    Hi.
    Please, can anybody explain me why RAID-DP is the correct answer?
    Looking at the exhibition, if rg consists of 8 disks, there are 2 rg 7+1 with RAID type RAID4.
    If anyone can explain mny wrong approach I appreciate.

    Thanks

    Lumir

    This should be a RAID 4. Since size of aggregate is 8 then it is saying there are 2 RAID 4 groups each with 1 Parity Disk and 7 Data Disks

    i am taking my exam in a few days anyone use this material successfully

    This question is changed on the exam. Instead of 8 disks they say its 16 disks. So RAID-DP is correct in that case, but if you have practiced this with ONTAP Sim its pretty common sense. If only 8 disks are mentioned i would go for RAID4

    I guess it is because RAID-DP says that there have to be two Parity Disks per aggregate and not per Raid Group.
    Therefore the answer “RAID-DP” should be correct here.
