NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – E-Series — Question 11

An administrator is configuring a third-party software for NDMP. The application is targeting the IP of the data LIF of the SVM called "SVM1. "NDMP is configured as the SVM scope. The NDMP service is not enabled for the admin SVM. SVM1 has a user called "Tom" with the backup role. Tom can connect by using SSH to the controller with the credentials that he used to configure the third-party software. The authentication of the third-party software is falling.
In this scenario, what is the reason for the authentication failure?

Answer options

• A. The NDMP password has not been generated for Tom.
• B. The application is not targeting the IP of the cluster or node management LIF.
• C. The NDMP service is not enabled for the admin SVM.
• D. The user Tom does not belong to the admin SVM.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the NDMP service needs to be enabled for the admin SVM for Tom to authenticate successfully. Options A and D are incorrect as they do not pertain to the NDMP service settings, while option B is irrelevant since the application correctly targets SVM1's data LIF.
