NS0-157 · Question #121
With clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 or later, an administrator may use NDMP commands at which two levels? (Choose Two)
The correct answer is A. Node D. Vserver. In clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 and later, NDMP can be scoped to either the node level or the Vserver (SVM) level for backup and restore operations.

Why each option
In clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 and later, NDMP can be scoped to either the node level or the Vserver (SVM) level for backup and restore operations.
Node-scoped NDMP ties backup sessions to a specific physical node, allowing tape devices directly connected to that node to perform backup operations for data on that node.
There is no cluster-level NDMP scope in Data ONTAP; NDMP sessions are scoped only to individual nodes or Vservers.
Intercluster is not a valid NDMP operational scope - it refers to peering relationships, not a tier at which NDMP sessions are managed.
Vserver-scoped NDMP allows backup sessions to be managed at the SVM level, enabling data mobility so backups are not tied to a specific physical node and can follow LIF migration.
