NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP v3 — Question 12

A customer asks what is the correct way to configure an ONTAP system for multi-tenancy. The customer wants to serve data and also protect data using
SnapMirror from tenant A using network A and from tenant B using network B.
In this scenario, which statement is correct?

Answer options

• A. The customer must use different VLANs for the two tenants.
• B. This setup can only work if tenant A and tenant B use a shared network infrastructure.
• C. The customer must set up two different IPspaces for the two tenants.
• D. Each node can only communicate with tenant A or tenant B, but not with both at the same time.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the multi-tenancy setup relies on a shared network infrastructure to facilitate communication and data protection between the tenants. Option A is incorrect as different VLANs are not a requirement for this scenario. Option C is wrong because using separate IPspaces is not necessary if a shared network is used. Option D is incorrect as nodes can communicate with both tenants when properly configured.
