NS0-157 · Question #201

To support multi-tenancy, an administrator must create or enable which type of unique login account?

The correct answer is D. vsadmin, for each vserver. Multi-tenancy in ONTAP requires a dedicated vsadmin account per Vserver to provide isolated, tenant-specific administrative access within the cluster.

Why each option

Multi-tenancy in ONTAP requires a dedicated vsadmin account per Vserver to provide isolated, tenant-specific administrative access within the cluster.

Avsadmin, for the cluster

vsadmin is a Vserver-scoped role, not a cluster-scoped role, so associating it with the cluster is technically incorrect.

Badmin, for each Vserver

The 'admin' account is the cluster administrator account and does not provide per-Vserver tenant isolation.

Cadmin, for the cluster

The cluster 'admin' account has cluster-wide privileges and is not a tenant-specific account, making it unsuitable for multi-tenancy.

Dvsadmin, for each vserverCorrect

vsadmin is the built-in administrative account scoped exclusively to an individual Vserver (SVM), limiting its permissions to that Vserver's resources only. This per-Vserver account isolation is the technical mechanism that enables multi-tenancy in ONTAP Cluster-Mode. Each tenant receives their own vsadmin credential without visibility into other Vservers or cluster-wide settings.
