Which technologies are involved during a takeover event on an ONTAP cluster?

• A. Storage Failover
• B. Aggregate Relocations
• C. Both
• D. Neither

Answer: (C)

During a takeover, one node in the ONTAP cluster fails and the surviving node assumes control of the disks and services from the failed partner. This relies on Storage Failover to reroute I/O paths from the failed node to the surviving node, keeping volumes accessible with minimal disruption. At the same time, aggregates that were owned by the failed node need to be owned by the surviving node, which is handled through Aggregate Relocation. Together, these mechanisms ensure data remains accessible and the storage layout remains consistent after a takeover.
