Pass Your Network Appliance NS0-156 Exam Easy!

Just passed the NCDA Cluster 8.2. There are some questions on overall ONTAP concepts but very few 8.1 questions. Some questions when they are fresh in my head:

- Protocols supported by the ONTAP System with Infinite volumes?
- Protocols supported by Infinite volumes
- Tool used to map ISCI initiators to LUNs?
- What happens when vserver vol0 is mirrored and the destination volume is promoted?
- Option to use configuring the LIF to be used for ISCSI?
- Maximum number of nodes supported by CN1610
- pNFS4.1 reduces traffic on which network? (Management, Cluster, Data etc).
- What is the minimum version of Command manager to manage ONTAP 8.2?
- Three Characterstics of FPolicy (Can be increased or decreased etc)
- Three new features supported by IPV6 in 8.2?
- What LIF's are required to be configured when using snapvault with in a VServer? (One of the options is no required additional LIF's but am not sure).
- With 8.2 QOS can be implemented at which levels? (Options: Vserver, Node, Cluster etc)
- To enable NDMP at VServer level in 8.2 which feature need to be enabled?
- What actions will lock the volume during snapshot?
- What do RSA do to send Autosupport logs?
- Which option is true about Single Node cluster?
- What is required when a 2 node switchless cluster is expanded to 4 nodes?
- What are the supported NetApp series in a cluster? (FASxxxx with FASxxxx etc)

I am happy to announce that I passed today with 82% studying these 154 questions (2 days only, not knowing a thing about NetApp). You need to correct the answers, but these are the exact questions in the exam, word to word. I only had 4 new questions, some people had 8-10 new questions. I think you will fail if you rely on these answers, but the good news is these are the real exam questions..Good Luck.

Anyone has latest dump for NS0-156 exam, Could you please share?

guys could some one please share latest cluster mode dumps or please update the vce file.

Are questions coming from cluster mode 8.2 version only?

Error: command failed: [Job 17] Job failed: Failed to create aggregate aggr3
on shift-01. Reason: 3 disks specified, but at least 5 disks are required for raid_dp.

Largo,

For the purpose of this exam, if it asks for minimum number of disks for RAID DP in 8.2 the answer is 5. Don't get caught up in confusing 'what if this or that'.

The minimum number of disks in a RAID-DP group is three: at least one data disk, one regular parity disk, and one double-parity (dParity) disk. However, for non-root aggregates with only one RAID group, you must have at least 5 disks (three data disks and two parity disks).

The minimum number of disks in a RAID4 group is two: at least one data disk and one parity disk.

Isnt the minimum # disks 2 for RAID 4 and 3 for RAID DP ?

With clustered Data ONTAP 8.2, what two non-disruptive upgrade techniques are supported on cluster of 8 nodes or more? (Choose two)

rolling

Name two modes of BranchCache. (Choose two)
distributed (does not require any infrastructure or services in the branch office beyond client computers that run W7)
hosted (The hosted cache server at the branch office must run Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012)

Which SMB feature provides a local data cache for remote clients?
BrancheCache

This dump is invalid. I Failed today with 67%. The pass is 75
Much more 8.2 questions about 50% approx
Please post a new dump. I will need much more 8.2 questions to study and review in order to pass on second try

Some new Questions

DOT 8.2 infinite volume support what all protocols
What is the minimum DOT version to upgrade to 8.2
What level QoS can apply
What is the feature used for load sharing across cluster in 8.2
RSA will access and send logs and configs from which which two directories
What will be created during a single node cluster setup?
What need to be created before creating vserver in System Manager (Select one---root vol,aggregate,data lif.etc.)
Functionalities supported for Synchronous FPolicy

What is the file extension for NDMP backup
CN1610 cluster switch will support .. nodes cluster (ans 8)
Two cluster switches support in 8.2
Two types of upgrades in 8.2

Passed 87%, 5 Sep 2013. The dump is invalid! Based on CDOT8.2, only 10 questions are still the same. New questions about snaplock, snapmirror between vserver, snapvault, snapmirror fan in/out, QoS, FPolicy, VST, CDOT single node, CDOT 2-node without cluster network, transition tool, SMB3

Lucky Me..passed..
Questions changed .Only about 10-12 qs from the dumps ..
All new 8.2 Qs.

@Descr.. Please share some new 8.2 questions if you remember.

The dump in invalid approximately 30%.
My result was 68% correct answers and I get 25 unknown questions. Preparation from NetApp site doesnt help.

I found preparation on the NetApp site
https://learningcenter.netapp.com/content/public/production/extra/certification/NS0-156-PRACTICE/index_wbt.html
Maybe we can find some new questions in.
Going to take a test today.

DUMP IS INVALID. All 8.2 questions as of today when I took the exam. passed by skin of my teeth. wait for an updated dump.

BugUn, did you pass? Please let us know if you encountered new 8.2 ONTAP questions.

There were about 1/2 8.2 questions when I took this last week. Further, check the release notes (90 pages) for 8.2 and saying there are only minor changes is nonsense, there are hundreds. Going back in there to retest today.. feeling about 50/50 I'll pass

@ UKID and anyone that doubts it. Trust me, the exam has changed as of August 30th. It contains many questions related to 8.2 that this dump does not include. If you solely study for the 8.1 version you will fail (unless you have experience using all of the new 8.2 features and/or guess well). The test is called Clustered Data ONTAP Administrator and it doesn't have 8.1 anywhere in the title. http://www.netapp.com/us/services-support/university/certifications/ncda.aspx..see for youself. Don't make people go fail the test because you think you know something you don't.

Also ONTAP 8.2 only comes with minor features such as SMB 3.0. The rest of the OS is exactly the same

Some of the users are putting others off from taking this exam by stating that they have failed the exam and that the exam has changed. Checkout NetApp site at http://www.netapp.com/us/services-support/university/certifications/ncda.aspx it still says 8.1 Data Ontap. 8.2 was only released two months ago and why NetApp hasn't changed their site to reflect change in exam version.
Take the exam

Hi csdragon,

Do you have the latest dump for the COT 8.2 questions?

This version is no longer valid. It appears as though they have recently updated to COT 8.2 questions and now only about 20% of these are valid, which means fail if this is your only study source.

no 8.2 questions - only 20% matched with the real exam - failed :-(

Hello Daulex,

Do not mind Larry, this dump is at least 90% correct. I did mine using this dump on 28th August.

Hello

How can one of you passed exam with 90 % , and another had only 20 % of those questions.
Can someone confirm again is this dump correct

I studied this exam only 20% questions were from this vce. A lot of questions on ONTAP 8.2 but none of them were in here.

Dump is Valid. I passed with 92%

Dump is valid. I passed %90.

Sorry RatMan

As I understand you this is your dump or you make another one ?

Passed today with 92 %,
This dump I've created me and I have uploaded to examcollection.

Still valid

I've taken an exam today. This dump has more questions that previous dumps. I will retake an exam after 10 days.
