NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – E-Series — Question 86

You must create separate SVMs that are based on teams. You also need to create separate SVMs that are based on the block-level and file-level protocols. Your
DevOps team requests NFS and CIFS protocols, your AI team requests NFS and NVMe protocols, and your marketing team requests SBM and iSCSI protocols.
In this scenario, what is the minimum number of SVMs that you must create to satisfy these requirements?

Answer options

• A. 3
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 4

Correct answer: D

Explanation

To meet the requirements, you need one SVM for each team and protocol combination. This results in 4 unique combinations: DevOps (NFS, CIFS), AI (NFS, NVMe), and Marketing (SBM, iSCSI), leading to a minimum of 4 SVMs. The other options do not account for all the specified protocol requirements effectively.
