NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – E-Series — Question 32

You are creating a CIFS-based SVM, but the SVM cannot join the domain.
In this scenario, which two actions would be helpful in troubleshooting the problem? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Verify that the clocks are synchronized between the SVM and the domain controller.
• B. Verify that each node has a data LIF.
• C. Verify that the data LIF can access the Active Directory domain controller.
• D. Verify that the cluster admin account is used to join the Active Directory.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Verifying that each node has a data LIF (option B) is crucial because without it, the nodes cannot communicate properly with the domain. Additionally, checking that the data LIF can access the Active Directory domain controller (option C) is essential to ensure network connectivity. The other options, while potentially relevant, do not directly address the connectivity issue at hand.
