NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP — Question 5

What owns the file system while provisioning SAN?

Answer options

• A. LUN
• B. host
• C. ONTAP software
• D. volume

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The host is the entity that owns and manages the file system while provisioning a SAN, as it interacts directly with the storage. The LUN (Logical Unit Number) is a logical reference to storage volumes but does not own the file system. ONTAP software is the operating system that manages storage systems but is not the owner itself. A volume is a storage component but does not own the file system either.
