Which resource is most suitable for validating ONTAP configuration against best practices?

• A. Active IQ Config Advisor
• B. NetAppDocs
• C. Active IQ Digital Advisor
• D. NetApp Support Site

Answer: (A)

For validating ONTAP configuration against best practices, you want a tool that analyzes your setup and flags deviations from recommended settings. Active IQ Config Advisor does exactly that: it scans ONTAP configurations (such as SVMs, protocols, QoS, security, and other settings) and compares them to NetApp’s best-practice checks, producing an actionable report with remediation guidance to bring the configuration into alignment. NetAppDocs provides official guidance but requires manual review rather than automatic validation. Active IQ Digital Advisor focuses on overall health, performance optimization, and risk alerts across the environment rather than a targeted best-practices validation of ONTAP config. NetApp Support Site hosts articles and resources but not an automated configuration validator.
