NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP SAN — Question 7

You are completing an ONTAP base installation, and your customer is asking you to create two SVMs, one for NFS and one for SMB.
Which type of SVM needs to be created to complete the installation?

Answer options

• A. system SVM
• B. data SVM
• C. admin SVM
• D. multitenancy node SVM

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, system SVM, because it is required to manage the underlying storage resources and to support both NFS and SMB protocols. The other options, such as data SVM, admin SVM, and multitenancy node SVM, are not suitable for this specific installation requirement as they serve different purposes within the ONTAP architecture.
