NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, Specialist — Question 15

An administrator enables the NFS protocol on an SVM and creates a volume to be used as a datastore in a VMware environment. After a rescan, the volume is not visible on the ESXi hosts.
What must the administrator validate to resolve this problem?

Answer options

• A. Access control
• B. Security style
• C. Name service
• D. Export policy

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The administrator needs to validate the export policy because it controls the access rights for the NFS volume. If the export policy does not allow access from the ESXi hosts, the volume will not be visible. The other options, while important for configuration, do not directly influence the visibility of the NFS volume in this scenario.
