Which statement describes an SVM?

Answer options

• A. An SVM is a logical device that shares data.
• B. An SVM is a node in the cluster.
• C. An SVM is a logical network interface.
• D. An SVM is a storage volume type.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as an SVM (Storage Virtual Machine) is specifically a storage volume type that manages data within a storage system. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they mischaracterize the function of an SVM, which is not primarily about data sharing, clustering, or network interfaces.
