All -
Anyone have any updated information would be appreciated. Was looking into registering to renew my NCIE-SAN ONTAP now rather than wait for Insight, especially where there will not be free exams during Insight this year (I have about 5 to renew/take this year).
During registration, I was blocked because the NSO-519 test requires passing NSO-161, which is the NCDA test as a pre-req. However, historically the NCDA has renewed as a child test after taking either NCIE-SAN ONTAP or NCIE-DP tests. I renewed my NCIE-DP at last years Insight (I alternate them each year), and my certification history shows that my NCDA is good until 2022 despite actually taking the NCDA only once back in 2014 (a very old test in that regard).
Now NetApp is telling us we need to take it again? Really?
