Your customer received an HA pair of FAS8040 nodes with two half-populated disk shelves which
they want to add to their cluster. When you arrive to add the nodes to their cluster, the customer
informs you that they have 24 NSE drives that they want to use to fully populate two of the disk
shelves.
What should you do in this scenario?

A.
Change the boot variable bootarg.strorageencryption.support to false.

B.
Move all the NSE disks into one shelf and all the hard disks into the other shelf before you
install the new HA pair.

C.
Inform your customer that they cannot mix NSE drives and regular hard disks in a storage
system.

D.
Comply with your customers request, and add the NSE drives before you add the nodes and
disk shelves to their cluster.

Explanation:
All disks in the storage system and optional attached disk shelves must have
encryption functionality to be able to use Storage Encryption.
You cannot mix regular non-encrypting disks with self-encrypting disks.
Note: NetApp Storage Encryption (NSE) is NetApp’s implementation of full-disk encryption (FDE)
using self-encrypting drives from leading vendors. Clustered Data ONTAP 8.3, Physical Storage Management Guide
