Installing and assigning new disk shelves in a production ONTAP cluster requires careful planning and validation. Three NetApp tools directly support this task.
TheHardware Universeprovides authoritative hardware compatibility and cabling guidance. It confirms which shelves, disk types, and cabling methods are supported for the specific controller platform and HA configuration.
TheSynergy applicationis used during installation to generate structured workflows, configuration guidance, and documentation that assist with shelf installation and disk assignment planning.
Config Advisoris essential after installation to validate shelf cabling, disk visibility, ownership, and HA pathing. It detects misconfigurations that could prevent proper disk assignment or create unsupported states.
My AutoSupport is used for telemetry and case management, not installation tasks. System Setup is used for initial cluster creation, not advanced shelf assignment planning.
Thus, the correct tools areA, B, and C.
