Which two steps should an administrator take to create a two-node ONTAP Select cluster that spans two data centers and provide automated switchover without any data loss? (Choose two.)
A.
Use ONTAP Mediator service to make sure that a quorum exists for the two nodes
B.
Make sure that the ONTAP Select Deploy VM resides at a third location other than the two data centers
C.
Use ONTAP Select Deploy to install the nodes on the VMware environment
D.
Set up a SnapMirror Synchronous relationship in StrictSync mode to prevent any data loss in case of a failover
Correct answers here are A and C
"A two-node cluster continuously relies on the ONTAP Select Deploy VM for HA quorum. An ONTAP Select Deploy VM taking part in a two-node HA quorum negotiation is labeled a Mediator VM."

"As with all two-node ONTAP Select clusters, there is a separate mediator service contained in the Deploy virtual machine that monitors the nodes and assists in managing failures. With the enhanced distance available with MetroCluster SDS, this creates three distinct sites in the network topology."
