Options

- BA virtual filer
- CA Virtual Server
- DA high-available pair of storage systems
Explanation
In Clustered Data ONTAP, protocol access to data is provided through a Virtual Server (Vserver/SVM), which owns the LIFs, volumes, and protocol services clients use.
Common mistakes.
- A. A cluster is the top-level collection of nodes and storage resources and does not itself present protocol endpoints directly to data clients.
- B. A virtual filer is terminology from Data ONTAP 7-Mode multi-store environments and is not the correct term for the protocol-access entity in Clustered ONTAP (C-Mode).
- D. An HA pair is a redundancy pairing of two nodes for storage failover purposes and does not serve as the logical entity through which protocol access is provided to clients.
