NS0-003 Netapp NetApp Certified Technology Associate Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

Astra is a NetApp cloud product that provides data management and protection for stateful containerized applications. It allows you to create snapshots, clones, backups, and restores of Kubernetes applications and their persistent volumes.

three nodes are required for a NetApp SolidFire storage cluster. This is the minimum number of nodes needed to ensure high availability and data protection. The other options are not correct or not required for a NetApp SolidFire storage cluster. References:https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/element-software/concept_cluster_overview.html

When you configure the Erasure Coding profile for an ILM rule, you select an available erasure coding scheme. Erasure coding schemes control how many data fragments and how many parity fragments are created for each object. The erasure coding schemes that are available depend on how many Storage Nodes and sites make up the storage pool you plan to use.

C and D are correct because erasure coding and object replication are two StorageGRID features that provide data durability for large unstructured datasets. Erasure coding is a technique that splits an object into data fragments and parity fragments and distributes them across different nodes or sites. Object replication is a technique that creates multiple copies of an object and stores them on different nodes or sites. The other options are not features of StorageGRID or do not provide data durability.

SnapMirror is a replication software that preserves NetApp ONTAP storage efficiencies, such as deduplication and compression, when transferring data between ONTAP systems. The other options are not replication software or do not preserve ONTAP storage efficiencies. References:https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/snapmirror/snapmirror-overview.html

VMware ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V are two examples of Type 1 hypervisors, which run directly on the hardware and provide virtualization services to guest operating systems. The otheroptions are examples of Type 2 hypervisors, which run on top of a host operating system and provide virtualization services to guest operating systems. References:https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/concept_hypervisor_types.html

FlexVol volume can be used for file or block data and can share its containing aggregate with other volumes. A FlexVol volume is a logical container for data that is loosely coupled to its containing aggregate. The other options are not correct about a FlexVol volume. References:https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1196986/html/GUID-AE9B67AB-DE96-4A3A-A110-34320754407E.html

Cisco UCS Director is a product that provides unified management of compute, storage, and virtualization resources in a FlexPod reference architecture. It enables automation and orchestration of workflows across physical and virtual environments.

A is true because running multiple nodes from the same cluster on the same host can compromise availability and performance. C is true because VMware ESXi and Red Hat KVM are the supported hypervisors for ONTAP Select deployment.

Administrative and deploy are two actions that are customer-operated when using NetApp Keystone Flex Subscription. Administrative actions include managing users, roles, and permissions. Deploy actions include provisioning storage resources and configuring policies.

A is true because NetApp StorageGRID appliances provide enterprise-grade hardware with high availability, durability, and performance. C is true because NetApp StorageGRID appliances simplify the deployment of object storage by automating the installation and configuration process. The other statements are not benefits of using StorageGRID appliances. References:https://www.netapp.com/pdf.html?item=/media/16348-tr4743pdf.pdf

SANtricity System Manager is a web-based application that allows you to manage E-Series and EF-Series storage arrays from a single pane of glass. It provides centralized monitoring, configuration, and management of E-Series and EF-Series storage systems.

 NetApp enables customers to provision, monitor and manage their cloud and on-premises storage through a single UI (Cloud Manager), back up data to private or public clouds (Cloud Backup), and enable secure replication between on-premises storage systems and the public cloud (SnapMirror Cloud). The other options are not reasons for using NetApp technologies in this scenario. References:https://www.netapp.com/data-fabric/

Advanced Disk Partitioning (ADP) is a feature that enables you to partition each disk into two partitions: one for data and one for root aggregates. This reduces the number of disks required for root aggregates and increases the number of disks available for data aggregates, thus reducing the RAID parity overhead and optimizing the storage capacity. References:https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/concept_adp_overview.html

server virtualization allows hosts to be upgraded or replaced non-disruptively to the virtual machines running on the hosts by using features such as live migration or vMotion. The other options are not advantages of server virtualization from a maintenance perspective. References:https://phoenixnap.com/kb/what-is-server-virtualization
