Which NetApp tool would you use to verify ONTAP 9.8 compatibility with Windows Server 2016?

• A. Compatibility Matrix
• B. Interoperability Matrix Tool
• C. System Advisor
• D. Windows Compatibility Guide

Answer: (B)

Use the Interoperability Matrix Tool. It provides the official, up-to-date compatibility data between NetApp ONTAP releases and operating systems like Windows Server 2016, including any required patches, drivers, or specific configuration notes. By looking up ONTAP 9.8 against Windows Server 2016 in this tool, you can confirm whether that exact combination is supported and learn any prerequisites or caveats before deployment. Other resources exist for related purposes—the Windows Compatibility Guide is Windows-focused and may not capture the exact ONTAP release-level compatibility, System Advisor is geared more toward planning and readiness, and a static Compatibility Matrix may not reflect the latest validated combinations as promptly as the Interactive Matrix Tool.
