NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – Data Protection — Question 7

You created a new SVM with two NFS data volumes. You have a Linux host on the same subnet as the SVM that is able to NFS mount, however a Linux host on a different subnet is not able to NFS mount. You confirmed that the export policy rules are correct.
In this scenario, which configuration will solve the mount failure? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. The NFS server is not configured on the SVM.
• B. NTP is not configured on the SVM.
• C. NFS auditing is not enabled on the SVM.
• D. The SVM default network route is missing.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because if the NFS server is not configured on the SVM, the mount operation will fail regardless of other settings. Options B and C are not directly related to the ability to mount NFS shares, and option D pertains to routing issues that would not prevent NFS access if the server is configured correctly.
