Cohesity Certified Installation
Professional (CCIP) Practice Exam.
Q1. What is the minimum number of nodes required to form a
new Cohesity cluster?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
Answer: C
Rationale: A Cohesity cluster requires a minimum of 3 nodes to
establish quorum and ensure high availability. A single node can
run in a special "Starter Cluster" configuration for non-production
use, but a production cluster requires 3 .

Q2. What is the maximum supported round-trip latency
between nodes in a single Cohesity cluster?
A) 1 ms
B) 5 ms
C) 10 ms
D) 50 ms
Answer: B
Rationale: Cohesity supports a maximum of 5 ms RTT latency
between nodes in a single cluster. Higher latency can cause
stability issues and timeouts .
Q3. What is the maximum supported cluster size in terms of
number of nodes?
A) 16
B) 32
C) 64
D) 128
,Page 3 of 130
Answer: C
Rationale: Cohesity clusters scale up to 64 nodes per cluster as of
the latest major versions (varies by model, but 64 is a common
limit) .
Q4. Which of the following should be verified during the pre-
installation phase? (Select all that apply)
A) Proper power redundancy at the rack level
B) Network cabling and switch configuration
C) Firmware versions
D) Backup schedules
Answer: A, B, C
Rationale: The Pre-Installation Checklist validates that networking,
power, space, and firmware meet requirements before
installation begins. Backup schedules are configured post-
installation .

Q5. A customer wants to deploy a Cohesity cluster across two
physical data centers. What is the maximum supported round-
trip latency between nodes?
A) 1 ms
B) 5 ms
C) 10 ms
D) 50 ms
Answer: B
Rationale: Cohesity supports a maximum of 5 ms RTT latency
between nodes in a single cluster .
Q6. Which bonding mode is commonly used with switch
LACP?
A) Active-backup
B) XOR
C) 802.3ad
D) Round robin
