynchronization or updates of the relationship.

Breaking the SnapMirror relationship using the snapmirror break command from the source cluster will not work, because the source cluster is unavailable due to networking issues. The command must be run from the destination cluster. References :- Break the SnapMirror relationship, Mount a volume in the namespace

When you perform an upgrade using ONTAP System Manager 9.8, you can use the automated nondisruptive update (ANDU) feature, which simplifies and streamlines the update process. The latest available images will appear in the ONTAP System Manager interface, and you can select the image you want to install. The update history is available within the ONTAP System Manager interface, and you can view the status and progress of the update. You do not need to manually upload the images to the cluster or download them from the NetApp Support site, as ONTAP System Manager will automatically download and upload the images as needed. References :- Automated nondisruptive ONTAP upgrade, How to Upgrade to ONTAP 9.8

To deploy an SVM to serve SMB data, you must have sufficient space for the root volume, a non-root aggregate in the online state, and synchronize the cluster time. The root volume is the volume that contains the SVM configuration and metadata, and it must have enough space to accommodate the SVM growth1. The non-root aggregate is the aggregate that contains the data volumes that you will create and share using SMB2. The cluster time is the time that is synchronized across all nodes in the cluster, and it must be consistent with the Active Directory domain time to avoid authentication failures3. Encryption is not required on the root volume, asit does not store any user data. Export policies are not relevant for SMB access, as they are used to control NFS access4. References :- SVM root volume overview, Create a new SVM with a CIFS volume and share, Synchronize the cluster time, Export policy overview

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
