NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP v3 — Question 14

While troubleshooting client access issues to a CIFS share, you notice that the issue only occurs when the data LIF that the clients are accessing is on a specific node in the cluster.
In this scenario, which configuration should you review to determine why this issue is happening?

Answer options

• A. cluster health
• B. Kerberos
• C. share path
• D. export policies

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Kerberos is crucial for CIFS authentication and issues with it can lead to access problems. The other options, while potentially relevant to the overall health of the cluster, do not directly address the authentication process that Kerberos manages, which is essential for accessing shares.
