NetApp Certified Data Administrator (NCDA) – ONTAP v3 — Question 36

Your Windows clients were able to access your CIFS SVM yesterday. Today they are no longer able to access the CIFS SVM on your NetApp cluster. Your IT security team just pushed out a new group policy to enhance security.
In this scenario, which statement is true?

Answer options

• A. Your CIFS SVM is not using DNS.
• B. Your CIFS SVM is configured to use SMBv1 and SMBv2.
• C. Your CIFS SVM is configured for NFSv3 access.
• D. Your CIFS SVM is configured for the wrong domain.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because if the CIFS SVM is not using DNS, it could result in clients being unable to resolve the SVM's name after the security changes. Options B and C are incorrect since the question does not indicate any issues with SMB versions or NFS configuration, while option D does not relate to DNS issues, as being part of the wrong domain would not directly affect DNS resolution.
